I did make the mistake of vigorously exfoliation my skin, followed by epilating, followed by another vigorous exfoliation, and I basically rubbed my skin raw. Parts of my stomach and chest are still healing from that fiasco.

You probably already figured this out, but don't exfoliate the day before you epilate. I alternate exfoliate & moisturize every other day and skip both on days I epilate.
