Not trying to perpetuate, but I think a key piece of evidence regarding the word’s legitimacy in John’s case is that...we’re all in debate about it! If it were a common COSMETIC word, I doubt there’d be so many of us going on about it.yadayadayeah wrote:Per the Twitter poster, allegedly, it is a bougie word used in British spasgg518 wrote:Sorry for double post, won't let me edit.Were you that person on twitter? Just wondering why you'd repost these since 2 are typos and 1 is in reference to an actual procedure that isn't simply exfoliating (though this could also be a mistake considering it's just some random cosmetologists site).PistolsFiring wrote:Sorry not believing you.

The journal that was mentioned in the previous page looks like it's the 'legit' definition : removes a chemical with oxygen particles (??) ...it's definitely not scrubbing lips with vaseline and a towel lol xxx
Here are examples of modern day useage in cosmetic. You can't convince me it three coincidences. It's a word ffs!

Okay. Done now
The salon one is clearly by one of those salons where even the manager doesn't speak English. Its riddled with typos.
The other is a product description that contains a typo. Search "EzFlow - 2 In 1 Balance" on Google images. You'll see an image of the actual product which says "exfoliate with..." On it rather than "oxfoliate with". The description is also modified for reputable sites selling the product. It doesn't say that on the listing for it on Amazon.

As we've learned thanks to bitchboy it's a word. But it isn't used in cosmetics. 2-3 typos on the internet isn't unbelievable considering how much pages there are on it. YES this whole argument is splitting hairs. But it's justified considering he loves latching on to people for stuff like this.
So, is it a word: I’m sure it is, like Rachael, I don’t know all the words.
Is John using it correctly: probably not.
