Brilio.net - Exfoliation is a treatment to remove dead skin cells and dirt stuck to the surface of the skin. The benefits of exfoliation if done regularly can make facial skin cleaner and brighter, as well as increasing the effectiveness of skin care products.
Usually, facial exfoliation only needs to be done 1-2 times a week. If done too often, instead of bringing benefits, facial skin can actually experience damage. This condition is called over-exfoliating. Over-exfoliating often occurs in people who don't understand how it works and the ideal quantity of exfoliation to do.
Some signs that the skin is over-exfoliating are redness, peeling, dry to scaly, acne appearing, and becoming more sensitive. Not only that, skin that looks too glowing to the point of dryness can also be a sign that the skin is experiencing over-exfoliation. This condition can be a sign that the cells and natural oils in the skin are being lost.

So, after he found out the cause of his face breaking out, Mput decided to take care of his face using just basic skincare. Slowly he stopped using exfoliating skincare and only used basic skincare, such as facial cleanser, toner, moisturizer and sunscreen.
Mput tries to find basic skincare products that can help repair the skin barrier. Ultimately, his efforts were not in vain. Over time, her face became healthy again, the redness and acne also reduced, and her face even became more supple and moisturized.

From his story, Mput also revealed that if you want to treat an over-exfoliated face, make sure to focus on basic skincare only. Apart from that, so that your skin condition improves quickly, combine it with a healthy lifestyle, such as consuming nutritious foods high in vitamins.
"As long as the skin barrier improves, whether it's exfo, retinol, etc. it's still safe. A healthy skin barrier allows other skincare to work optimally on your skin, guys," concluded Mput.
