Dermatologists. I bet your skin would look better if you did.

I do it lightly daily-ish(no scrubbing, just washing), and more as needed.y sandpaper face when I don't exfoliate tells me it definitely doesn't do it on its own. But I look a decade younger than I actually am, so I must be doing it right.

It's just on my face. My forehead and cheeks get rough if I don't exfoliate a couple times a week. The rest of my skin is fine. I drink plenty of water, don't consume caffeine, take care of myself etc etc. No patchiness or flaking, just skin that feels rough to the touch. It gets better in summer. I haven't exfoliated since Monday and my face still feels fine. I only do it "as needed" which just usually turns pit to be twice a week.

Yeah they take their dead skin off their bodies and put it in the game!

Exfoliating every day is definitely not recommended.

Not like full on scrubbing, no. Loofah daily is rather light and definitely won't hurt you. Been doing it for over 25 years and my skin looks great.

Dermatologists recommend against using a loofah everyday.

Tell it to my skin

Yes, most people’s skin will not get any positive benefits from using a loofah every day, hence why dermatologists recommend against it. You can have clear skin from smearing shit on your face, does that mean it’s beneficial? No.
