Exclusive: "I Feel Younger Every Time I See Him" - Kim Kardashian's Skincare Guru Reveals Secrets Of Her Flawless Glow

Love her or loathe her, there's no denying that Kim Kardashian has flawless, envy-inducing skin. And now, the man behind her dewy glow has revealed exactly what he uses to keep the reality TV star's skin in tip top condition. Dr Harold Lancer is the go-to dermatologist in Hollywood and the man that 33-year-old Kim
credits with maintaining her youthful looks.
As he launches his new book, "Younger", Dr Lancer shares the skincare secrets and lifestyle tips that he passes onto his A-list clients with MailOnline. 'I prescribe the Lancer Three-Step Method - step one, polish; step two, cleanse; step three, nourish - to all of my patients, regardless of how sophisticated they are about cosmetics', he said.

Dr Lancer says method differs from traditional skincare because it shifts the focus from the dermis (the lower layer of the skin) to the epidermis (the outermost layer). 'Dermis-focused skin care regimes are not effective because the ingredients, no matter how therapeutic, are not able to reach the dermis. Instead, the skin must be stimulated to repair itself,' he said.

The Lancer Method reverses the usual order of skin care - beginning with polishing, or exfoliation, followed by cleansing, and then nourishing. He believes that by polishing first, the result is a deeper cleanse, a more efficient delivery of active ingredients and more robust cell renewal. 'Say, for example, you wanted to replace a tile floor. If your epidermis is the floor, then exfoliation is the gentle lifting process that breaks up the old, worn out tiles. Next you have to scoop up and sweep away the debris, e.g. cleansing, and finally fresh tiles have to be laid, which represent the nourish step,' he said.

'Exfoliation creates a "controlled injury",' he explains. 'Gentle exfoliation sends a message to the dermis that repair should begin and fresh cells are needed, expediting the turnover of cells in your epidermis. 'The controlled injury achieved by exfoliating turns back the clock by re-energising the repair process, giving skin a younger, fresher look.'
The next step is cleansing, which, as most people know, helps you get rid of everything that you have loosened up by exfoliating. This is followed by nourish, which delivers anti-oxidants, vitamins and other anti-ageing ingredients to the skin.
Kim is an everyday user of Dr Lancer’s three step Method, as is Victoria Beckham, (pictured above) who also loves his SPF and the Lift Serum Intense.
