A member asked:
Is it healthy if you exfoliate the skin twice a week if you are in your 20s?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: Dear Todd393, Is your skin dry and flaky or red between exfoliation? If so you may be doing it too frequently and drying out your skin. Some exfoliators (if you are using a gel/cream) are gentle and can be used on a daily basis. Environment also plays a roll. In humid environments exfoliation is needed less often. Regards, Dr. Cacho
