Do you think there is no harm in using scrub on face 3x a week to exfoliate? If it is not good, what is the best for face exfoliation?

The reason why you SHOULDNT use a scrub more than 2X a week is because it takes longer than a day for you skin to produce dead cells to scrub off. Simple as that.
When you are scrubbing everyday, you are not scrubbing dead cells off like you are supposed to, but irritating your skin. It might feel good, but it is killing you skin and you will notice the effects later.
Exfoliating 1X or 2X a week will be more beneficial and will make y ou look better...you have to be patient. Also, plain old Apricot scrub (St. Ives or generic) works fine. LOoreal makes a microsermabrasion kit that is nice to use once a week.
I hope that makes sense...its simple. You exfoliate to remove dead skin cells and you body generates dead skin cells over the course of days not hours. Exfoliating everyday defeats that purpose.
P.S. Exfoliating every day DOES NOT prevent dead cells from forming...it ust irritates and leaves your skin more vunerable.

I use a facial scrub whenever I feel I need it, which can sometimes be 4-5 times a week. If you use a gentle scrub, I don't see any harm in doing so. My skin looks and feels so much better after I exfoliate. So I say you should be fine.

I use a scrub daily. As long as you use a gentle scrub, I don't think there is a problem. You want to stay away from harsher scrubs if you use them often. Also, a product that I keep recommending because my skin feels so smooth afterwards is Clinique's 15 minute facial. I use it once a week and leave it on for 30 minutes actually. Afterwards my skin feels soft and smooth. The scrub that I use is Nivea, it's a gentle cleansing cream with small microbeads. If your skin is sensitive, you will have to back off using scrubs so frequently, but if your skin is strong, you should be able to tolerate it.

Baking soda is very mild and good to use every day.
I used to use Dove Exfoliating Face Wash daily, but it's not as good as the baking soda.

You should use it once or twice a week if you use it too much your skin will lose its glow.

As long as it doesn't exceed every other day, its fine.
