Can you use a face wash that exfoliates the skin 2 months after finishing accutane?

is it ok to do this, because I know you shouldn't while taking accutaneCan you use a face wash that exfoliates the skin 2 months after finishing accutane?
Hmm...good question. I wouldn't use a face wash that exfoliates. They tend to be pretty harsh on skin and would be even worse on skin that underwent accutane treatment! Instead use a more gentle exfoliater A more natural one as well...baking soda. If you have any, rub honey on your face (honey is very moisturizing and will provide moisture to your dried out skin...I assume your skin is dried out due to the accutane) after you rinse it with water. It won't be sticky...don't worry! Then just rub a handful of baking soda on top of it. You'll feel the grittyness of it, but it won't hurt your sensitive skin. Just rinse it off with warm water and put your moisturizer on. You only need to do it once or twice a week. Just use your normal cleanser the rest of the week.
