Jessica (@thejessicatepper) shared her beauty recommendations in a viral TikTok.

"Why didn't [any]one tell me that I didn't actually have fine lines and wrinkles, I just had dehydrated skin?" she asked.

She vented that she had regrets about spending "nearly all of my 20s" getting Botox treatments.

"I haven't had Botox in two years and my skin's looked better than it ever has," she said.

For those under 30, she added that they didn't need Botox, they simply needed to up their skincare game.

"I don't gatekeep around here so let's get into the products you actually need," she said.

Jessica revealed that she relies on hyaluronic acid for deep skin hydration.

Her weapons of choice are the Matkas Deep Ultra Hydration Serum and the Skinceuticals Hyaluronic Acid Intensifier.

The trick to hyaluronic acids, she explained, is to apply on damp skin and follow up with a moisturizer.

She picked the La Roche-Posay Double Repair Moisturizer to seal it all in.

On days when she needs a little more help with extra dry skin, she reaches for the Nu Skin Rejuvenating Cream.

The beauty fan explained that the four products work overnight and she wakes up to glowy and dewy skin.

Her lineup, she said, worked much better than expensive Botox treatments.

"Before you go running spending $500 every three to four months on Botox, just use hyaluronic acid," she said.

Skincare connoisseurs seconded her tips, tricks, and advice.

One emphasized the importance of layering hyaluronic acid on wet skin.

"Definitely make sure to use hyaluronic acid serum on damp skin!" said one commenter.

"Otherwise it’ll make the dryness/dehydratedness worse!"

Others shared from experience that what she said was accurate.

"This is why I looked older at 30 than I do now at 40," said one commenter.

"Hydration is key."
