I’m 37 but have ‘reverse aged’ my face by nearly a decade – my mascara hack is key to preventing fine lines and wrinkles
AN expert in all things anti-ageing has shared the mascara application hack she swears by to stop fine lines and wrinkles from forming.
Nadine Balagot is 37-years-old and says she has “age reversed” nearly a decade off her face through an array of natural and free beauty hacks.
And one of those hacks is the unique way she applies mascara.
“Instead of unnecessarily raising your brows when applying mascara, gently lift your brows with the opposite hand,” she explained.
“Prevent fine lines and wrinkles, or stop making those wrinkles deeper with this hack.”
Taking to Instagram, Nadine shared a tutorial on how she does it.

The hack means she doesn’t make any wrinkle-forming facial expressions when putting her make-up on.
In turn, this “trains” her muscles in her forehead to not form creases, duly preventing the formation of wrinkles.
Nadine, from California, US, also has another unusual hack for ageing her skin backwards.
In lieu of anti-wrinkle injections, which paralyse muscles in the face to stop lines from forming, she rubs the inside of a banana peel over cleansed skin.
She dubs the beauty practice a “banana peel scrub”.
“Banana peel scrubs work,” she penned in another Instagram post.
“It hydrates, tightens and reduces inflammation.
“It’s so inexpensive and healthy for you.”
Bananas are loaded with lots of nutrients that strengthen and support our internal and external organs.
That’s why thousands of women are rubbing the peels on their skin after the hack went viral on TikTok in 2022.
There are no clinical studies to support the regular use of banana peels as an anti-ageing remedy, but women like Nadine still swear by the hack.
As a result of doing it regularly, her social media followers have gushed that she looks “two decades younger” than her real age.
