What Is Exfoliation, and How Much Is Too Much?

Removing the dull, dead cells at the very surface of skin, either with a physical scrub or a chemical acid.

On the label

Scrubs, acids, enzymes and peels. Anything described as resurfacing, polishing or renewing.

What it does not mean

It does not mean daily. Most skin looks best exfoliated once to three times a week, and never on a night it is rolled.
