Face exfoliation and skin break out?

Is it normal to initially have skin break outs after using an exfoliator/peel? It seems to happen to me no matter what products I use. I get a blemish or two and then some, swollen reddened pores, after a few uses they diminish. Just wondering if this is normal when you use these products or if I am using the wrong products for my skin? Any thoughts on this?Face exfoliation and skin break out?
It is often the case that when you first start a new treatment process that the skin takes time to get used to it. Ideally, it is best to use the treatment less frequently to see if that helps or stop totally and consult a doctor.





For the topic of specifically face exfoliation, there's a great article that goes into explaining the whys about it and talks about good ways to do it: http://www.cureacneathome.com/acne-preve鈥?/a>Face exfoliation and skin break out?
Little tip, if something makes your skin break out. DON'T USE IT. Use an acne fighting cleanser and an acne fighting moisturizer every day twice a day (when you wake up, and before you go to bed). You will see a major improvement. You shouldn't over load your skin with too many products. This would result in very dry skin or very oily skin (which leads to pimples/zits). If you like getting facials, review your options for a more sensitive treatment or something for acne. Get a facial every 3 months if you must.
Maybe you're skin is just too sensitive and you're not using the right exfoliant for you're skin type. I think the best would be is to go to a beauty therapist and explain you're situation. They usually know what products is best for certain skin types
