Recently I decided to buy St Ives Apricot scrub to exfoliate my face, but I was wondering if I was over exfoliating.
I've been using it twice a day (morning and night) and my skin feels great and so smooth after I use it. But I have also heard that you shouldn't exfoliate your skin too often. Sooo I was wondering if using it day and night is too much for my skin? Or is the scrub gentle enough to use twice a day?
I did search around for answers and got a lot of mixed answers.
I'm also new to these skincare regimens so please forgive me if this question is a bit strange.
So how often should I exfoliate?
And if it helps, here's a teensy bit of info on my skin
- I have oily skin, mostly on my forehead and nose
- I had bad acne, but I'm almost clear of it!
- I drink a lot of water to keep my skin hydrated
TIA!
