    It all depends on your skin type – like people said – and if you use something gentle enough you can scrub everyday.

    You have something on your skin called an acid mantle, any beautician can tell you. Its made up of sebum among other things and its job is to protect the skin from outside bacteria and germs. Ever wondered why when your skin is too clean it gets pimples? Thats cos you have killed your acid mantle and allowed bacteria into your pores!
    It would depend on your skin (oilier skin can handle more scrubbing as it has more sebum) but I would only use a daily scrub if it was very gentle (such as Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant.)

    I wouldn`t recommend scrubbing everyday, it can strip the naturals oils off your face and make your skin worse, my sister did that once, she has oily skin and her skin was getting oilier – it was because her seb glands were working overtime to replace the natural oils that she was scrubbing away if that makes sense. There are scrubs that you can use everyday but they aren`t as “”grainy”” as ones you use one to two times a week but still work the same.

    AZN TOMBOI, can you tell me what your skin is like as well as your skin concerns so I can recommend some face exfoliators? Thanks x

    I don`t scrub daily either, because I have sensitive skin. I think people with tougher skin can exfoliate every day, my fiance does and his skin looks great.

    I agree with you, Style Queen. I find if I use a scrub everyday I break out. Now I scrub twice a week.

    I dont personally use a scrub on my face daily, as i find after a few days my skin becomes to stirpped and very red. I would recommend only using a scrub 2 or three times a week to prevent to much damage!
