How Often Should You Exfoliate? The Glow Routine Guide


Exfoliation: The Ritual Your Skin Deserves


Exfoliation is one of the most important (yet misunderstood) steps in skincare.
Do it too little — and your glow stays hidden under layers of dead skin.
Do it too much — and you risk stripping your barrier and causing irritation.

So, how do you get it just right?

Let’s break down the perfect glow ritual with Cleopatra’s Secret Blue Moon Skin Polish — so your skin feels renewed, not raw.

📅 The Ideal Frequency: 2–3x a Week


That’s the sweet spot.

Using our skin polish two to three times a week allows:
• Dead skin cells to shed naturally
• Hydration and glow to rebuild between uses
• Active ingredients like glycolic acid and Nila powder to work their magic without overdoing it

Exfoliation should be part of your ritual, not your daily routine.



Signs You’re Over-Exfoliating:

• Tightness or stinging
• Red patches or inflammation
• Flaky or dry areas around the nose or cheeks
• Skin that feels “too clean” — like it squeaks

These are signals to pause and let your skin recover.

With our Blue Moon Skin Polish, the creamy base of Shea Butter and Glycerin helps prevent this — but balance is still key.
Build the Glow Routine:
Day 1
Exfoliate + glow with Blue Moon Polish
Day 2
Hydrate & moisturize
Day 3
Exfoliate again for a brighter tone
Day 4–5
Let your skin rest (no scrubbing)
Day 6
Final polish before the weekend glow-up

 How to Use It Properly:

1. Always start with damp skin
2. Massage gently in circular motions
3. Emulsify with water to activate the foam
4. Rinse off completely
5. Follow with a hydrating serum or moisturizer

🗓 Repeat 2–3x weekly, depending on your skin type

 Ritual Over Rush

Think of exfoliation as a sacred reset — not a quick fix.
Cleopatra’s Secret Blue Moon Skin Polish is formulated to honor your skin’s pace, not overwhelm it.

Consistency + care = the glow you’re craving.
