Is exfoliating everyday healthy? any answer appreciated.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Exfoliating: While probably not harmful - its probably not necessary - your skin is designed to have dead skin flake off all the time. Too much exfoliating could injure the skin and cause erythema. I would do it maybe every other day and see if that controls any clogged pores that you have - balance exfoliating vs damaging your skin
