Transitive VerbIntransitive Verb

past: exfoliatedpp: exfoliateding: exfoliating

This term carries a clinical or cosmetic connotation, evoking a sense of renewal and purification. In skincare, it describes a deliberate process of scrubbing or chemical peeling to reveal a fresher layer of skin, often associated with luxury spa treatments or dermatological hygiene.

When applied to non-biological materials like paint or stone, the word shifts toward a description of decay or weathering. It suggests a gradual, layered disintegration where the surface separates into thin, brittle scales rather than crumbling into dust.
