I’m 40 but everyone thinks I’m in my 20s – I swear by a £4 Boots buy for glowing and wrinkle free skin
A WOMAN who is in her forties but says that she is always getting mistaken for a 20-year-old, has revealed her £4 secret for wrinkle-free skin.
Adriana, 40, said that she is often mistaken for a very young mum, despite having only just given birth to her first child.
She said that she doesn’t believe that her wrinkle-free skin is down to genetics and took to TikTok to share the hacks she uses to stay looking youthful.
Vitamins
Adriana said that taking a selection of vitamins and supplements helps her to maintain a wrinkle-free appearance.
She swears by Viatmin D, which helps to regulate the cellular replication cycle, which can help prevent premature ageing.
You can pick up a tub of Vitamin D tablets for just £4 from Boots.
Adriana added that in her 30s, she started to take collagen, which she thinks had a huge impact on how she looks now.
Collagen boosts your skin’s elasticity, which an prevent the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
No Tanning
Adriana said that she never uses sunbeds, and hates lying out in the sun.
Sun exposure can lead to premature signs of ageing, such as wrinkles and fine lines.
Instead, Adriana likes to use fake tan to give herself a natural looking glow.
Water
Adriana makes sure to drink two to three litres of water a day.
“I really try to keep track of how much I drink during the day”, she said.
“It has a big impact on how you look.”
Drinking water helps skin to maintain moisture and elasticity, which can reduce wrinkles and signs of premature ageing.
