Exfoliation or scrubbing helps remove dead skin cells from your skin surface. It also helps avoid clogged pores and facilitates collagen production. Removing the dead skin cells also ensures that there is better absorption of the face products.
This results in smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin, which is less susceptible to breakouts.
You do not have to get a face scrub from a cosmetic shop; you can make one at home using readily available ingredients.
