exfoliation should not be done everyday, but once or twice per week. i suggest you use a normal cleanser/gel cleanser/cream cleanser the rest of the days and the scrub for two other days.





st.ives apricot radiance cream cleanser is very nice :))Is it bad to use a facial scrub everyday? In other words is it bad to exfoliate daily?
Don't scrub everyday. Your skin will become thinner! Use it once a week or twice a week if your pores clog easily. My face is a very good example of thinning due to scrubbing everyday in my younger days. Now my capillaries have become more visible. Use the scub sparingly and massage lightly on your face.
I also use St. Ives Apricot scrub but only once or twice a week. Actually using a wash cloth will exfoliate your skin enough so you won't have to use a scrub unless you want. The wash cloth isn't that abrasive and yes you can exfoliate too much. Just like people who have oily skin can wash their face too much. So, I would reccommend using the scrub once a week, Cetaphil cleanser daily, Witch Hazel for a toner and always a facial moisturizer.
if your skin is irritated try moisturizing your face after you scrub to see if that helps other wise you may have to go to every other day.
I wouldn't use it daily. When you exfoliate, you are removing old dead skin and exposing new skin. Daily use is harsh on the new skin you've exposed.
It depends on the harshness of the exfoliant, and the sentivity of your skin.





I use Proactiv and I exfoliate daily, because the cleanser has exfoliators in it.
It's actually good for you. Exfoliation gets rid of dead skin cells.
You should use a daily lotion like beta hydroxy acid and only use a gentle scrub 3-4 times a week. Some of the scrubs like the one you are using have ground up nut shells and they can scratch your skin. If you use a hydroxy lotion it will exfoliate from with in and help new cells form so when you do scrub it will remove the dead cells. The lotion will also bring white heads and black heads to the surface.
The bottles say 1-2 times a week. I do it everyday, lol. So if it's bad for you, we're in it together!
No, it's actually good to exfoliate/wash daily. It unclogs your pours and gets rid of excess oil. If you don't wash daily your chances for acne greatly improves.
unless you have extremely oily skin about once a month is all you need otherwise you will deplete your face of all the natural oils that it needs and other defenses that it would naturally build up.
no, i use the same scrub as you
I think you should be gentle with your face. Try facial cleanser like Cetaphil. You can get store brand at a cheaper price in many drugstores. It is a non-soap cleanser. Follow directions. Drink lots of water to keep your skin hydrated. I think it is a bad idea to scrub your face. It is not a frying pan.
I agree with this is the bomb ... Once or twice a week and do the wash every day
