It depends on your skin. I have to do it every day otherwise my skin gets really flakey and peels small amounts in some spots...but that's because my skin is extremely dry. It's safe to do it everyday, but if you have sensitive skin then stick to every 2 or 3 days or even just once a week. Your skin sheds everyday, so it's normal to help slough it off.
The scrub I use everyday is a medicated apricot scrub and it's a bit gentle. I do a harsher scrub only once a week, it's a sugar and honey mix, equal parts of each, and it works really great!

For most skin types 1-2 times a week is enough. It also depends on the type of exfoliant that you are using. There are some that you can use everyday. Others can only be used twice a week. I would see what the product line suggests for your skin type.

I exfoliate 4 times a week with St. Ives original Apricot Scrub, and follow with a daytime moisturizer like Oil of Olay. I get compliments on how nice my skin looks! =) Exfoliation is so good for your skin and keeps it looking young and glowing.

You should exfoliate 2-3 times a week. For example, Monday morning, Wednesday Morning, and Friday Morning. Or maybe just, Monday Morning and than Friday Morning. You be the judge...it's your skin.

I use a really gentle exfoliant (St Ives for Sensitive Skin) maybe once a week. Every day though, I wash my face using Dove and a washcloth...it sounds very cheap but hey, it keeps my skin soft.

Its depend on wat exfoliate u using... u can scrub everyday by using the mild one... normal exfoliate once a week should be ok... make sure u apply moisturiser after exfoliating cos too much exfoliate wil dry out ur skin.

Only once in my whole life. Don't see the need at all. I look at my mom and some friends her age - they never did this and they still have good skin. Just like a lot of other things - taking supplements, etc. which they don't do and they're still healthy .... nutritionists will have a hard time trying to convince me.

For dry skin once a week, for combination skin about twice a week, and for oily skin every other day
