The frequency of exfoliating your skin depends on your skin type and the exfoliation method you use. As a general guideline:

  1. Normal/combination skin: It is recommended to exfoliate 2-3 times per week.
  2. Oily skin: People with oily skin can benefit from exfoliating 3-4 times per week to remove excess oil and unclog pores.
  3. Dry/sensitive skin: For dry or sensitive skin, it is advisable to exfoliate only once a week to prevent irritation.
  4. Acne-prone skin: If you have acne-prone skin, you can consider exfoliating 2-3 times per week, but be cautious to avoid over-exfoliation, which can worsen the condition.


Keep in mind that these recommendations are generalized, and it's important to pay attention to how your skin responds. If you notice any signs of irritation, redness, or dryness, reduce the frequency of exfoliation. Additionally, always choose a gentle exfoliating method and avoid harsh or abrasive products.
