I am 73 yr old female. I have been using prescription Trentinoin, starting with very low concentration approx. 30 years ago. Now I use 0.1 daily. I will sometimes use Niacinmide with this. Minutes later, I apply Glycerin.
Morning, i rinse, apply Vitamin C.
To exfoliate I pat on activated charcoal, periodically. I let it dry. I will clean it off gently with sugar. Then apply aloe.
I have no wrinkles at all, but i do have slight jowls and sagging eyelids. Can’t afford lid lift as prescribed by Dr. Karam. So i use eyelid tape which works just fine to hide my oldness😃. These are not time consuming at all.

Skin School is one of my favorite classes. Thank you so much Dr. Karam for this video on exfoliation and how often we should do this to our skin. I hear so much about the skin barrier. Now I understand what I can do myself to take good care of my skin and not harm my skin barrier. How often I should exfoliate and how long to do this and not rub too hard. Thank God, I've never had a skin problem on my face. Thank you for a very excellient video.

Hello I am having issues with rough skin on my left knee. I have tried different lotions and nothing seems to help. What do you suggest I try to help smooth the skin. Thanks

[MagnificoMaltese]

I remember Suzanne Somers used to say an old rough washcloth was her choice for exfoliating her skin.

[cindycinderella]

Would this help with the problem of milia or how do you get rid of this build up?

[d.h.]

Dear Dr Karam, thank you for your very informative videos. If I ever think about a facelift you are my first choice. Greetings from Munich.

When I was in my younger years 90”s-early 2000’s matte makeup was all the rave. But I had a friend who did makeup for Chanel and she would say “ NO powder”. And this was in late 90’s. She never used powder on her face. But I used to think “yuck” it looks oily. How she was ahead of her time. God bless her soul! (she passed last year)
