This process encourages and stimulates the formation of new skin cells. A wash cloth, sloughing sponge, loofah or scrubbing product, such as washing grains, scrub cleansers or sloughing cleansers, remove the excess oil that can clog pores and improve circulation, giving the skin a rosy glow.

Ingredients, such as alpha hydroxy acids, also work to exfoliate the skin without scrubbing.
