I had not used any new skincare products (quite rare). I had not changed any part of my routine. I was plodding on as normal, and yet, my skin was going absolutely crackers!<\/p>\n<h3>Skin Over-exfoliation Effects<\/h3>\n<p>What did I experience?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Very dry patches of skin<\/li>\n<li>Rough, bumpy skin<\/li>\n<li>Uneven skin tone<\/li>\n<li>Random breakouts on various parts of my face<\/li>\n<li>Skin that felt like sandpaper<\/li>\n<li>Tough, hardened skin<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Before this, when I went through something similar with irritated skin, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mywomenstuff.com\/2016\/04\/tips-calm-irritated-skin\/\" target=\"_blank\">I pared down my skincare routine and it became better<\/a>. However, that was due to a product that didn&#8217;t agree with my skin. This time, I was stumped! There was absolutely no reason for my skin to go mad!<\/p>\n<p>Ah, but there was. One day, after a month of trying my darnest to figure out what was wrong, I was in the shower (when all inspiration strikes!) and out of the blue, I thought &#8220;Wait a minute, what if it was all my careful ministrations with my facial wash cloth that was causing my skin to go mad? Was I over-exfoliating my skin?!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It turned out I was right. What had happened was that I was using my wash cloth to cleanse off cleansing balm in my first cleanse. However, because the product I was using for my second cleanse was a cream cleanser that felt cleaner being wiped off than rinsed off, I was using it as well for the second cleanse. Although I did not exert pressure while using the cloth, the fact remains that it was performing an exfoliating function. If you use a very soft cloth, perhaps the effects would be mitigated. Mine were terry cloth and I suppose, were just too harsh to use twice at a go.<\/p>\n<p>When I had that thunderbolt of inspiration, I decided to try cutting back, so I only used the wash cloth for my first cleanse, and my hands for the second. I\u00a0also realised that because I don&#8217;t use a lot of makeup anymore these days, nor go out very much, my skin doesn&#8217;t get as dirty as it used to\u00a0before this, and I didn&#8217;t need as\u00a0much cleansing.<\/p>\n<p>The upshot of all this is that within a week, I saw results.\u00a0My skin started to regain its soft, smooth texture that I had before. The sandpaper effect smoothened out, and my skin stopped feeling dry and tough. The random breakouts started to heal, and I now have my skin back to normal.<\/p>\n<h3>How to repair skin that has been over-exfoliated<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16459\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mywomenstuff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/reapir-irritated-skin.jpg\" alt=\"products to repair irritated skin\" width=\"710\" height=\"481\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mywomenstuff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/reapir-irritated-skin.jpg 710w, https:\/\/www.mywomenstuff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/reapir-irritated-skin-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mywomenstuff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/reapir-irritated-skin-20x14.jpg 20w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 710px) 100vw, 710px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Over-exfoliated skin feels raw and often, very dry and sensitive. If you think you might be experiencing something similar &#8211; it could be due to physical or chemical reasons that you are over-exfoliating your skin &#8211; here&#8217;s how I repaired my skin and got it back to normal.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>First off, stop exfoliating.<\/strong> When I realised that it might be to do with my over-zealous exfoliation, I stopped using the wash cloth as much, and I cut out all my chemical exfoliators and toners. My skin was irritated and injured and it needed to repair itself and heal.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Second, be gentle.<\/strong>\u00a0For the first 2 weeks, I picked out my most gentle and soothing products for my skin. This was when I fully appreciated the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mywomenstuff.com\/2016\/06\/tatcha-indigo-soothing-triple-recovery-cream\/\" target=\"_blank\">Tatcha Indigo cream<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mywomenstuff.com\/2016\/05\/la-solution-10-de-chanel-sensitive-skin-cream\/\" target=\"_blank\">Chanel Solution 10 cream<\/a>\u00a0and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mywomenstuff.com\/2015\/03\/ren-v-cense-youth-vitality-day-cream\/\" target=\"_blank\">REN V-Cense day cream<\/a>. They were all I used, alongside the May Lindstrom Blue Cocoon balm and occasionally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mywomenstuff.com\/2015\/06\/pai-skincare-rosehip-bioregenerate-oil\/\" target=\"_blank\">Pai Skincare Rosehip oil<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Third, go back to basics.<\/strong>\u00a0During this time of healing, I only used a face mist (I&#8217;m currently loving the Caudalie Grape Water face mist!) and the creams I mentioned above. No serums, no lotions, no actives, nothing. Just mist and sensitive skin creams and the May Lindstrom Blue Cocoon balm or the Pai Skincare Rosehip Oil at night.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With the tender loving care I gave it, my skin quickly healed, and after about 3 weeks, I&#8217;m now slowly starting to reintroduce my serums back into my routine. I am also now more careful about how I treat my skin.<\/p>\n<p>I always thought I was being super careful and not being too rough with my skin, and yet, something like this could happen to me, simply because I wasn&#8217;t paying enough attention to what I was using and how I was using it. What this teaches us is that we are all different, and that we should pay attention to our skin. We can&#8217;t blindly follow another person&#8217;s skincare routine, just because it works for them. We need to tailor it to suit OUR skin and only WE can do it.<\/p>\n<h4>Have you experienced effects like this on your skin? What did you do to address the problems?<\/h4>\n<p>Honestly, this is the first time I&#8217;m experiencing this. I think it was\u00a0over-zealousness and carelessness on my part, as well as forgetting to observe and listen to my skin. Because I was using less makeup, my skin didn&#8217;t need that much cleansing at the end of the day. I can do with something far more gentle than before. I am glad I worked it out eventually. I&#8217;m now a lot more careful, but you know what? YOU can learn from my mistakes! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n<p>Paris B<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I often come across cautionary warnings to not over-exfoliate the skin, especially when you use something like a facial wash cloth or flannel to help cleanse your skin, or an exfoliating toner.
