While you can’t stop the clock from going forward, you could reverse the effects of time on your skin.
A skin expert has revealed how to slow down ageing in just 10 seconds.
From Botox injections to expensive skin serums, there is a huge industry that focuses on keeping your skin looking youthful.
However, pharmacist and skin expert, Ben Fuchs, explained you don’t need to break the bank to keep your skin supple.
Speaking to neuroscientist Robert Love on TikTok, Fuchs explained that one practice can increase collagen production, soften and lighten skin, as well as increase the production of hyaluronic acid.
If you’re familiar with skincare, you might have heard that all of these processes can help create a base for youthful and healthy-looking skin.
However, Fuchs doesn’t recommend a vast array of different products to tackle every single of these problems. In fact, his solution is much simpler.
Speaking in the video, the skin expert said: “Collagen production increasing, softening skin on the surface, lightening the skin, increasing the production of hyaluronic acid are all possible with what I call skin exercise, which is exfoliation.”
Exfoliation refers to the process of removing dead skin cells from the surface of your skin.
Aside from clearing away dry and dead skin, a regular exfoliation can increase your skin’s radiance, clarity, and youthfulness.
While you can exfoliate using chemicals, granular substances, or exfoliation tools, Fuchs recommended opting for alpha hydroxy acids.
He said: “There’s lots of ways to exfoliate the skin, you can use washcloth exfoliator, men exfoliate when they shave, but the best way to exfoliate the skin is with acids, specifically alpha hydroxy acids, like glycolic acid, lactic acid and mandelic acid.”
While using these products can be very potent, the pharmacist recommended taking a break every now and then.
“It’s really important to give yourself days off because it is during the days off that the tissue recovers and that’s when you get the wonderful anti-ageing benefits,” he added.
