To Exfoliate or not to Exfoliate...

I agree with the others, exfoliating is too harsh for people with acne becasue it irritates and aggravates it. I use AHA's (Alpha Hydrox Soufle) to exfoliate my acne prone skin and I've had much better results that when I was using a scrub.

u can get the st. ives clay mask at most drugstores or walmart. i remember it was very cheap like $4 and a tube of it will last about a year. i love clay masks and this was deffinately the best one. i think its for all skin types. i hope u like it if u deside to give it a try

Wow! I've never heard of spreading bacteria by exfoliating when one has acne either! See, you learn something new everyday!

I exfoliate regularly. I think it's important to remove dead skin cells. I'm also in my early forties though, and I think it becomes even more important to do as we age.
