It's generally recommended that girls start exfoliating during their teenage years, around the age of 17, when they experience hormonal changes that can lead to acne. However, there's no strict rule, and the best age to start depends on individual skin types and conditions.
Here's a breakdown of factors to consider:
- Acne: If you experience breakouts, exfoliation can help unclog pores and prevent further blemishes.
- Dullness: As dead skin cells accumulate, your skin can appear dull. Exfoliating helps remove these cells, revealing brighter skin.
- Skin Type: Oily skin may benefit from more frequent exfoliation, while dry skin might require gentler exfoliation or less frequent use.
Remember to choose gentle exfoliating products and start slowly, gradually increasing frequency as your skin adjusts. Consult a dermatologist for personalized advice based on your specific needs.
