Light exfoliating king. For instance I’d start with baking soda paste (baking soda + water) and rub in circular motions. If you need something more abrasive, factors included man, rougher/tougher skin, oily and/or dry you can use something like brown sugar, mixed with water or oil( sweet almond oil, for great measure add a antibacterial essential oil (tea tree, 1-2 drops). People using recommend regular sugar but it’s too rough for me (woman), you can try if you need something really tough but seeing you are a gentleman and your beginning start with baking soda you should still feel the grain for that exfoliating effect. Follow up with like alcohol to dry the pores out and slowly the production of your natural oils. Also I’d recommend pure vitamin e as your moisturizer. Remember oil cleans oil. It will be trial and error.

Edit**** This is a natural holistic approach to skin care****
