As for how to exfoliate there are many options in your hand. First of all, there are chemical peels that are made of alpha or beta hydroxyl, natural fruit enzymes as well as salyic acid. Such a peel will help in increasing circulation by exfoliating the skin and thus reducing acne. Other mechanical methods that will help you to exfoliate include loofahs, facial scrubs and pumice stone.
