I’m 52 but people say they wished they looked like me in their 20s – I swear by an £11 No7 product at Boots
A WOMAN in her 50s has revealed her skincare hacks that leave her looking youthful.
In fact, some of Annamaria Kalebic’s fans claim they wish they’d looked as she does in their 20s - let alone 50s.
Annamaria, 52, from St Leonards, East Sussex, looks incredibly youthful thanks to her age-defying complexion.
And now she’s revealed the exact products she uses to prevent lines and wrinkles.
On her @annamariakalebic account, she said: “My name is Anna. I'm 52 years old and I've been asked a lot ‘what is my current skincare routine?’
“I chop and change all the time, but I'll give you the lowdown on everything I'm currently using.”
And thankfully Anna says you don’t need to fork out a fortune on expensive cleansers for your skin.
She explained: “Don't think you have to spend a lot on cleansers.
“Make sure the ingredients are good, that it doesn't strip your skin, but it does get all your makeup off.”
She swears by two cleaners, No7’s Derm Solutions, which is £11.96 from Boots, and The Ordinary’s Squalane Cleanser, which is £8.30 from Boots.
Speaking of the latter, Anna said: “I love this because it's a cream to oil cleanser.
“Great for dislodging your makeup as a first cleanse.
“Also really love this one from the No7 Derm Solutions.
“It's the calming gel cleanser, and it's a very, very gentle wash cleanser.”
In terms of serum, she uses a vitamin C product int he day and follows with a peptide serum.

4. Moisturise
5. Incorporate an anti-oxidant serum (if you want)
6. Use a retinol
7. Skincare (but it only goes so far)
8. Exercise

10. Use fewer products
Meanwhile, at night she uses Medik8 Crystal Retinol, which is a bit pricier at £49 from Look Fantastic.
Anna added: “I don't use it every night, but maybe every other or every third night.
“I'll let the crystal retinal sink in, and then once that's absorbed, I will follow with my No7 Future Renew Peptide Serum, which I love.”
The beauty fan also swears by using SPF every day.
But her age-defying looks aren’t just down to her skincare.
She has previously shown off her very healthy lifestyle - including breakfast bowl of superfoods, fruit smoothies and gym trips.
