What it is
Signs of over-exfoliation include redness, sensitivity, and a compromised skin barrier.
How it works in skincare
Using harsh scrubs or exfoliating too frequently can strip the skin of essential oils, leading to irritation and dehydration.
Exfoliation is beneficial, but overdoing it will harm the skin. Stick to exfoliating 1–3 times a week, and always follow with a hydrating moisturiser to maintain balance.
