Scrubbing is a form of exfoliation but you can exfoliate your skin in different ways. many products contain alpha hydroxy acids, often found in fruits, which help remove the outer layer of your skin revealing smoother skin underneath. that is essentially what exfoliation is and it involves zero scrubbing. some natural examples of ahas (alpha hydroxy acids) are witch hazel, apple cider vinegar, tea tree oil, salicylic acid, lactic acid, etc.

Agree with alessia!
you can try lemon honey sugar scrub for exfoliation or try using face washes n face creams containing AHA's.In India you get AHAglow face wash which contains glycolic acid.I use it and its very good.
