A 74-YEAR-OLD woman who’s virtually wrinkle free has shared the homemade cream she swears by to keep lines at bay.
Her daughter regularly posts about her mother’s incredible facade and physique on her social media pages, and recently shared a TikTok to reveal the cream she makes herself to keep her skin taut and fresh.

“So this is my and she said if you don’t want to buy expensive neck creams, you can actually at home,” she said.
The base of the cream is Vaseline,, mixed with madecassoside cream, which can be purchased for around £11.99 on Amazon.
“So you take a little bit of Vaseline and you mix it with madecassoside,” she continued.
“And you just a little bit, like that. And then put it on your neck where you have neck lines.”
The older woman called the “mixture” amazing, and then “do the turkey neck exercises at the same time” by putting the tongue to roof of the mouth to tighten the neck.
Simply massage the homemade cream into the skin, and watch it work its magic.
“Homemade neck and smile cream,” she captioned the TikTok.
“My mum loves mixing Vaseline and any madecassoside cream which is a purified active compound from Centella asiatica (Cica/Tiger Grass).
“It’s widely used in K-beauty dermatologist for its barrier repair and antiaging benefits.
“Try it out!
“Mum said it’s done wonders for her neck.”
People quickly took to the comments section to weigh in, with one writing: “My brother is 42, he has a smooth baby face with no wrinkles at all.
“People have told him he looks like he’s in his 20s!
“I asked him what he uses and he said Vaseline instead of lotion.”
“My mum has used Vaseline on her face all her life,” another said.
“74?! Nahhhhh. She looks like your sister!” a third insisted.
Most important skincare advice
Faye Purcell, Head of Research & Development at Q+A Skincare shared her knowledge with Fabulous.
What skincare advice would you like everyone to know/follow?
Can I give two! Firstly, wear SPF daily and secondly, double cleanse! Wearing SPF daily, even on cloudy days and during the winter months, is one of the most important things you can do for your skin.
Double cleansing is one of the most effective (and often overlooked) ways to upgrade your skincare routine – especially if you wear sunscreen, makeup, or live in a busy polluted city. I’d suggest an evening double cleanse for best results.
What is a big skincare myth?
Luxury doesn’t mean more effective. You absolutely do not need to spend a fortune on skincare to get great results and Q+A is the perfect example of this. Many affordable products use the same active ingredients as luxury brands like hyaluronic acid, retinol, vitamin C, peptides, or salicylic acid – we use these in lots of our face and body products. A smart, consistent routine with well-formulated products – regardless of price – is what truly delivers results.
If someone is new to skincare, what’s one product you’d recommend them and why?
A moisturiser with SPF. Moisturising daily is an essential for all skin types and can make a perceivable difference to the appearance of the skin quickly. As SPF is also essential, combining these two steps can build good habits quickly and prevent skin cancer. Not only is SPF essential for protecting the skin from sun damage/skin cancer but also helps keep premature ageing at bay e.g. wrinkles/pigmentation.
Q+A have three excellent facial SPF50s (£15 each) – Peptide Anti-Ageing SPF50, Niacinamide Balancing SPF50 and Squalane Hydrating SPF50, that are available from Sephora and Holland & Barrett.
What is Q+A’s number one best seller?

When it comes to the body, it’s the Q+A Salicylic Acid Body Wash – we sell one every two minutes.

“I had a spot on my back cut out for testing and the dermatologist put Vaseline on it and told me when I changed the bandages to reapply,” someone else said.
“I was shocked but they say it’s great to use!”
