Expert Solution
Introduction

Exfoliating agents are substances that help in the removal of old, dead cells in the skin when rubbed into the body from lips to feet. Many natural products, such as salt, coffee powder, sugar, and cinnamon serve as effective exfoliators of the skin. 

Cosmetic products most likely contain a low concentration of exfoliators. Exfoliating agents are used in people with dry skin to remove dead cells and dry patches and to encourage healthy skin.
