Questions & Answers about Para exfoliar la piel, debes usar un gel exfoliante.
How is the adjective exfoliante formed from the verb exfoliar?
To turn a verb into an adjective describing what something does (an active participle), you drop the infinitive ending. Because exfoliar is an -ar verb, you add -ante. If it were an -er or -ir verb, you would add -ente or -iente.
Does exfoliante change to match feminine nouns, like if I used crema instead of gel?
The translation says 'your skin', but the Spanish says la piel. Why not use tu piel?
In Spanish, it is standard to use the definite article (el, la, los, las) instead of possessive adjectives when referring to body parts, as long as it is obvious whose body part it is. Using tu piel here would sound unnatural to a native speaker.
Why is para used at the beginning of the sentence instead of ?
