Can shaving daily serve as a means of exfoliation?

I noticed I'm more prone to breakouts when I dont shave regularly.Can shaving daily serve as a means of exfoliation?
No, not really. It just.. scrapes your skin. Exfoliation is removing the dead skin from your face. Exfoliators often contain beta hydroxy acids which are lipid soluble and go through the pores in your face and purify your pores. It could be feasible that shaving gets dead skin away, though. Now that I think about it.. the oil in your facial hair may clog pores on your face and keeping the hair trimmed minimizes oils all over your face. Yeah, it's more believable that it keeps your hair from spreading oil than it actually exfoliates. It's actually suggested that you exfoliate before shaving.Can shaving daily serve as a means of exfoliation?
I don't think so :/


But i only shave once every few days and i still act the same lol
Not really. There is no substitute for a good face washing with the right kind of soap.
yeah it exfoliates as well
Yes.
Well when you shave, 20% of what you shave is skin so it does exfoliate in that sense.
