Is it okay to use an African net sponge everyday? I feel like maybe it's over exfoliating because I do tend to really scrub myself ? What do you guys think and what are some gentler yet effective alternatives for everyday use ? I love it but I don't want to be causing harm to my skin with it everyday.

Ever since my last year of highschool till my current second year into university my sleep schedule has been wrecked. For 2 nights I have gotten no sleep at all and it's the first time in my life that I have experienced it. I go to sleep late in the mornings and wake up in the afternoons day to day when im not going anywhere but now I just can't seem to sleep at all. No matter what I do. Im feeling the effects and I don't want it to carry on as I know it's very unhealthy

Please help me get my sleep on track

I have dry dull skin and I use dove soap on most days and maybe an antibacterial or lux soap once or twice a week and an African net sponge everyday. I scrub a lot with it and I feel maybe that's the root cause of the dryness in my skin as I'm over exfoliating. If that's thats the case what should I use to clean my body that's gentler for everyday use and I can use the African net sponge a few times a week instead of everyday. I don't like loofas because of how they harbour bacteria and also not a fan of washcloths. What can I use ?

Thanks in advance

Edit: sorry guys I think I worded it wrong. I don't think the soaps or anything are an issue I'm mostly referring to the tool like African net sponge, exfoliating gloves loofahs etc. which tool would be best for everyday use and should I just use the net sponge a few times a week
