exfoliated
Removed dead cells
Exfoliated describes something that has had its outer layer removed or shed.
Skin is exfoliated by scrubbing away dead cells: Her face looked fresh after she exfoliated.
Rocks exfoliate when surface layers flake off from weathering.
The word applies to anything that peels away in thin sheets or scales.
