I have quite sensitive skin which is prone to dryness - and I'm a fan of Simple products as they never irritate my skin. However, at the moment my skin is becoming quite oily - especially on my forehead - and I'm getting quite a few spots.
The only cleansers Simple do for oily skin are exfoliating washes - but is exfoliating my skin every day good for it, especially with it being sensitive?
Thanks!Is exfoliating every day good for the skin?
no...if you exfoliate every day it actually breaks down the collagen in the skin. it ages your skin faster that way.
I limit that to every other day in the shower.
exfolation doesn't offer much as a remedy for oily skin...it actually stimulates the skin to produce more oil, making it worse.
I assume that you're from the UK. in the states they have facial products called ';Clean and Clear';. if you have that over there, use this blackhead reducing toner. it works miracles for oily skin. maybe this skincare line (simple I think) has a toner. you should check it out.Is exfoliating every day good for the skin?
Exfoliating is important for every skin, however a manual exfoliation (beads) can be too aggressive as sensitive skin doesn't have the same barrier that keeps the skin from being irritated. I recommend using a glycolic face wash instead with a baby cloth. The best I've ever use is Natura E glycolic wash but DDF also has a glycolic wash as well. Also you can always use something on a daily basis with salicylic in it. The total turnaround oil free concentrate from Clinique is supposed to be amazing for acne. Make sure you talk to the professional at the counter on how to use it as you have to put it over top of your moisturizer. Also don't buy into their crap about the 3 step system, the only thing you'll want from the line are the oil free dramatically different lotion and the total turnaround. 3 step is a bit too harsh for a sensitive skin and you definitely don't want the 7 day scrub.
Exfoliating every day is a little to much, however 2-3 times a week is ideal.
If you have oily/sensitive skin, There's a facial scrub I use that works great! It's good for all skin types, but not very abrasive at all it's very light so it's good for sensitive skin it will not irritate it, it will also help with oily skin. It's an oatmeal face scrub that is an all natural, no chemical or paraben product based from Thailand (I use most of their product, it's great!!!)
Also to help with the excess oils you should try a mask 2-3 times a week as well, The clay mask from this collection works wonders. It absorbs the toxins and dirt that's embedded in your pores, as well as the excess oils. And the rice bran oil that's in it as well, helps moisturize the skin, but to keep it balanced. So it will help with the dryness as well as the oil.

exfoliating too much is bad for you skin, it removes natural oils from your skin that are actually good for you. If you do happen to have alot of oil you should exfoliate about twice a week -especially if you have sensitive skin-.[if you like simple organic products and have sensitive skin you should really try Origins products you can find them at Macy's -plus they have a great exfoliants-
Only light exfoliation, harsh exfoliation or chemicals will cause your skin to break out or become more oily. Exfoliation can be good for your skin because it removes all dead skin cells and such, but too much irritates the skin even more :( Since your skin is so sensitive, try doing it every other day or less if you notice flare ups in acne/oiliness.
Do wash ur face with cold water in the morning n at night b4 going to bed,paying too much attention on ur face will get it worst, i dnt know if girls like to use GILLETTE. i used to av an oily face bt wen i started using the face wash+body wash oil control i no more av an oily
depends on your skin type, how dirty and oil your skin is/ how dry it is, and the strength of the exfoliator.
find an exfoliator for your skin type and use acording to the directions.
if your still worried than talk to a doctor/ dermatologist
good luck!!!

no, you shouldnt exfoliate daily! You need a good oil free moisturizer. I know you're a fan of one product but I started using aveeno moisturizer with soy complex and it is SO wonderful. Not greasy and REALLY keeps your skin moist.

no exfoliation every day is not good. you should do it around 2-3 times a week, less on your face.
2-3 times a week would be gooooood.
