Exfoliating Daily
Although it may be tempting to scrub your skin daily, doing so can be dangerous.
Celebrity esthetician Renée Rouleau explained to Byrdie: "Exfoliating is an essential part of a skincare routine, but doing so daily—for most skin types—is too much. Exfoliating the skin daily with various types of exfoliants can cause several issues: a stripped moisture (lipid) barrier layer resulting in dehydration, flaking, redness, and inflammation; dryness; aging due to chronic and prolonged inflammation; destruction of healthy cells; stimulation of melanin activity possibly resulting in an increase of hyperpigmentation (brown spots and patches); and stinging and irritation of the skin."
With that in mind, staying away from daily scrubs is a good way to protect your skin from over exfoliation.
Instead, stick to exfoliating once or twice a week max to avoid irritating your skin.
Additionally, sticking to a chemical exfoliant rather than a physical one is a good idea, considering chemical exfoliants are typically less harsh on the skin.
