Hey girls! So I always hear beauty girls talking about exfoliating their skin but I don't understand what it is. So my questions are what is skin exfoliating? How is it done? How does it help your skin? How often should it be done? What products do you need to do it? I'll really appreciate anyone who explains it for me. Thank you so much girls! I hope you're all having an awesome day! Xoxo- Amanda.

Exfoliating your skin helps to slough off the layer of dead skin cells that tend to make your skin dull looking and it just overall helps you and your skin.

Well exfoliation is removing dead skin cells. It can be physical or chemical. Physical would be like using a face scrub, which has grains in it that buff off dead skin. Do not used a exfoliator with sharp grains, like apricot shells. Use scrubs with round, small beads which are gentler.
Chemical exfoliation used enzymes, sphahydroxy acids (AHAs) or betahydroxy acids (BHAS) which loosen the glue-like substance that holds the cells together, allowing them to slough away. Facial peels are a form of chemical exfoliation. Hope this helps:)

Exfoliation can be done daily to once a week. It depends. Some face cleansers for example say for daily use. But some people say daily exfoliation can irritate the skin.
