I’m 47 & always get asked about my youthful skin – a $10 anti-aging buy burns a bit but I love it, I use it twice a week
A BEAUTY fan has shared the secret to her youthful-looking skin at 47.
People always ask about her line-free skin complexion, and now she’s ready to spill the beans.
She follows a strict skincare regime, which includes a $9.50 anti-aging buy she uses twice a week.
Taye Hansberry (@tayehansberry) admitted in her viral video that it burns, but that’s not enough to put her off the product.
And it seems to be working because she looks decades younger.
Commenters on her post could hardly believe she was approaching her fifties.
“Forty-seven?? You look 26,” said one person in a view repeated by many more in her video that has gone viral.
She explained her youthful, age-defying skin was due to a well-chosen routine and products.
First thing in the morning, she washes her face, and she does an exfoliation peel at least two or three times a week.
She uses The Ordinary’s AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution, $9.50, which is described as being an “advanced-level exfoliating peel.”
“It burns a little bit, but I love it,” she said.
The Ordinary recommends it be used as a face mask and rinsed off after cleansing but before serums, oils, suspensions, or creams.
Reviewers of this product vouched for its effectiveness.
“I’m 49 with a few lines and aging texture creeping in, but this combats that for me. Love it – please don’t change it,” said one person.
After removing the peel, she moved on to a facial massage.
Taye rubbed her face with a gua sha, a smooth-edged massage tool used in traditional Chinese medicine.
She explained that the massage technique encourages good circulation and blood flow to the face.
Anti-aging tips and 'superstar' products
Dr. Anatalia Moore is a GP and skin specialist with over 11 years of clinical experience.
She told The U.S. Sun that her goal is to equip patients with the knowledge they need to take control of their skin journey.
She said the fundamental basics of a beauty routine are the same for all ages — it should include an effective cleanser, moisturizer, and SPF.
“Moisturizers are my superstar, even over products containing active ingredients,” she said.
“Finding a well-balanced moisturizer that provides the right kind of hydration, replaces natural oils, and seals them in, literally stabilizes your skin.
“This in itself quickly can soften the appearance of fine lines and texture, as often these are worsened by dehydration.
“It also allows the skin to function as it should.
“It then can heal faster, which, among many things, can lead to fewer lines and wrinkles, less flares of dermatitis and rosacea, and shorter-lived, milder breakouts.”
Dr. Moore’s skincare staples:
- Obagi Hydrate and Hydrate Lux moisturizer, $78
- Adequate sleep
- Balanced diet
- Reducing stress
“It helps your face kind of stay tight and taut. I love it,” she said.
When it was time to moisturize her skin, she noted that she prefers serums over creams.
She uses the Osea Essential Hydrating Oil, which is on the pricier side at $68.
However, the product does double duty for her because she also uses it on her eyebrows.
Taye’s video has been viewed more than 214,000 times and has received hundreds of comments.
“Wow and you aren’t using the smoothing filter? You are blessed,” said one person.
“Aging so gracefully, this is my dream,” said a second person.
“Girl you are stunning. I’m 48 and will get me a gua sha and will [start] using serum and exfoliate. Thanks for the inspiration,” wrote a third person.
