My mom has a whole fan club who are stunned that she’s 72 – she has six age-defying tricks and most of them are free
MOM always knows best - especially when it comes to aging better.
And her bits of wisdom extend far beyond her beauty routine.
"Because my mom has a mini fan club on TikTok right now after I posted this video of her rubbing a banana peel on her face and people couldn't believe that she's 72 years old, I'm going to share some other anti-aging tips that she uses," said Dr. Mamina Turegano (@dr.mamina).
This dermatologist daughter explained how her age-defying mother starts each day with her skincare routine which includes an antioxidant, sunscreen, retinol, and moisturizer.
It didn't hurt that Mamina sends her what she described as some pretty sweet skincare products - she is, after all, a skin doctor.
Mom seemed to age backwards the natural way by breathing in the fresh air outside in nature.
She also knows that many of the best things in life are free - like most of her tips.
"Every morning my mom likes to do some stretching and breathing exercises along with yoga to increase her strength and flexibility," explained Mamina.
She could indeed be seen practicing various positions while looking out at the ocean.
"She also does this interesting maneuver where she hits various parts of her body - I think it's to get her circulation moving and her energy flowing. And it may just be an Asian mom thing," she said.
After stretching her arms out, mom could be seen patting areas on her back before bending over and repeating the exercise down her legs.
Her fourth tip for looking younger involves massaging her face daily with a rolling device that she keeps in her freezer.
"I think the act of massaging helps with lymphatic drainage. And the cold effect helps decrease swelling. It also can help tighten the skin," Mamina explained.
According to Real Simple, this gentle massaging maneuver that helps to drain toxins away, encourages the lymphatic system to deliver fresh nutrients to your cells.
This results in a more sculpted jawline, de-puffed face and glowing complexion that can help with improved firmness, lack of sallowness and plumpness over time.
One thing was clear - don't mess with momma and her age-defying secrets.
She also knows that you are what you eat, so she grows plenty of organic produce including cucumbers, bell peppers, okra, tomatoes, and potatoes in order to stay healthy from the inside out.
Most importantly, Mamina explained how her mom knows how to be goofy.
"She loves to make us laugh and she laughs a lot too," said the dermatologist as mom could be seen jumping around while smiling and pointing to the camera.
She had certainly gained even more fans to add to the club.
"Saving this for when I’m older," said one impressed follower.
"Bruv she looks 50 jeez," shared another in awe viewer.
"Seventy-two! Wow she is amazing - now that’s some self love. I hope I look that good when I’m older. More vids and tips," begged her top fan.
"Oh wow. I love her!" one beauty tip follower exclaimed.
