Exfoliate is when you scrub off the dead skin cells, letting the more newer skin cells show.

The little bumps sometimes are caused by a build up of dead skin cells. Even though you might shower everyday, there are still dead skin cells on you. Exfoliating allows you to get rid of more skin cells, to prevent clogged pores. And to make you have a more nicer deeper feeling clean.

Exfoliating is bad for you though if you do it too much. You need the dead skin cells because they are the reason why you don't soak up water when you are bathing. The dead skin cells are waterproof.

As I stated before, St. Ives Apricot Scrub is good, though I haven't use it myself, just from reviews from others. But any kind of exfoliant is useful. The difference between an exfoliant and a cleanser is that an exfoliant either has sand or sugar, something grainy added into it. The grains, when you use it, will scrub the skin and take off a lot of dead skin cells that might be causing your problem.

If they are just bumps that appear for no reason even after you have been exfoliating for a while, then I don't know what they are. I have them too but on my arms. Just like little scar looking like bumps that appear out of no where even though I didn't have a cut or acne/pimple there. If they bother you, then go see a dermatologist and have that checked out.
