Exfoliation question?

So I exfoliate everyday with a sugar scrub. Its really been working as far as keeping my skin smooth and clear.





My friend said that its bad to do it twice a day[morning %26amp; night]. And afterwards, I put apple cider vinegar on the problem areas. Im really using the scrub as a part of my regimen to get rid of acne scars [I have no problem with acne] and the scars seem to be going away.





Anyway, her argument is that your skin needs time to heal. Is that right or can I continue to do this?Exfoliation question?
You are doing way to much scrubbing. Even with acne ,you are not suppose to scrub that much ! main purpose of scrubbing is to get rid of dead skin cells that accumulate over time and causes us to have dull looking skin. Over scrubbing can cause your natural skin cell to come off causing your skin to become dry.





Our skin cells renew itself at night but with your over scrubbing, your skin will not have good skin cell left. Scrub you skin only twice a week at the most. Scrubbing is not the way to get rid of scars and your friend is right, your skin need time to heal.





So do your skin a favor and STOP scrubbing this much !!!!


Let your natural skin cells to grow.Exfoliation question?
I have the same problem..acne scars..if u find a solution tell me too :(
Exfoliate once or twice a week with a really good quality exfoliation product and you're skin will feel 100x better for it.





Over-exfoliating dries your skin out causing it to produce more oil as moisture and lubricant (but it makes one look so shiny!)





PS. A good, everyday use with less effort is Bio-oil. I found it really helped my acne scars. It seems weird at first, putting oil on your face, but it is absorbed quickly.
well since you are just trying to clear up scars it's fine because you want to ';peel off'; the layers of hyperpigmentation.





HOWEVER! If you have acne, this rips open the sores causing the bacteria and oil to spread which could cause more infections. Also your acne will get irritated and red, looking more severe.
simple rule sweetheart is to exfoliate once a week only..





you don't get dead skin cells everyday.. once you scrub, skin is renewed, and you wouldn't wanna scrub it off, would you? :-)
