A WOMAN has left beauty fans stunned after she revealed she’s actually decades older than she looks.
Pamela, who goes by Aunty Pamela on social media, is 73-years-old, but thanks to a simple skincare step doesn’t look it.
In the viral TikTok clip, the skincare fan said there’s one simple key to looking so young at the age of 73, and the good news is it won’t break the bank.
“I can count on my fingers the nights I’ve gone to bed without makeup,” she said, adding that she was “drunk on every single one of those.”
It might seem obvious, but according to the anti-ageing whizz properly removing her makeup has made all the difference.
“You just take care of your skin every night, it adds up over the years,” Pamela, said in the clip.

“Definitely does not look her age, looks fab. No need for jealous people in the comments,” one said.
A second agreed: “She looks absolutely jaw dropping. Amazing.”
However, others pointed out that Pamela might’ve had cosmetic work done to help her look younger than her true age.
“She looks fabulous, but I don’t believe it’s down to regular skincare at night,” one said.
“Skincare is definitely maintenance, but there’s more to this equation,” another commented.
“The secret is money,” someone else quipped.
So, how much does taking of your makeup really help with looking young?
According to the skin pros at Dermalogica, removing makeup is a must.
“At night our skin goes through a natural recovery process, working to repair itself from any damage experienced throughout the day,” they explained.
“Not taking your makeup off will age you because makeup mixed with dirt and pollution that builds on the skin can hinder its ability to successfully renew itself at night.
“And this is what can causing premature aging. It can also lead to a breakdown of collagen in the skin. And when collagen is not being produced properly, your skin looses firmness and may begin aging faster than it’s supposed to.”
Not only that, but forgetting to remove the day from your face can leave you looking dull right now, and you risk irritation and eye infections too.

She told Fabulous: “The science is evident that we all have the power to make simple life changing alterations to better our future selves – no matter what genetic hand we might have been dealt with.
“The reality is, we all sometimes indulge in unhealthy eating habits like processed foods, smoking cigarettes, drinking too much alcohol, inhaling city pollutants, and even drinking water from plastic bottles – none of this is good for us.
“All this does is promote the ageing process, but we all have the potential to change this.”

Antioxidants, such as vitamins A, C, and E, are essential in neutralising free radicals—the culprits behind premature ageing.
Integrating a spectrum of colourful fruits and vegetables into your diet provides a potent source of antioxidants.

Omega-3s act as nourishment for your skin, locking in moisture and diminishing fine lines and wrinkles.
Collagen, a structural protein dwindling with age, can be replenished through collagen-rich foods like bone broth and lean protein sources.
