How often do you need to exfoliate your skin?

All right, here's a great question. How often should I exfoliate? I recommend one to two times a week. And you might be like, well, that's it. Why? Because our skin cells naturally exfoliate on their own. Now, granted, when you're in your teens or 20s, they exfoliate like every 20 days. As you get older, say my age, early 50s, it's every 30 days. But they're still exfoliating on their own, so you don't need to over exfoliate. And that's kind of what's happened to so many people, is they've basically over exfoliated and stripped their barrier to where every product they're using, especially if it's inactive, is over sensitizing their barrier. And what happens is when they're out in the elements, they're actually going to age more, which is not what you want. So you want a gentle exfoliant. I recommend like a lactic acid blend or glycolic. Something that isn't going to go in and disrupt any of the capillary fragility here, like the scrubs can do that are not perfectly spherical like all the seed scrubs, apricot, walnut, they can't cut those perfectly spherical. So if you have any capillary fragility, which you tend to do in this area as you get older, what happens is you can push too hard and you can actually do little micro tears. So just to be safe, I recommend a beautiful blend, nothing too sensitizing, one to two times a week of either the glycolic blend or even a lactic acid, which is the most hydrating of all the acids, which is great too.
