Does Exfoliation Result In Bleaching? by danthamccoy(m): 6:49pm On May 04, 2016
Been considering using exfoliation to help treat my acne but someone told me it results in bleached skin. Or "lightening" as she says. Seen something like that online too. Is this true? I'd really appreciate replies.

Exfoliation, I think, clears dead cells/make-up/dirts from the skin surface, which would normally make you look darker, but I dont think it 'bleaches' one, as in bleaching.

Exfoliating especially using a scrub can worsen your acne....
Just make sure your face stays clean, wash thoroughly and clean with a face towel (i prefer tissue cos of less oil and dirt).
Exfoliating doesn't lighten your skin really, it just sloughs off dead cells that make your face look dull.
