I have recently been exfoliating my face everyday for a week and I am experiencing excessive dryness and burning irritations. Could my loofah be causing this problem? and should I only exfoliate like twice a week?Exfoliating face with a loofah everyday?
I recently heard that loofahs hold bacteria and should not be used at all... let alone on the face... I love mine but apparently they are a breeding ground for all sorts of nasties! I have also heard that you shouldn't exfoliate your face more than twice a week, because it can cause your skin to become irritated... and probably is causing the excessive dryness, %26amp; burning. I would definitely recommend cutting back on the exfoliating and use a more gentle face wash on the other days. Also you want to make sure you have a good exfoliating wash. some look like little shards of glass under a microscope!Exfoliating face with a loofah everyday?
You're only supposed to be exfoliating once a week. Now that your skin is dry and burning put some sensitive moisturiser and let the skin repair.
you arnt supposed to exfoliate more than once a week
You can over-exfoliate your skin...and if you are doing it everyday,then i guess thats the case.Its not the loofah.You should limit it to once a week actually.And if you feel thats not enough,then you can use another face mask or smtg to deep cleanse instead and exfoliate once.
Yes, Yes! A loofah is probably going to be a little too much for your face - that kind of abrasive exfoliation should only be done at most 2 times a week, otherwise you're taking off too many layers of skin %26amp; your body has a hard time catching up.
You should probably go with an at-home microdermabrasion set instead of a loofah - Mary Kay has a great one that comes with a soothing gel/cream for after the exfoliation. It helps soften %26amp; replenish your skin.
If you know a Mary Kay consultant, ask them about it - you can even try a free sample.

yeah it's definately the loofah!...
using loofahs and scrubs on a daily basis
are a big no-no! try once a week and if u think it'll work, two times a weeks... and maybe you should get a good face lotion, like that oil of olay one. %26lt;3
Exfoliate daily but use the loofah once or twice a week
do not use a loofah on your face, it is too abrasive for the skin on your face, and second loofahs tend to hold alot of germs and bacteria which can lead to bigger problems. For the irritated skin try to keep it as dry as possible. wash once a day and use a non scented mosturizer%26gt; Oil of Olay sensitive skin formula works really well. try to keep your face as dry as possible and after it gets better try to only exfoliate once a week otherwise you may be damaging the delicate skin on your \face.
no dont use the loofah everyday, not even on your face my dear.. it will rub your facial skin too much.. just use a soft facial sponge for the face once a week to remove embedded oil and dirt, and the loofah on your body also once a week ok? now since your face is irritated now, rest it for 2 weeks before exfoliating again..
