A BEAUTY fan has revealed that those who wish to stay looking youthful and wrinkle free need to “eat their moisturiser.”
The woman, who is in her 40s, explained that she managed to come up with a concoction that is edible and will hydrate your skin from the inside out.
She also explained on her TikTok page ‘thatsotee,’ that her “anti-ageing soup” which is called “fountain of youth” and “miracle food” has a number of health benefits.
Filming herself in a video, she says: “Eat your moisturiser.
“I’m going to share with you a beauty must on how I maintain a clear, healthy, youthful complexion in my forties.
“This baby is going to hydrate you from the inside out and it’s going to help plump and firm up your skin.”
She explained that snow fungus, which is also known as jelly mushroom, tremella mushroom, snow ear, or white fungus, is the secret moisturising ingredient to eat.
The beauty fan says: “In China, they call this the fountain of youth.
“If you’re on that anti-ageing kick and you want plump, youthful skin, this is full of plant collagen and it also induces collagen production.
“Since it contains 17 amino acids, which are the building blocks of collagen synthesis.
“It’s not called a miracle food for nothing.
“It has numerous health benefits and can solve a number of health issues. It’s a protein that has anti-inflammatory properties. It’s rich in antioxidants and nutrients.
“It protects and nourishes the brain, the heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, stomach. It strengthens your bones.
“Overall, amazing for immunity. I like to call this the ultimate anti-ageing soup.”
The woman will make a big batch of this mixture at the beginning of the week and have it on an empty stomach for breakfast every morning.
She says: “It’s the first solid thing I’ll consume in the morning. I also like to add peach gum to this, which also boosts collagen production. This is also super healthy for you.”
Many people rushed to the comments section of her video to share their thoughts.
One wrote: “100%! Snow fungus is our favorite beauty hack.
“We stock it on our site too with the additional herb packs.”
Another added: “I literally have five of these in my pantry. It tastes amazing. I was wondering what it was.”
Whilst someone else said: “ok …..I’m sold but where do you get it….like the real thing…..asking for me.”

Coconut oil
Coconut oil is highly moisturising and rich in fatty acids (especially lauric acid), which help to nourish the skin and create a protective barrier. It has antimicrobial properties, making it beneficial for soothing irritation and minor skin conditions.
Jojoba oil
Jojoba oil closely resembles the skin’s natural sebum, so it’s excellent at balancing oil production. It absorbs quickly, moisturises without being greasy and won’t clog your pores.
Almond oil
Almond oil – particularly the sweet kind – is rich in vitamins A, E, and omega-3 fatty acids. These help soothe, soften, and nourish the skin. It’s lightweight, easily absorbed and has anti-inflammatory properties that are great for irritated or inflamed skin.
Rosehip oil
Rosehip seed oil is rich in vitamins A and C, which help to brighten the skin and promote collagen production. It’s known for its ability to reduce scars, stretch marks and fine lines while also hydrating the skin.
