QuestionDo I moisturize after exfoliating?Community AnswerYes, ideally you should wash, exfoliate, and moisturize, in that order.

QuestionShould I exfoliate with oil and sugar if I have oily skin?Community AnswerAll skin needs oil. If you have extremely oily skin, you'll want to use a face wash that has more alcohol content (to dry out the skin) before doing this. Don't use too much olive oil, either. Before exfoliating, put a hot or warm rag over your face to open your pores, wash with warm water, and then place a cool or cold rag over your face to close your pores. Then do the exfoliating process and rinse with lukewarm water. After that, once again set the cool/cold rag on your face to close your pores again.
