BEAUTY fans spend hundreds on posh products in a bid to keep wrinkles at bay, but you might not need to. One woman has shared her 90-year-old gran's tips and one of them won't cost you a penny. Sarah Palmyra took to TikTok to explain exactly how her 90-year-old gran looks so good - and there are a few simple steps she swears by.

Her first rule is to always clean your face before going to bed - it might seem obvious, but it makes all the difference. You can use any products to do this, but Sarah explained her gran starts this process with an eye makeup remover, followed by a cleansing milk and then a toner.

"My grandma has always believed that rinsing your face with water can actually strip your skin, so instead she uses a toner from Clarins, which she has used for decades," Sarah added. Her next rule is that anything she applies to her face also gets applied to her neck, chest and hands.

Not only does this trick stop you wasting expensive product, but it keeps wrinkles at bay from not just your face. But the 90-year-old's best beauty tip is all about how she applies the products. Her sweep and pinch technique involves gently pinching around the neck and face to boost circulation to those areas.
"[She] always uses light, upwards sweeping motions when she applies her products, but she pinches her neck every single morning to increase blood flow," Sarah explained. And finally, Sarah said she's never seen her gran leave the house without wearing sunglasses, as protecting her skin from the harsh rays is a must.
