Exfoliating means getting rid of dead skin cells which should be done weekly! This all natural one works for ladies and gents...
Exfoliation is great for keeping skin soft, smooth and healthy.
It basically means getting rid of dead skin cells which should be done weekly (at the very least), this helps keep the skin healthy. Exfoliation can also be done daily provided the product used are mild enough to be used daily.
Exfoliation should also not be overdone as this could strip the skin of essentials, irritate it amongst others so it's best to keep it minimal (once a week is fine).
Facial scrubs are available from different brands for exfoliation, some are mild enough to be used often while some once in a while. Note that it's best to choose one that works best for varying skintypes.
