My skin is so smooth you wouldn’t think I’m 60 – my DIY hack prevents fine lines & all you need is a kitchen staple
A 60-YEAR-OLD woman has shared the kitchen staple she uses to maintain a youthful appearance.
She demonstrated the DIY hack she uses to smooth the skin around her mouth.
In her viral video, TikTok user Vicky Derosa (@vicky.derosa) explained that she is always asked how she avoids fine lines and wrinkles.
However, the secret to her smooth skin isn’t a fancy anti-ageing product.
Rather than looking in the beauty aisle, Vicky opts to use an item that can be found in everyone’s kitchen.
While coffee is a divisive ingredient among beauty experts, this TikToker suggests applying it directly to your skin rather than drinking it.
She explained that any coffee, as long as it is finely ground, works for this hack.
Vicky mixed it with olive oil and gently applied it to her upper lip, exfoliating the skin.
The beauty pro recommended using the homemade solution every day.
She suggested taking it into the shower with you for a mess-free application.
“This is where we are very prone to lines, not only lines but age spots above the lid,” Vicky explained.
She advised her audience to focus on a gentle application for the best results.
“Remember the coffee is also not just exfoliating and getting rid of dry skin but also, it’s anti-inflammatory,” she said.
After applying the mixture, the TikToker made sure to keep the area above her lip damp.
She revealed that her “secret” involves going right in with a face oil immediately after.
Vicky’s followers shared their thoughts on the advice in the comments section.
“I have wrinkles above my lip since I was 30 or so, will try this,” wrote one viewer.
