Skin exfoliation: A naturally occurring physiological process whereby dead surface skin cells, naturally slough off, and reveal new skin cells.
However, although a natural process, this process can sometimes need assistance AND is almost always improved with assistance.
Natural skin exfoliation sometimes needs assistance.
For example, when the skin type is oily, the skin has difficulty exfoliating or sloughing off the dead skin cells, due to the sticky nature of oil.
When the skin type is dry, dead skin accumulates quickly creating a dull appearance to the skin, in addition to, inhibiting effective natural skin exfoliation and needed moisture absorption.
Unless you have exceptionally sensitive skin, very mature skin, or a skin disorder of some kind, you will benefit greatly from regular skin exfoliation, but in your case you don't need it.
