What is the difference between an exfoliation and a peeling?

I'm not too hot on beauty terms. Is there any difference between the two?What is the difference between an exfoliation and a peeling?
exfoliating is basically using a scrub or a strong retinoid to take dead surface skin cells off. A peel, at a doctors office, takes a deeper layer of skin off. An at home peel is not much different than a mask or a scrub. When u have peel at a doctors office, its a chemical peel and your face is very red and looks burned, but only for 1 to 2 weeks. Then, after a new layer of skin grows, its fresher and makes you look younger. The basic point of a peel is to remove skin damage and make you appear younger. An exfoliation is something you can do at home with a grainy scrub you can buy at a beauty store or grocery story. More expensive ones sold at sephora or department stores are sometimes better and gentler. The cheaper ones do the job well tho. It all depends on your skin. If your skin is sensitive you might want something gentler and not as grainy. After exfoliation you skin will be smoother and brighter. Chemical peels are also for mature skin or for people with acne scars and deep wrinkles. If you are young, a once a week exfoliation is all you need.

exfoliation is simply the process of removing dead skin cells to reveal a fresher skin tone.. peeling is part of the exfoliation process.
