  intro: "Most exfoliation problems are not ingredient problems. They are frequency problems. The daily scrub that leaves arms red is not proving efficacy — it is stripping faster than the barrier can recover. The lactic acid lotion applied every night that causes peeling has not stopped working; it has started working against the skin. Frequency and timing sit above product choice in almost every case. A body scrub used once a week on normal skin produces a better result than the same scrub used every day. A chemical exfoliant left to accumulate on the skin without a rest week is doing less, not more. This page covers everything we have published on when to exfoliate — broken down by method, skin type, and season. Read it before you add anything to the routine.",

  defn: {
    h: "What frequency actually controls — and what it doesn't",
    body: "How often you exfoliate governs how much recovery time the barrier gets between sessions. The surface layer of skin — the stratum corneum — is a functional barrier, not dead weight waiting to be removed. Aggressive or over-frequent removal strips this layer before it is ready, triggering tightness, redness, and a compensatory oil response that makes skin look and feel worse. The right cadence depends on the method: a daily-use acid lotion is formulated at low strength specifically to be used every day; a physical scrub is not. A biweekly mask adds a slow-contact session to a routine, not a daily one. Getting the frequency right is the difference between an ingredient working and the same ingredient becoming the problem.",
  },
  myths: [
    { m: "More frequent exfoliation means faster results.",
      t: "Exfoliation removes the ready surface layer. The layer underneath needs time to mature before it becomes the new surface. Forcing the cycle faster than the skin's own pace leaves the barrier thin and reactive, not smooth." },
    { m: "If skin is rough or bumpy, exfoliate more often.",
      t: "Persistent texture is often a sign of barrier disruption, not insufficient exfoliation. Adding frequency to already-irritated skin compounds the problem. Ease back, moisturise, and restart on a slower cadence." },
    { m: "A rest week means the routine has stopped working.",
      t: "A deliberately low-exfoliation week every four to six weeks is part of an effective long-term routine, not a pause. The barrier consolidates and the skin's response to actives resets during that window." },
