How should I exfoliate in winter?

I do it once a week

How can I be less irritating to my skin in the winter?

I think I need to manage it differently than in the summer.

Or would it be okay to just do it once a week like I usually do? I have dry skin.

And something like a peeling gel would be less irritating.

I need to buy it again soon, but I'm interested in the gel version.
