Exfoliation

What the product description says
“Dial Himalayan Salt Body Wash is an enriching body wash formulated to gently exfoliate and help skin feel soft, smooth, and replenished.”
Source: Walgreens

This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
