IF you struggle with blemish-prone skin or fine lines, you have probably have tried every hack in a desperate attempt to stop them from appearing.
One influencer claims to have found the secret to glowing skin though, with a DIY face mask that ‘fixes’ almost every skin complaint.
Whilst it sounds too good to be true, Alexis Dimaya swears by this skincare routine.
As a influencer on Tiktok, she has tested her fair share of products including high-end products from the likes of La Roche Posay.

“You see this? I don’t have any foundation on” she gushed in a viral Tiktok video, after years of struggling with severe acne.
Alexis added: “When I tell you that this mask is amazing, it is. You guys have to try it at home.”
For those who are curious about her beauty secret, she combines two simple ingredients for this DIY mask: flaxseed and water.
Continuing, she told her 551,000 followers: “It literally is two ingredients, and it does so much for your skin. It lightens your dark spots, fixes hyperpigmentation, tightens your skin, moisturisers…it’s even like Botox.”
Showing herself with the mask on, she revealed that the combination of the seed and little water actually becomes ‘super tight’ as you wear it and the nutrients slowly sink into your skin.
For anyone who is still unconvinced, Alexis revealed that she has been using the skincare hack for a long time and had noticed how much clearer her skin was.
“I've seen such a big difference in my skin when I started using this, I mean it,” she explained, saying: “It not only lightens my dark spots, along with other products, obviously, but it tightens my face.”
The Hawaii resident isn’t the only one to speak about how beneficial flaxseed is for the skin, with the beauty ingredient even trending on Tiktok.
She added: “It just feels like Botox. Botox in a bottle….except at home. Like, screw that hundred-dollar botox because this is amazing.
“I considered getting Botox, but then I tried using this mask and honestly don't even think about it anymore,” Alexis admitted.
She isn't wrong either, as a large bag of flaxseed costs just £2 at Sainsbury’s
If you are tempted to try this beauty hack out, you’ll need ¼ cup of whole flaxseed and 2 cups of filtered water.
Once you’ve brought the water to a boil, you’ll need to add the flaxseed and stir for a minute before bring down to a simmer.
You’ll then need to keep this heated for the next ten minutes and strain it into a glass container, so it is ready to use when cooled.
Even better, you can keep this homeopathic beauty hack for upto 2-3 weeks so long as you remember to refrigerate it.
Who says you have to spend a lot to get glowing skin?
