Exfoliation in cosmetology is a cosmetic technique aimed at removing dead skin cells from the face and body. Removing excess dead skin cells is reasoned to reveal younger and healthier looking skin underneath.
Exfoliation can be achieved through mechanical methods such as micro-bead face scrubs to abrasive cloths and also by chemical methods. Salicylic (BHA) and Glycolic acid (AHA) can be applied as chemical peels by a physician or dermatologist to aid rejuvenation of the skin and other conditions such as acne. Both acids can also be found in lower concentrations in over the counter products.
Every day usage of the term commonly implies the day to day routine of skin care. The cosmetic procedures Dermabrasion and Microdermabrasion are both extreme cases of exfoliation where the surface layer of skin is removed by sanding.

To exfoliate means, to remove dead skin cells from your face or body. Either chemically (with a cream/lotion) or manually (with a rough cloth/sponge/etc.)

It removes the outer layer or dead skin cells, leaving you with healthy, clean, and even glowing skin. Try it! My favorite is Origins Salt Scrub. You will LOVE it!

It means you use an abrasive to scrub your skin. Don't use anything that isn't made for your skin, though. You can use a rough washcloth to gently scrub your skin. It sloughs off dead skin cells and promotes blood flow to your face for a healthy glow.

It means removing the top layer of dead skin cells using primarily soap, creams or mechanical means like pumice stones.
