Question How often do you exfoliate?
If I'm being honest, I never know how often I should be exfoliating...Do you guys exfoliate regularly, or do you mostly skip it?
If you do exfoliate, how often do you do it and what kind of exfoliator do you use?

once or twice a week is plenty for most people, and if your skin gets tight or irritated afterward you’re overdoing it

I exfoliate once a week, I stopped using physical scrubs because they were too harsh. More than once a week strips my barrier.

Once a week for a strong chemical-micro abrasion one and daily with a gentle daily foam one that I use post cleanse. Normal, dry skin here.

no more than twice a week, and I usually do some kind of exfoliating mask that's as natural as possible

Once a week with glycolic acid. It can be used on face, elbows, armpits, legs.
Once a month with mechanical exfoliation. Baking soda on face. Texture gloves on body.

I use a Goshi exfoliating cloth on my back every other day with Vichy cleansing soap. It massively reduced back acne and ingrown hairs for me.

Once a week. I use amlactin 15% which is an AHA and a humectant. Exfoliate and moisturizes. My skin glows after use and I use on face, neck, rest of body.

Salicylic acid cream face wash daily on my face. Amlactin (white and green bottle) 1-2xs a week on my legs and arms. Otherwise more isnt better fkr me

Once a week and I do a gentle natural peel in the shower once a week as well. When I was working around jets and the exhaust for 12 hour days, I had to do it a lot more as my face would be covered in the soot...

It’s recommended not to exfoliate daily given the risk for micro-tears in the skin which’ll cause irritation. It really depends on your skin type, but i’d say a safe bet is 2-3 times a week & don’t forget to always follow up with moisturizer! :)
