"L'exfoliation consiste à éliminer les cellules mortes de la surface de votre peau, à l'aide d'une substance chimique, granuleuse ou d'un outil d'exfoliation", explique le chirurgien plasticien Dr Osman Bashir Tahir1. "Votre peau perd naturellement des cellules mortes, mais elle n'arrive pas toujours à s'en débarrasser complètement."

From the age of 50 I went to the doctor to ask what the crusty spots were coming through the skin I was told they were senile Watts warts and not to worry about them well I am now 86 and I still have them only they are much larger and crusty I I do not try to scrape them or interfere with them in any way but I would be much happier not to feel them and I want them to go away
