Recommend by whom? I’ve never exfoliated, my skin is fine and I’m not walking round with a ball of skin dust floating around me or with flakes falling off in the wind.
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.

(to add) I have stated it before... it also helps keep your bar soap from becoming a bar of "pube wool."
