How do you manage exfoliation for sensitive skin?

My skin has become very sensitive lately.

I used to use an exfoliator about once or twice a week.

I'm worried because I think this isn't good for my skin either.

However, the fact that my skin immediately feels rough when I stop using an exfoliator after having used it for a while is not a problem.

That's not good. How do people with sensitive skin exfoliate?

Please share any suitable products or routines you know of.
