I’m 92 years old and still look good in a bikini – my beauty secret only costs £2.50 and I’ve used it since I was 16
AS women age, we can often spend a small fortune on skincare and anti-aging treatments.
One woman in her nineties, however, claims that she looks decades younger thanks to a classic beauty staple - and you can pick it up for a just few pounds.
Whilst most older people are avoiding social media, Joan Richmond-Woodhouse made headlines after revealing her age on Tiktok.
Despite being born in 1930, the 93-year-old looks decades younger, with some fans even demanding to see her birth certificate.
Her ageless look is even more impressive given that she spends her holidays sunbathing in bikinis with her granddaughters.
After her admission, this glam ma has gained over 35,000 fans - all of whom want to know her anti-aging secret.

Though younger generations might have a ten step skincare routine with endless expensive products, this older influencer prefers to keep things simple.
Rather than having a cupboard stacked full of skincare, this glam-ma uses a classic beauty staple: Nivea Creme.
Instead of gatekeeping her beauty secret, the content creator even made a viral video explaining how she's loved the product since she was a teen.
Filmed last year, she told her fans: "After the war, when I was about 16, Nivea cream had just come out and my friend just came to the house and she said, 'This cream has just come out. Try it, it's brilliant.,"
Having tried the classic anti-aging product, Joan was hooked and has been using it ever since.
She proudly told fans: "So I've used Nivea cream for years and years and years. Now everyone I know uses Nivea cream, too."
Understandably, her followers have been eager to recreate her ageless look and many have picked up a blue tin for themselves.
"'I'm off to buy some Nivea! You look amazing," gushed one user.
It seems that the cream has become a holy grail product for many women, with another user saying her mum had similarly staggering results.
They wrote: "My Mum is 90, everyone thinks she is 20 years younger, she also uses Nivea."
Though it may seem too good to be true, some skin experts have even backed the claim.
Scientists at Regimen Lab have even stated that the classic crème is almost identical to a eye-watering expensive anti-aging product.
When testing Nivea against celeb favourite La Mer, they found that it was nearly identical to the £2,040 cream.
Even more impressively, Nivea had the same skin hydrating benefits and outperformed the high end alternative during certain tests.
Amazingly, you can find Nivea crème in most chemists for only a few pounds, and Boots currently sell a 50ml tub for just £2.49.

If we can look as good as Joan, we might start slathering it on too!
