A member asked:
How often should you wash and exfoliate your face?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wash daily: But exfoliate once every 2-3 weeks at most. The exfoliation creates a lot of trauma and inflammation to the skin. You need to allow the skin to heal properly. Use the gentlest cleansers and moisturizers possible.
