How often should you exfoliate your skin? In this YouTube Short, dermatologist Dr. Dray explains how frequently exfoliating acids can typically be used in a skincare routine.
Many common chemical exfoliants, including glycolic acid, lactic acid, and other AHAs, can potentially be used once or even twice a day, depending on the specific product and how well your skin tolerates it. However, more frequent exfoliation is not necessarily better for everyone.
Dr. Dray explains why it is best to start slowly, pay attention to your skin's response, and gradually increase frequency as tolerated. If exfoliation causes persistent burning, redness, irritation, or dryness, it may be a sign that you are using it too frequently.
The right exfoliation schedule depends on the product, concentration, your skin type, and your individual tolerance.
