A WOMAN who has been dubbed the “world’s hottest gran” has revealed that a 30p buy is key to her beauty regime.
Gina Stewart, 54, is often mistaken for being decades younger than her actual age, and revealed that lemons are crucial to her youthful appearance.
The Aussie model explained that she uses the citrus fruit as a natural alternative to deodorant.
“I use it as an underarm deodorant and lemons last more than 24 hours better than any deodorant on the market,” she told the Daily Star.
“They give me a complete 24-hour protection without odour and it is 100% natural protection.
“It is one of the key things for my health and fitness and skin especially and I’d recommend others to do the same because lemons have numerous health benefits.”
Lemons are extremely cheap, and you can pick up this all natural beauty alternative for just 30p.
Gina, from the Gold Coast, previously revealed the key steps she uses to stay young.
“I just believe in being the best version of myself that I can possibly be, it makes me feel good,” she told What’s The Jam.
Gina’s first rule is to have no cosmetic enhancements done to her face.
“I don’t mess with my face. “I’ve had no Botox, no filler, and no surgery”, she said.
She also believes that sleep is incredibly important for her appearance, and aims to get seven or eight hours a night.
Gina’s third step is to make sure that she is always hydrated.
“Personally, I choose to have a glass of coconut water a day, especially during or after working out.”
“I exclusively drink filtered water from a BPA-free bottle, occasionally enjoying chamomile or green tea for its antioxidant.
“I [also] end my showers with a cold blast to tighten and refresh my skin.”
You can't really get younger but you can try your best to look younger.
Use sun protection
The most common cause of an ageing face is sun exposure and sun damage.
Using SPF daily is the most effective way to keep the skin looking young and care for ageing skin.
Ditch dramatic makeup
Opt for brown eyeliners and mascaras instead of black, swap matte bronzers, blushers and face powders for creamy products, and make your face glow with shimmery bronzes, pinks and gold eyeshadows.
Dress for your body shape
Many women tend to hide behind baggy, shapeless clothes as they get older.
But the secret to looking young and trendy, is to embrace the body shape you have.
Midi skirts are all the rage at the moment, offering suitable coverage for anyone who doesn’t want to show too much leg or knee. And pleated midi skirts are great if you’re looking for a versatile day to night piece.
Blazers never go out of fashion, and can instantly elevate any outfit. Just make sure the blazer length hits you at the right point.
Jeans have had a revival and there are so many different styles on the high street for you to try. If in doubt, opt for a mid-blue colour and a trusty black.
The glamourous grandmother, who had her first child aged 19, added that she also moisturises her entire body every day.
“The skin absorbs whatever you put on it so make sure it’s chemical-free”, she said.
“On my face I use rose hip oil and caster oil for my neck and eye areas to ward away wrinkles.
“Caster oil is incredibly effective for fine lines.
“I combine all this with a ‘a Gua Sha’ stone — also sometimes referred to as a jade scraper — that can chisel out cheekbones you didn’t even know existed.”
