A WOMAN in her 80s has left the internet stunned with her incredible skin.
A personal stylist from Melbourne, Australia, asked her 82-year-old mum to show off her skincare routine that kept her skin looking youthful.
In the clip, she asked her mum whether her skincare routine was pricey and her mum responded that it was super affordable and minimal.
While most of us seem to think you need a ten-step skincare routine to keep it looking it's best and put a stop to wrinkles, it turns out you don't.
The 82-year-old mum revealed how she kept her skin from ageing with just three products, and people were so in awe of her looks they thought she must have had a face lift.
She first went in with Sorbolene cream as a cleanser, although it's technically a cream, using this to wash her face stops her skin from drying out.
In the UK, it is often known as and can be bought for just £2.69 in Boots.
The next product her mum used was sunscreen, while she didn't recommend a particular brand she did note the importance of wearing and reapplying it throughout the day, every single day.
She said: "Two or three times a day in summer.
"Just remember to keep that going in summer."
Last but not least, the 82-year-old revealed the only moisturiser she has used in the last 40 years.
She recommenced the in the blue tub, which you can nab for yourself for just £2.49 in Superdrug.
She continued: "That's all I've used for about 40 years."
The clip posted to her daughter's TikTok account @has since gone viral with over 742k views and 24k likes.
People were quick to take to the comments to share their thoughts and comment on the older woman's incredible skin with some claiming she must have had work done.
One person wrote: "She’s obviously had a lot of work, face lifts. We don’t have these in us."
Another commented: "It’s the sunscreen!! Sun is the biggest factor of ageing. Use it all year round, even in winter you get sun damage."
"She puts it on everyday," she replied.
"And not a single active ingredient in sight. Looks like the key is consistency and keeping things simple to make your skin happy. She looks fabulous," penned a third.

She told Fabulous: “The science is evident that we all have the power to make simple life changing alterations to better our future selves - no matter what genetic hand we might have been dealt with.
“The reality is, we all sometimes indulge in unhealthy eating habits like processed foods, smoking cigarettes, drinking too much alcohol, inhaling city pollutants, and even drinking water from plastic bottles – none of this is good for us.
“All this does is promote the ageing process, but we all have the potential to change this.”
It may be hard, but try to keep away from sugary carbohydrates, because they feed chronic inflammation, which is one of the worst enemies of reversing ageing.
Now only will you end up putting on weight if you consume them regularly, but your energy and hormonal levels will be affected and this will influence how you look and feel.
Whatever your age or state of health, it’s never too late to reverse how quickly you are ageing and embrace the energy and vigour of a younger you.
Antioxidants, such as vitamins A, C, and E, are essential in neutralising free radicals—the culprits behind premature ageing.
Integrating a spectrum of colourful fruits and vegetables into your diet provides a potent source of antioxidants.
Omega-3 fatty acids, abundant in fatty fish like salmon and flaxseeds, are vital for maintaining skin elasticity and hydration.
Omega-3s act as nourishment for your skin, locking in moisture and diminishing fine lines and wrinkles.
Collagen, a structural protein dwindling with age, can be replenished through collagen-rich foods like bone broth and lean protein sources.
Meanwhile a fourth said: "I’ve never tried that Nivea on my face, something about the smell. She looks amazing!"
"She looks fantastic!” claimed a fifth.
