A 70-year-old woman has revealed the three key things that help her look younger, including a beauty product that costs less than \u00a310.<\/p>\n
US-based lifestyle influencer\u00a0Brittany Allyn, 36, took to TikTok to introduce her youthful aunt to her fans, as well as share her top three ‘anti-ageing secrets’.<\/p>\n
While the pair were out at lunch, her relative delighted viewers by disclosing her ‘simple’ routine which included not stretching her skin, avoiding make-up wipes and applying retinol lotion to her skin twice a day.<\/p>\n
She said ‘living a little’ and indulging in her favourite foods from time kept her looking youthful, so youthful that strangers thought she looked 50.<\/p>\n
‘Number one, first I never stretch my skin’ she began.<\/p>\n

A 70-year-old woman (pictured) has revealed three hacks for looking younger, which includes a beauty product that costs less than \u00a310\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘Think of old leather shoes how they’ll stretch. Your skin will too – it’s leather. Always dab it with a towel. Don’t ever use make-up wipes to wipe off your make-up’.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She takes her fingers to her under eye area in a wiping motion to portray how not to wipe off your make-up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘Number two, I only wash my face at night and I use my fingertips very gently and splash the water on and then dab it with a towel’ she continues.<\/p>\n
The next step requires retinol lotion, a vitamin A-based beauty product used to treat acne and anti-aging effects, which costs as little as \u00a37 at some British supermarkets.<\/p>\n
She added: ‘Then I put on retinol lotion. I dab it on my eyes, I do my forehead, and my cheeks, my neck and my chest – and then you know what I’ll do it a second time’.<\/p>\n
‘And if I think I need to do it a third time on my mouth and eyes, I do’.<\/p>\n
Brittany’s aunt moves on to diet and exercise, advising the audience to stay ‘height-weight proportionate’ and ‘eat healthy’.<\/p>\n
She also perks up at the mention of enjoying your favourite foods, to which she says ‘go for it’ because ‘life is to enjoy’.<\/p>\n

Signing off with the words ‘good luck’, her reveal has been well received by viewers, so far garnering 659 comments and nearly half a million views.<\/p>\n
While many guessed the unnamed woman’s age to be 50, others were taken aback by her charming looks, branding it ‘phenomenal’.<\/p>\n
Someone else said: ‘I\u2019m sorry did you say 70?!!! Amazing’<\/p>\n
‘I am changing my entire life now bye she is beautiful’ said another.<\/p>\n
Adding to her tips, one person wrote: ‘”Don\u2019t stretch skin” is soooo important!! Also don\u2019t touch under eye area because it\u2019s so thin!’<\/p>\n
Considering how youthful her niece looked, many put it down to ‘genetics’.<\/p>\n
Unconvinced, another person wrote: ‘Don\u2019t forget the Botox’.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Last year, Brittany – a tech marketer-turned-content creator – hit headlines after deciding to freeze her eggs and document the journey on TikTok.<\/p>\n
Egg freezing, also known as oocyte cryopreservation, involves harvesting a woman’s eggs and freezing them so she can attempt pregnancy at a later date through in vitro fertilization (IVF).<\/p>\n
Brittany, who headed to London for the procedure, told Buzzfeed it was a ‘form of insurance for having a baby down the road’.<\/p>\n
She added: ‘I think it\u2019s such a special opportunity our generation has that allows us to take back some control in our fertility.<\/p>\n
‘I think I\u2019ll be able to have a kid naturally by 40, but might need help in my early 40s if I decide to have a second’.\u00a0<\/p>\n
