It means to rub off all the dead skin cells. It sounds gross, but if you use a face scrub that exfoliates it makes it really smooth and soft.

No, that's not retarded at all...to exfoliate means to rid the skin of dryness, the old top layer of skin cells, revealing what's underneath, fresh, smooth skin. It helps get rid of blackheads and rough skin. You can find several different kinds of exfoliating creams and scrubs at a drug store, I've found the best and cheapest brand is St. Ives Apricot Scrub. It contains finely crushed walnut shells, and it does a fantastic job.
All you have to do is first wash your face with a mild cleanser(or just water if you don't use make-up), then apply small dollops of the scrub on your chin, forehead, and cheekbones. Just massage into skin, using circular motions. Do this for about one minute, making sure to avoid the eye area, then rinse. Voila!
You'll be amazed how soft your skin feels. Apply a little moisturizer also. By using exfoliater and moisturizer regularly, your skin will be fresh all the time, and should stay clear, if you stick to the routine. Consistency is key.
By the way, applying makeup should never take longer than 5 minutes, and if you use concealer instead of foundation, just to even out skin tone, it will take even less time. Use oil-free.
Hope this helps.

Exfoliate means to take dead skin cells away EX: off of your face and legs. Exfoliating helps make the skin softer and if you were to use a self tanner it won't blotch up if u exfoliated first. Im not sure if it actually helps keep the skin clear but it keeps your skin cleaner.

it get's rid of dead skin cells No, that's not retarded at all...to exfoliate means to get rid the skin of dryness, the old top layer of skin cells, revealing what's underneath, fresh, smooth skin. It helps get rid of blackheads and rough skin. another thing even if you don't wear makeup your face attract dirt so it's best to clean with a cleanser not just water and or soap (soap can dry your face)
you don't need to wear any make up but it's always good to take care of your skin and yes if you wash your face and use creams it not only helps your skin stay clear it help with wrinkles too use this one i have been using for 10 years now and i'm 25 now it mary kay the exfoliant i just stared using it since it just came out a while ago but it's good

exfoliate is a facial scrub used to remove dead skin cells that can cause darking of the skin or the image of dirtiness.some exfoliates can prevent break outs and discoloration.

its one of the best products ever made! it takes the dead skin off to make your skin look the brightest it can be and it makes your skin so smooth. exfoliating can take away acne scars you have and it can even out your skin tone.

It means to gently scrub dead skin, oil and makeup off the surface of your skin. This helps keep pores clear.

It removes dead skin, it raises good circulation to the surface, clears the pores, refreshes the skin, and rejuvinates appearance, elasticity, and color balance.
