My mum’s 51 but could be decades younger – I used a £16 kit to make her eyebrows pop, now people say she looks 24
AYLEN Park’s mum has become a social media sensation for her anti-ageing hacks and timeless skincare tips.
And never one to shy away from an unconventional beauty treatment, the 51-year-old has now laminated her brows to see if it would shave years off her face.
Spoiler alert: people think it made the mum-of-one look over 25 years younger.
Aylen’s mum, who is from Korea, is often mistaken for a 30-year-old due to her flawless and glowy skin.
But an at home brow lamination session gave the social media star an instant eye lift, duly making her look even younger.
Brow lamination is a perm for the eyebrows, during which a variety of solutions straighten the hairs and fix them in place like a hard-wearing gel would.

Lamination can survive the elements for weeks at a time, making it a more permanent solution than tints and make-up.
“Brow lamination is a process of restructuring the brow hairs to keep them in a desired shape,” Natalie Piper, international trainer at the Eyelash Design Company, told British Vogue.
“It’s the perfect treatment for anyone whose hairs are irregular in direction, who has any gaps in between said hairs, or who wants that groomed, brushed-up look.”
Aylen, 22, and her mum used an over-the-counter kit to create that smooth and contoured brow lift without the salon cost.

“My mum doesn’t have a lot of eyebrows,” Aylen said in their Instagram tutorial.
“So, she wants to make them fuller by bringing them up.”
Aylen noted that her mum is “missing a lot of eyebrow hair”, which the 51-year-old put down to ageing.
After the first brow, the pair noted that the lamination gave Aylen’s mum “an eye lift” and “looked like a tattoo” it was so frozen in place.
After the second, they were both gasping at the result.
“I was not expecting it to turn out so good,” Aylen said.
“Doesn’t it look so professionally done?
“Look at her brows! They turned out so good.”
Aylen’s mum joked that she “didn’t know she had so much hair”.
Their video went viral on Instagram, with fans of the mum-and-daughter duo gushing over Aylen’s mum “going from 32 to 24” with her new brows.
“I didn’t know it was possible to make your mum look even younger,” one penned.
