I guess some people are just not born with desquamation mechanism functioning well. Maybe that's why many people are acne prone. I'm not a scientist though and I love reading your entries. It gives me another perspective aside from anecdotal blog entries. Thanks for putting up a blog. I feel the need to exfoliate.
