skin exfoliation

Buffing away flakes

Skin exfoliation is the removal of dead cells from the skin's outer layer, whether through abrasive scrubs, chemical peels, or brushes.

The process aims to reveal fresher skin beneath and improve texture: Weekly exfoliation keeps my face from looking dull.

The skin naturally sheds dead cells, but exfoliation accelerates the process.
