, SELF’s senior health and beauty editor, goes on the hunt to find the science-backed answers to all of your skin-care questions. You can ask Sarah a question at [email protected].
Of course, having that many options is great, but it also creates the exact type of confusion you’re experiencing. What kind should you actually be using? And how often should you use them? Those with darker skin should also know that any aggressive manual exfoliation can cause post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation , so they should probably opt for chemical exfoliation most of the time.
Regardless of the type of exfoliant, Dr. Hu recommends starting with exfoliating just once a week and seeing how your skin responds. If you can handle more, there’s no problem with going up to two or three times per week. And if you find that once a week is too intense, you can try using a gentler product or reducing the frequency to every other week.
