Regular exfoliation plays an important role in achieving beautiful, radiant skin. Our skin renews itself every 28 days, but as we age, this renewal process slows down. Fortunately, we can help speed it up through exfoliation.

Why is facial exfoliation important?

In short, exfoliation helps maintain the skin’s youthfulness and radiance. It removes dead skin cells that can cause clogged pores and uneven texture, helps reduce wrinkles and fine lines, and improves overall skin smoothness.

It’s important to remember that exfoliating too often can have the opposite effect and cause additional skin problems. The frequency of exfoliation depends mainly on your skin type, but generally, most people should exfoliate 1–2 times a week. However, there are a few things to keep in mind before you start exfoliating diligently.

  • Skin type: Dry skin doesn’t need frequent exfoliation — once a week is usually enough. For oily skin, exfoliation can be done more often, up to twice a week. People with sensitive skin should be especially careful and exfoliate less frequently, about once every one to two weeks.


  • Skin condition: If your skin is sensitive or irritated, it’s best to postpone exfoliation. If you experience redness, a burning sensation, or excessive dryness, you should definitely reduce the frequency of exfoliation.
  • Season: Your skin’s needs can change depending on the season. For example, in winter the skin tends to be drier and more sensitive, so exfoliation should be done less often. In summer, the skin may become oilier and require more frequent exfoliation.

What does facial exfoliation do for your skin?

  • brightens the complexion, adds radiance, and gives the skin a fresh, healthy look.
  • makes the skin soft and smooth.
  • slows down the formation of wrinkles and smooths out existing fine lines.
  • removes dead skin cells and unclogs pores.
  • reduces skin flakiness.
  • speeds up the skin’s renewal process.
  • evens out the skin tone and reduces pigmentation spots.
  • enhances the absorption and effectiveness of beauty products.

After exfoliation, your skin feels like it can breathe again and is fresher than ever.

What happens if you exfoliate too much?

If you exfoliate too often or use overly harsh exfoliation methods, it can cause several unpleasant side effects.

  • Excessive dryness – over-exfoliating can remove the skin’s natural moisture barrier, leading to dryness, flakiness, and itching. This can especially affect people who already have dry skin.
  • Redness and irritation – excessive exfoliation may cause redness, irritation, and inflammation.
  • Skin sensitivity – exfoliating too often can make the skin thinner over time, increasing its sensitivity to sunlight and raising the risk of sunburn and pigmentation spots.
  • Skin micro-injuries – using exfoliants with particles that are too coarse or applying too much pressure can cause micro-damage to the skin. For example, popular homemade exfoliants like sugar, salt, or coffee grounds are not suitable for use on the face, as their particles are too large and sharp. Combined with improper techniques, they are more likely to harm the skin than benefit it.

How to know when your skin needs exfoliation?

It’s actually quite easy to tell when your facial skin needs exfoliation. Signs include a dull and lifeless complexion, clogged pores and blackheads, rough and uneven texture, and excessive oiliness. It’s important to listen to your skin’s signals and respond according to its needs. If you notice that your skin no longer looks radiant, it might be the right time to add exfoliation to your beauty routine.

NB! The cheekbone area is one of the parts of the face where the skin is thinner and more sensitive than usual, and as we age, it becomes even thinner. Therefore, it’s important to be very gentle and avoid overly harsh exfoliation on the cheekbone area.

What else should you keep in mind?

Using a moisturizing cream after exfoliating your face is essential and necessary. Exfoliation opens up the pores and can cause moisture loss. Therefore, it’s important to apply a face cream afterward to restore the skin’s hydration. It’s also worth noting that after exfoliation, the skin is fresh and more receptive to subsequent products. As a result, all creams and serums work even more effectively after exfoliation than before.
