are abrasive scrubs and brushes bad?

I wish Acne was included in those "love yourself" campaigns

I agree with you completely. I will say though, as a kid I found it really comforting to know that Cameron Diaz had acne. I remember some tabloid took a picture of her without make-up once. She had a ...

So do you exfoliate?

Yes, but I use a very gentle method. I use a Konjac sponge. It is made from the Konjac Plant, and it is 100% natural. It actually cleanses your skin too, and gently exfoliates.
