So my skin is the definition of combination. Oily in my t-zone, dry on my cheeks. How many times a week should I exfoliate my face? Someone told me just once a week but that doesn't sound right. Also how many times should I exfoliate my body a week? I'm using the Lush Ocean Salt Exfoliating Scrub.

Once a week is correct, twice a week is acceptable too. Every other day is definitely way too often. When you exfoliate you're buffing away dead skin cells and if you do it too often you're just going to damage healthy skin cells. Use a separate face scrub instead of a body scrub on your face.

What about when it comes to the st Ives scrub for your face?

Which St. Ives scrub is it? The apricot one is too harsh for the skin.

That's fine, just use it once or twice a week.

Once or twice a week at the most! Otherwise you'll risk damaging your skin. Be sure to moisturise well afterwards, too!
