A 35-YEAR-OLD woman has said that she always gets mistaken for a 12-year-old, thanks to a £3.99 hack.
Krystn Walmsley revealed that every time she talks about her hack to banish wrinkles she is criticised for being a child talking about wrinkles.
“The irony is, I’m 35”, she said in a TikTok video.
“And no, it’s not Botox“.
In a second video, Krystn explained that her youthful complexion is thanks to silicone scar sheets.
She said that they are designed to promote collagen production, and added that she has been using them to tape her face.
Collagen helps to give your skin structure and elasticity, thus helping to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Krystn explains that she applies the tape to her face after doing her evening skincare routine.
She added that as part of her skincare routine, she applies castor oil under her eyes, which is an antioxidant, which may help to reduce the process of ageing.
Krystn explained that she relaxes the muscles in her forehead, and then places a sheet of tape horizontally across her forehead.
“You’re trying to prevent the muscles from contracting, to retrain them not to be used to often”, she said.
She added that she places tape above her mouth, to prevent smile lines, and in between her eyebrows to prevent 11 lines.
Krystn said that you can also put tape on your neck to prevent ‘tech neck’, although she hasn’t tried this yet.
She said that she uses the tape three to five times a week, and keeps it on all night.
Silicone scar sheets can be purchased for as little as £3.98 from Amazon.
Dermatologist and skincare enthusiast Andrea Suarez - known as Dr Dray - revealed why you should wear suncream.
The one thing you can do that will make the biggest difference – and this matters for all ages – is protecting your skin from the sun, Andrea stressed.
“The vast majority of external aging is due to exposure to ultraviolet radiation,” she continued, not because you’re “not using some jazzy serum or layering 90 different things on your face everyday”.
“If you’re not doing in your 20s, get on that now.”
But she said the use of sun cream alone doesn’t go far enough. Andrea urged that you also wear sun-protective clothing like broad-brimmed hats and long sleeves, on top of not staying out too long in the sun.
Doing this over your lifetime – and all year, not just during the summer or on sunny days – “will reduce the visible signs of photoageing”, Andrea said.
Those are wrinkles, muddled pigmentation and sagging skin.
Krystn’s video has likely left many people impressed, as it has racked up over 1.3 million views on the video sharing platform.
TikTok users raced to the video’s comments section to share their thoughts.
One person said: “I use this for mouth taping and my lips have gotten so plump.”
Another person said: “Just ordered some.
“My neck is about to be fully covered every night!”
A third person said: “Your skin is amazing!”
A fourth person added: “This is fantastic information, thank you doll for your tips”.
