I’m 62 with NO wrinkles thanks to my secret weapon skincare product
A FRESH-FACED grandma has revealed her skincare product secret that keeps her staying wrinkle-free in her sixties.
Lydia Nixon – a TikTok influencer from Texas – urged people instead to gulp down a spoonful of collagen every day.
She says knocking back liquid collagen has helped transform her health and appearance.
Lydia revealed her skincare secret online, saying it’s why she looks and feels as young as she does despite being a 62-year-old grandma.
Her TikTok clips show her pouring out spoonfuls of the product and knocking it back – accompanied by such captions as “What is your secret? Mine is collagen.”
She describes herself as “62 and proud”, while also contrasting her current state with when just a few years ago she felt “at my worst, depressed and extremely obese”.
Lydia tells how as she entered her sixties she not only took up exercise, including lifting weights, but also discovered liquid collagen.
She insists it is far more effective than when taken in powder form – and tells viewers it boosts levels of hyaluronic acid, a “wrinkle filler”.
She has also set up her own fitness centre for others to exercise in, in the US Deep South state.
The TikToker with 10,500 internet followers wrote about her new business venture: “Everyone thought I was crazy, except my hubby and two sons.”
Admiring comments online include: “You look so beautiful and amazing.”
When asked when she began taking collagen each day, she pointed back to February 2020.
Collagen is a protein made up of amino acids, found in connective tissue such as cartilage, bones, tendons, ligaments and skin.
As you age, collagen breaks down and it gets harder to produce more – and experts have recommended consuming between 15g and 30g a day.
Lydia says she enjoys not only spoonfuls of collagen but also taking it in her coffee – though other options include chocolate chews, gummies and tablets, as well as bars, serums and sachets.
Last November a mum-of-three from West Malling in Kent put £3-a-day shots of liquid collagen to the test.
Others have gone online to share anti-ageing advice, including a skincare expert suggesting it helps not to look down while scrolling on your mobile phone.
Like Lydia, another 62-year-old has taken to TikTok to explain how she has a wrinkle-free face without having Botox.
Others in their fifties have offered tips too, including a recommended focus on teeth, eyes, lashes and brows or else applying every night a particular gel.
And a surprise hack costing as little as 6p to keep wrinkles at bay has also been shared.
Meanwhile, a careful watch over your diet can also retain youthful looks – with suggestions such as which three damaging foods to avoid and the food to tuck into instead.
