Suggestion:
exfoliation is actually a really important part of the skincare regimen
it gets rid of dead skin cells and allows your new skin to appear on the surface
it also prevents the build of dead skin cells which can cause acne and such
therefore exfoliation is definitely very healthy for you
however don't overdo it
because excess exfoliation can irritate the skin and cause more damage
it's best to exfoliate 2-3 times a week

Yes, but since you're on the verge of turning into a man, you must learn to do it in the manliest fashion possible.
Don't use those scrubs and exfoliating lotions, use a cheese grater.
None of that "rub gently in circles, avoiding the eyes", graters only work in one direction and eyes need exfoliation too, you know.
Always use aftershave.
ABSOLUTELY!
You should definitively assist your skin in shedding its old skin. Makes it healthier and it will keep you looking younger for longer.
I started exfoliating when I was 15 so its all good.
I would say maybe exfoliate once every 1.5 to 2 weeks. You probably don't have to do it weekly.
I use the Baiden mitten. I found it at http://www.perfectmodelskin.com
I have NEVER seen so much skin come off me before and trust me, I've used anything and everything prior to exfoliate. The skin comes off in roles! If you ever thought you were clean, think again.
Oh…if you're really hairy I've heard this mitten doesn't actually work that well.
Hope this helps

Good luck
It's great for anyone, almost any age to be exfoliating their skin.
It takes off all the yucky stuff that "adheres" to your skin during the day such as: dirt, dust particles, germssss. all kind of good stuff. ;]
"All dirt and no exfoliation makes Jack a dull boy"
:]
