For example, if you find your skin looks dull in the morning,\r\nexfoliating before you start your day may be beneficial. On the other hand,\r\nexfoliating at night can help remove any lingering makeup or other debris. If\r\nyou use a medicated product for a skin condition, you should space out the time\r\nbetween that product and exfoliating. Avoid exfoliating if you have cuts or\r\nopen sores on your skin.<\/span><\/p><span style=\"font-family: "Times New Roman";\">\r\n\r\n<\/span><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: "Times New Roman";\">How often should I exfoliate?<\/span><\/p><span style=\"font-family: "Times New Roman";\">\r\n\r\n<\/span><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: "Times New Roman";\">If you have oily skin, you can exfoliate as often as needed.\r\nThis may be daily, every other day, or less frequent. For all other skin types,\r\nyou should limit at-home exfoliating to once or twice a week.<\/span><\/p><span style=\"font-family: "Times New Roman";\">\r\n\r\n<\/span><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: "Times New Roman";\">What do I do if I have a bad reaction?<\/span><\/p><span style=\"font-family: "Times New Roman";\">\r\n\r\n<\/span><p class=\"MsoNormal\"> <span style=\"font-family: "Times New Roman";\">If possible, wash the offending product from your skin using\r\nroom temperature water and mild cleanser. You should avoid using makeup or\r\nother products on the area until the irritation clears. Taking an OTC\r\nantihistamine may help relieve redness and itching. Seek emergency medical\r\nattention if you begin to experience severe symptoms of allergic reaction. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 1rem;\">This\r\nincludes:<\/span><br><\/p><span style=\"font-family: "Times New Roman";\">\r\n\r\n<\/span><p class=\"MsoNormal\"> <span style=\"color:#231F20\"><span style=\"font-family: "Times New Roman";\">Shortness of breath<\/span> <\/span><span style=\"font-family: "Times New Roman"; color: rgb(35, 31, 32); font-size: 1rem;\">tongue, throat, or facial\r\nswelling <\/span><span style=\"font-family: "Times New Roman"; color: rgb(35, 31, 32); font-size: 1rem;\">tightness in your lungs<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\"> <\/span><span style=\"font-family: "Times New Roman"; color: rgb(35, 31, 32); font-size: 1rem;\">chest pain<\/span><\/p><span style=\"font-family: "Times New Roman";\">\r\n\r\n<\/span><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: "Times New Roman";\">What\u2019s the deal with micro beads?<\/span><\/p><span style=\"font-family: "Times New Roman";\">\r\n\r\n<\/span><p class=\"MsoNormal\"> <span style=\"font-family: "Times New Roman";\">Micro beads used to be a staple ingredient in exfoliating\r\nscrubs.
