Here's how you can treat your over-exfoliated skin

Skin exfoliation is as essential as other skincare regimes like cleansing and moisturising.
But too much of anything can never do good to anyone, hence, one or twice a week is enough.

Overdoing it can lead to redness, dry skin, rough patches, skin irritation and rashes.

Here's how you can treat over-exfoliated skin

• The first thing you should do is stop exfoliating your skin immediately
• Applying an ice cube to your irritated skin can bring you some relief
• Stop using products like foaming cleansers, retinol or anti-aging or anti-acne creams
• Apply aloe vera extract to reduce redness and irritation
• Use gentle moisturisers and chemical-free products
• Restrain from makeup till the irritation subsides

Pro tip: Choose an exfoliant as per your skin type and always do a patch test before using any product.
