Numerous social media users begged Liana, who is from the UK, for her skincare routine and now, the gorgeous fiancée has set the record straight on the secrets behind her youthful look.
According to this brunette, she swears by Korean beauty - a beauty trend focused on the 'glass skin' look - for flawless skin.
Not only this, but she also got candid on the two tips she recommends to defy wrinkles - and luckily for those on a budget, they are totally free.
Showing off her 'go to everyday make-up routine' as a busy mum-of-four, Liana added concealer under her eyes, liquid bronzer to her forehead, nose and cheekbones and liquid blusher to her cheeks.
Following this, the content creator, who has ditched foundation for good, applied gel to her eyebrows and finished off her natural look with a subtle brush of eyeshadow under her lash line, as well as a touch of Vaseline on her plump pout.
But Liana's TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @bananalianas, sent social media users wild and quickly amassed 152,000 views, 15,600 likes and 252 comments in just three days.
Viewers couldn't believe their eyes at Liana's age and raced to the comments to express their thoughts.
One person said: 'You look like you're around 19-25.'
Another added: '39!! I thought you were 22.'
A third commented: 'You look mid 20s what.'

At the same time, one woman begged: 'Sis drop the skincare routine.. you look incredible.'
Meanwhile, someone else asked: 'Do you use any skincare? Because you don't have wrinkles at all.'
I think the game changer for me has been hydration and stopping vaping

In response, Liana wrote back and confirmed: 'I do use skincare, I can do a tutorial of what I use. I do have fine lines and wrinkles close up but skincare and hydration has helped minimise the look.'
Not only this, but in addition to skincare, Liana also clarified her two free tips for an age-defying complexion, as she added: 'I think the game changer for me has been hydration and stopping vaping.'
Biggest skincare trends for 2025
Face The Future's Head of Clinic, Kimberley Medd, shared the five skincare trends predicted to take off in 2025.
1. Exosomes
Exosomes are the buzzword for 2025, taking advanced skin regeneration to new heights. These micro-messengers signal skin cells to repair damage, boost collagen, and accelerate recovery, and they're a gamechanger for targeting ageing.
2. Streamlined Skincare
The age of 12-step routines is fading as consumers shift to more intentional, multi-functional products. Streamlining skincare not only saves time but also reduces the risk of overloading your skin. In 2025, we'll see a rise in hybrid products that combine active ingredients for simplified, effective results.
3. Vegan Collagen
Plant-based collagen will dominate the skincare world this year, providing a sustainable, ethical alternative to traditional animal-derived collagen. Expect vegan collagen in everything from moisturisers to serums.
4. The Rise Of AI
AI is revolutionising the beauty landscape, making it possible for consumers to get truly personalised skincare solutions. In 2025, we predict a dramatic shift towards AI-powered tools that help people understand their skin on a deeper level.
5. Hair Loss Solutions -
Hair loss is an issue that affects more men than we often realise, and it's no longer just something we're talking about behind closed doors. This year, expect to see a continued rise in demand for treatments that not only tackle hair loss but also nurture overall scalp health.
Liana's five-step skincare routine
Moments later, the mother posted a short clip showing off her game-changing skincare routine, leaving many gobsmacked.
First things first, she used the COSRX 6 Peptide Skin Booster, which works to improve skin elasticity, fine lines, pores and radiance and is now reduced to £18.90 on Amazon.
Following this, Liana applied the K-SECRET Seoul 1988 Retinal Eye Cream, which has been slashed to £10.99 and the K-SECRET Seoul Retinal Serum, which shoppers can nab for £13.46.

After this, the mother applied the Mary&May Under Eye Cream, which is on sale for £7.46 and works to reduce dark circles and improve uneven skin tone.
For the fourth step in her routine, Liana used the Corsx Advanced 96 Snail Mucin Power Essence, which is a number one best seller on Amazon and is now available for only £16.
The bargain buy repairs and rejuvenates the skin from dryness and ageing, whilst giving a natural and healthy glow.
To finish off her five-step routine, Liana used a gua sha to sculpt her face.
Showing off her flawless skin, the mother beamed: 'All done, skin is looking dewy and glowy.'

I lived on a cruise ship – we got no days off but you did get free food and didn't have to pay tax or rent
Scroll down to find out what Anaya thinks is "literally insane" about living on a cruise ship OCEAN OVERTIME I lived on a cruise ship – we got no days off but you did get free food and didn't have to pay tax or rent A TRAVEL fan has revealed what it was really like to live and work on a cruise ship. Anaya Daisy, who is currently exploring Thailand but was previously working on a cruise ship in the shore excursions department, claimed that during her stint on the ship, she never got any days off. Advertisement 2 A young woman has revealed all about living on a cruise ship Credit: TikTok/@ 2 Anaya Daisy expressed that she didn't get any days off during her time at sea but did get free food Credit: TikTok/@ Despite this, she revealed the benefits to living on a cruise ship and explained that not only was the food free, but she didn't have to pay any rent or tax either. Posting on social media, the brunette got candid on cruise ship life, as she said: 'Do you get days off while working on a cruise ship? Now, this is a question I get asked quite a lot, both by people off the ship and then guests that are actually on the ship, but the answer, unfortunately, is no, we don't get any days off.' Anaya explained that 'most of the crew' don't get any days off, as it is 'an unwritten rule' that you work the entirety of your contract. The content creator, who doesn't have to pay tax whilst on board, acknowledged that contracts can range from anywhere for three months up to nine months. Advertisement She added: 'Because the cruise is running nearly every day of the year, we can't have any days off because obviously, we're gonna have passengers, and who's gonna look after the passengers if everyone's having days off? 'Yes, this does sound like a lot, and yes, it sometimes does feel like a lot, but even though we're working seven days a week, that doesn't necessarily mean that you're gonna be working all of the entire day.' Anaya then expressed that rather than having a day off, many departments will get the middle of the day off to relax and explore the cruise ship. Her hours vary, but she never works more than 10 hours a day. Advertisement But Anaya, who gets free food onboard and is allowed to eat at the crew buffet, isn't bothered by never having a full day off, as she claimed that there are 'so many perks of working on a cruise ship.' In particular, for Anaya, who lives in a 'basic' but free shared accommodation with bunk beds, waking up in a different country every day is something she finds 'literally insane.' I 'live' on a cruise ship with my son & fiancé - the food's amazing, there's childcare & our laundry's done for free too Not only this, but she then continued: 'Although that's not a full day off, you're still getting time to actually enjoy the ports that we're going to and enjoy the countries that we're visiting. 'It might sound kind of crazy that we don't have any days off, especially if you have a really long contract, but you just get used to it after a bit and I suppose it's the price you pay for seeing the world, so, yeah, I really don't mind.' Advertisement Social media users react Anaya's TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 94,300 views, 3,220 likes and 107 comments. Social media users were stunned by Anaya's full on work life on the ship and many were eager to know more about life on board. It might sound kind of crazy that we don't have any days off, especially if you have a really long contract, but you just get used to it after a bit Anaya Daisy One person said: 'Up to nine months without a day off is crazy!' Another added: 'Love the ship content.' Advertisement A third commented: 'That sounds so full on, sounds amazing though.' Pros and cons of going on a cruise ship Whether you're considering a long holiday, working remotely or even living on board a cruise ship for a few months or years, here are the pros and cons from a former cruise shipper. Pros Travel the world, learn and experience new cultures Meet new people Don't have to think or worry about room cleaning, or food Cons Internet connection can be painfully slow and expensive Limited luggage allowance so have to wear the same clothes on rotation Having no control of where the ship would go next and the possibility of visiting the same ports Having the same onboard entertainment, on-demand movies, and little choice of TV channels No fresh newspapers or new books unless someone adds them to the library Relatively the same food week after week unless major menu changes occur seasonally. Occasional rough seas, bad weather and viral outbreaks while inboard. Meanwhile, one user asked: 'Genuine question because I want to work on a cruise but how do you see the world if you don't get a day off?' To this, Anaya confirmed: 'Because sometimes we have breaks off in the middle of the day and I work in the excursions department so I spend a lot of time on the trips and seeing the places that way.' At the same time, someone else questioned: 'What happens if you get really sick?' Advertisement Setting the record straight, Anaya explained: 'You would see the medical centre if you were ill. If they thought you were too sick to work then you'd get 'signed off'. If you've not been signed off by medical then you'd still have to work.' Not only this, but one person wondered: 'How common is cheating?' Anaya then confirmed: 'Hmmmm, VERY!!'

"You were so patient and gentle with the kids and we all learned so much from you. "The house feels empty without you in it.

If you're going to get dumped, doing so at the altar is for the best
If there was ever a good way to get dumped, it probably isn't at the altar on your wedding day. That's what we'd all assume, at least. There could be nothing worse, surely, than inviting all your friends and family to a celebration that has emptied your pockets only to be left standing alone in an overpriced gown, wondering if your beloved is ever coming down the aisle, and finding out they are not. Well, it happened to Kayley Stead, a Welsh woman who has gone viral on TikTok after sharing the speech she gave after being jilted on her big day in 2022. It turned out to be one of the best things that had ever happened to her, she said. Rather than cancelling the wedding, Stead decided to go ahead, turning the event into a celebration of herself, even delivering an off-the-cuff speech about self-love. Marking the moment with a commemorative TikTok that has had more than 7.6 million views, Stead shared a series of clips featuring herself cutting into her three-tiered wedding cake, dancing with friends, and enjoying herself despite the unlikely circumstances. 'I had to look back on this day for this butterfly effect trend,' she wrote in the caption, referring to the term about how unexpected changes and circumstances can lead to major life transformations, and which has become a big summer trend on TikTok. 'This day will forever be a part of me, not because I was left on my wedding day, but for the fact that I persevered and created a memory with so many loved ones,' she added. 'A day that will continue shaping me for the rest of my life.' Who knew that getting dumped on your wedding day could be so wonderful? Frankly, there are no good ways for someone to end a relationship with you. But doing it in a setting where you're already surrounded by friends and family, with all the pomp and pageantry required to have a commiseration-slash-celebration afterwards, does make some sense. I'm not saying I'd like to be dumped that way, though there have been some instances where it might've been preferable. Or at least a little more inventive. Like the time when my first boyfriend decided to dump me via voicemail. I was 13, and our relationship had thus far amounted to a few snogs and some hand-holding. But still: it stung. There was also the time a guy I was seeing decided to end things with me at The World's End pub (how apt!) in Camden after asking me what I liked about our relationship and letting me rave about him for 40 minutes before admitting he wasn't happy. Sometimes, the best way to be dumped is when it's quick and dirty, like ripping off a plaster. That was the case for a friend whose boyfriend ended their relationship out of the blue, midway through a conversation about attending his sister's upcoming wedding. They'd talked about what dress she'd wear and whether it was appropriate. He helped her choose a dress and then told her their relationship was over, proceeding to pack the empty rucksack he'd brought with his belongings. It was sudden and, at the time, horrific. But in retrospect, the brutality of it helped her to move on quickly. Another friend was dumped with such flair that he considers it one of the most incredible things ever to happen to him. 'It was 1998 and I was in the throes of first love,' he recalled to me via text. 'Having started our relationship on the Eurostar on the way to Paris (for a school trip), we went out for four months, two of which she spent in her native Italy. During her time away, she'd send letters signing off 'te amo.' Then one day a letter arrived, out of the blue, suggesting we go our separate ways. No 'te amo,' just an 'arrivederci'.' Ultimately, there is no really good way for someone to end a relationship with you. It's always going to hurt. And sometimes it will seem as if the ground has just been pulled from underneath you, and all of the joy has drained from your life. But as far as picking your poison goes, would you rather get dumped over a three-hour conversation in a dingy pub? Or with all of your loved ones nearby, waiting to scoop you up and show you how much better off you are without them? I know which one I'd pick.
