2. How Often Should You Exfoliate Your Face?

The next step within your routine should be exfoliating. And, as so many Glossies ask themselves if they are doing it right or if they should be doing it more often, we’re here to help! The ideal usage of an exfoliator is twice a week (preferably at night too). Any more frequent and you might be causing more harm to your complexion than good!

Want to know our favourite exfoliator right now? We currently love The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution which you can get for less than £7. 

Why The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution Works
