idk much about skincare but I’ve learned that I should be exfoliating, especially to prevent razor bumps which I get a lot of around my chin

but there’s a lot of different types of exfoliating products out there and I find it a bit overwhelming, so what should I be using to prevent skin irritation from shaving?

    interesting, I didn’t know about the cloths, I have seen exfoliating brushes which is a similar idea I guess. I don’t exactly have money so I don’t wanna go crazy with expensive products so I should probably try physically exfoliating first

      So generally physical abrasives on your face are less then ideal. Facial skin is far thinner and prone to damage then the rest of your body. I generally use whatever cheap chemical cleansing exfoliator product. AFAIK as long as it has salicylic acid in it your good to go. Just remember to use a moisturizer after cleansing as well as after shaving

      Exfoliating and moisturizing the rest of your body is generally a good idea too and can feel free to use a physical abrasive . wash clothes, salux cloth, African netting thing are all perfectly fine just less so for your face.
