If you have sensitive skin, i advised you not too exfoliate your skin too often (maybe once a week) . If you have normal skin texture , oily or dry maybe can exfoliate more often maybe 2-3 times a week. All and all it depends on the products that you are using, refer to the product instruction.

For me i exfoliate twice a week because dead skin cells wont accumulate everyday, it takes time to build up on the face.

Since I am not a spring chicken anymore, I started using AHA products a couple of years ago. I alternate just a regular AHA wash with a scrub every couple of days. The AHA product is also an exfoliant because it contains acid. I also wear an AHA moisturizer while I sleep. So basically, I exfoliate my face daily.

For my body, I do it 3 or 4 times a week. Since I have a gazillion bath goodies, I sometimes use a scrub, and sometimes use something else, like an exfoliating brush. I also do dry brushing, which is a really good type of exfoliating, but my brush wore out and I haven't found a good replacement yet.

And after I exfoliate, I moisturize from my hairline all the way to the tips of my toes. My husband keeps complaining that if I put one more thing in the shower he won't be able to get in there, but I figure a woman's gotta do what a woman's gotta do.

If you are new to exfoliating, I don't recommend you do it every day, as that can irritate your skin. Start off slowly, like once or twice a week, and if your skin can handle that without drying out or getting too tender, you can move to doing it more often. For people who are starting out, I really recommend the St. Ives Apricot scrubs. Use a coarser one on your body, and a gentler one on your face.

Good luck!

Oh! Almost forgot. I do the heels and rough spots on my feet daily while I am in the shower. That keeps the nasty callouses away, and that way the poor girl who does my pedicures doesn't have to spend hours exfoliating. Just get yourself a decent foot file and use it in the shower for a few minutes every day, and you will have nice soft tootsies.

My face once a week.
My body 3 - 4 times a week.
I follow this routine, in order to keep my skin soft, smooth and young looking. After exfoliating I always moisturize.

First I do an acid peel, and then I exfoliate and then moisturize my skin. I guess I do it about four times a week. My skin is pretty good.

I exfoliate three to four times a week. My pores have stayed clear this way. However, if you are using a deep/harsh exfoliate, I would only use it once weekly.

About once or twice a week. My skin is too sensitive to be doing that everyday. I guess it just depends on your skin type.

Once a day because I have oily skin.
Depends on your skin type.
