Exfoliation should be a regular part of your routine. It removes the dull, dry layer of upper skin cells. It makes the texture of the skin look better and it also improves age spots and skin tones as well as it allows efficient serum and moisturizer penetration. The long term benefits will only occur if exfoliation is part of your skincare routine. 

How often you need to exfoliate depends on the skin type:

Oily skin types:

Those with oily skin types can tolerate exfoliation almost daily. However, one of the most common mistakes for those with acne or oily skin is over exfoliation in an attempt to remove oil and unblock pores. This is NOT a good idea. Exfoliation with harsh agents can cause irritation and the acne will remain. If you are suffering from acne, you need to see a medical professional before valuating if exfoliation is suitable for you.

Dry or sensitive skin types:

Should be carried out once or twice per month. 

In any case you may need to experiment with your own skin to find out what it can tolerate with striping the natural oils out of your skin and drying it out.
