First things first, what is exfoliation, anyway? Now, how often should you exfoliate your face? Skin should be exfoliated up to 3-4 times per week as dead skin can get trapped on the surface and cause clogged pores, rough skin texture, dullness, and breakouts! Is
Exfoliation Good For My Skin? Skin naturally sheds its top layer, and by exfoliating you are helping your skin along in its natural process. For example, for men, exfoliating helps with facial shaving and can improve uneven skin tone. However, all of that said, over exfoliation can remove your skin’s natural oils that act as a barrier between
icky gunk and the good, good stuff. This results in exactly what you were trying to prevent to begin with. Some signs of over exfoliation include an extra shiny forehead, facial puffiness, excessive breakouts, skin tightness, peeling or flaking. If you notice any of these, stop immediately and let your skin re-align itself. A great face scrub can bring out your inner radiance and even your skin tone. Just don’t overdo it. Plus, the best time to exfoliate your face is at night
before bed. This way, you can follow-up with a hydrating night cream and let all that delish moisture soak on in. If you are new to exfoliation and have sensitive skin, consult your dermatologist. (36 )

Is it okay to use apricot scrub everyday?NO: if you're using a walnut/apricot or dermabrasion-based scrub, then just once-a-week usage is recommended. For slightly mature skin, you could scrub twice a week since the cell renewal process slows down with age and scrubbing more frequently will aid the process.
Is apricot scrub good for your face?Face scrubs formulated with apricot kernels promote new skin growth by ridding the skin of the old, dead cells on the surface. Because it rids the skin of the damaged surface cells, this exfoliating action can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
How long do you leave apricot scrub on?On my moist face, I apply pea sized dots of this scrub and massage it gently for about 30-40 seconds. Scrubbing your skin for more than a minute can actually leave minute tears on skin. So never over exfoliate your skin. Tip: If you have oily and acne prone skin, and don't rely on physical scrubs to clean your pores.
