Besides cleansing, what is another key benefit of exfoliation?

  1. Drawing out impurities

  2. Softening the follicles

  3. Increasing circulation

  4. Tightening the skin

The correct answer is: Drawing out impurities

Exfoliation not only removes dead skin cells to reveal smoother and brighter skin but also helps in drawing out impurities such as dirt, oil, and debris from the pores. This can prevent breakouts and improve the overall health and appearance of the skin. While the other options may have some benefits to the skin, drawing out impurities is a key benefit specifically attributed to exfoliation in skincare routines.
