An excellent skin care regime is key to maintaining a youthful appearance whatever your age.
GB News spoke exclusively to an esthetician about the skin care product she “couldn’t live without”. She stressed the importance of a great exfoliator.
Licensed esthetician Kylee Kintis from FarmHouse Fresh has certifications in chemical peels, dermaplaning, lasers, and non-invasive body treatments.
She told GB News: “Exfoliation can often be overlooked in a skincare regimen. This is a crucial step -some say the most important – to ensure healthy, younger-looking skin.

“Your skin needs exfoliation otherwise your serums, moisturisers, and other products may not penetrate and absorb properly. This is why I cannot live without a good, effective exfoliator.
“You will want to save your exfoliation step for the evening to allow your skin to rest and repair overnight. Next time you do your evening skincare routine, don’t skip out on your exfoliation!”
Dermalogica UK provided essential information on the benefits of exfoliation. Experts said: “Your skin typically goes through a 28-day cycle, from new cells being born at the bottom of the epidermis to shedding off at the surface.
“As we get older, this process, called desquamation begins to slow down. Have you noticed your skin get more dull, drier or an increase in texture over the years? This could be why.
“Exfoliation can help to speed up this decline by increasing cell renewal to give you brighter and smoother skin.
“Exfoliation also sloughs off surface, dull dead skin cells – this delivers a smoother surface. Imagine this smooth surface like an untouched lake, the water reflects its surroundings perfectly. Exfoliation can make your skin appear instantly brighter, as it is increasingly smooth and can reflect the light more effectively.
“Overall, exfoliation can make sure you are always putting your best face forward.”

“I love this polish as it uses millions of tiny natural plant-based fibre particles to buff away dead skin. I use this two to three times per week as this instantly reveals softer, smoother skin afterwards.
“It only takes two minutes, and after two weeks of consistent use, you’ll notice a big difference in the look of your skin.
“The best part is this can be used on all skin types as all you need to do is add water if you need more slip.”
Before using an exfoliator, it’s important to check the instructions for information on how often you should be using it and with what amount.
As well as maintaining an effective skin care regimen, women can use supplementation to “transform their skin”.
