Q my husband has destroyed his skin and now he’s asking for a routine. He has oily skin and for some reason he’s decided that exfoliating with an Italy cloth on his face is the way to go. When I got him to stop that he started being incredibly rough and aggressive with exfoliating scrub. He’s got areas that are inflamed and then a couple of days after whatever exfoliating he has done his face is oily in some areas and flaky and angry in others.

I finally found that he will use a gel moisturizer but this has gone past just moisturizing. He’s not going to do more than three or four steps and I honestly am just in over my head here. Oh and no he won’t see a derm at this point because he hates doctors. I just want to help him get back to a normal baseline for his skin.

He likes exfoliating but I’m thinking perhaps chemical rather than manual at this point?
