How often are you physically exfoliating vs chemically exfoliating vs just cleansing your face? Wondering if I need to switch things up

I have combo skin, dry cheeks oily t-zone! I typically use non-comedogenic products to prevent any reactions so it’s been a while since I’ve tested that out tbh! What do you use??

Do you have oily, dry, combo? are you prone to reacting to comodogenic products? I found that I actually need more “exfoliation” than typically recommended but I’m very careful about which products I use. With my products I can exfoliate everyday with 0 issue. I don’t like doing 1 big/abrasive thing every week

Yes, so true!! I’m currently chemically exfoliating ~2x a week but I’m wondering if I need to switch it up with some physical exfoliation too.. or maybe I need to stop online shopping for skincare and just stick with my routines haha

Hey Taryn!! I recommend doing an exfoliant no more than 2-3 times a week, and keeping it to at night to avoid sun sensitivity. I find overdoing it makes things worse and sucks the moisture from my skin

I don’t physically exfoliate right now and I’m wondering if it might help to do on occasion. What do you use for that?

physical exfoliant 1 x per week (but I can go months skipping this tbh) and chemical exfoliant 2-3x per week (swapping between AHA and BHA). Double cleanse daily!

Love that for you! Any products you recommend??

I always only use chemical exfoliating products now and my skin texture has improved a lot!
