'I look 20 years younger thanks to one simple 20p lifestyle trick'
A woman has shared some of her top secret home remedies to help slash years off her age and keep her looking youthful - and they can all be done for as little as 20p A woman has revealed her secret to looking youthful - and it's not down to having anti-wrinkle injections. TikToker Zareefa has shared some of her home remedies she swears by, and some cost her just 20p. Zareefa, who goes by the name @byzareefa says she's never had Botox or fillers, and instead ops for some natural anti-ageing tricks instead which have been passed down through generations. The 34-year-old wellness influencer boasts nearly 300,000 followers on TikTok, and left them amazed by her stunning transformation. Now she's shared her secrets with her followers on how to take decades off her appearance. Zareefa captioned the post: "POV: you reversed your age using at home remedies". She started off by speaking about a flax seed facemask. The viral mask was nicknamed "Botox at home" by TikTokers who swear by the remedy and Zareefa said: "I took a TikTok face mask and made it 10 times better. "You're literally erasing dark spots and plumping up fine lines. I haven't had any injectables, and I'm 34," she gushed. The simple face mask is just one tablespoon of flaxseed meal and half a cup of boiling water. Mix together and leave for around 30 minutes to an hour until it forms a jelly consistency. The wellness guru then adds a pump of a dead see mud serum to supercharge the mask, targeting hyperpigmentation, texture, and breakouts all at once. After applying and washing off, Zareefa said she's left with "literal glass skin". Zareefa then revealed she swears by eggshell membrane to help reverse ageing too. She insists that the slimy skin stuck to the inside of your boiled eggs is her secret weapon. She believes it helps wiyh plump skin, glossy hair, and strong joints, thanks to its powerful combo of collagen, hyaluronic acid, and elastin. "Sometimes I add it to my smoothies, but most of the time I just eat it with the egg," she said. While it may sound strange, there is actual science to back up her claims as studies show the natural supplement can boost skin elasticity and reduce wrinkles in just a few weeks and ancient cultures even used it to heal wounds and regenerate tissue. Finally, the TikToker hailed the use of "banana peel Botox". She claimed the fruit peel can work just like Botox as it's full of lutein, a powerful antioxidant also found in spinach and kale, the peel helps brighten skin, reduce wrinkles, and fade dark spots. What's better, they can cost just 20p. Zareefa recommends rubbing the inside of the peel on your skin and leaving it on for ten minutes before rinsing and said it's a trick her mum used to do every time they had bananas. 'She'd make us eat the banana and use the peel on her face!' She said and told her fans to do it a few times a week and they will notice a "dramatic difference" in hydration, texture and radiance. Calling it a preventative Botox, she added: "you're not going to need any injectables if you're doing this consistently". People were loving her clever tricks, as one fan commented: "one of the best transformations I've seen. you're glowing and absolutely beautiful."

Can Your Water Bottle Boost Your Skin Health? Try This Viral "Beautifying" Water Recipe
Does your skin look dull without makeup? Does your face often appear puffy or bloated? If the answer is yes, it's not completely normal for skin to look tired looking without makeup. While makeup can enhance our features and beauty, even without makeup, you can get naturally healthy and plump skin. How? Increasing hydration can boost skin health.

This easy-to-make drink is loaded with antioxidants and skin-loving nutrients. It helps hydrate your body deeply, flush out toxins, reduce signs of ageing, and boost collagen production. For the unversed, collagen is a key structural protein that maintains skin elasticity and hydration. It also supports hair, nails, and skin by forming proteins like keratin. How To Make "Beautifying" Water At Home | Simple "Beautifying" Water Recipe For Glowing Skin Take a glass bottle and add 700 ml of warm water to it. Now mix in 1 tbsp chia seeds and juice of one lemon. Add 1 tbsp goji berries. Stir everything well and your "beautifying" water is ready. View this post on Instagram A post shared by zareefa ahmed-arije (@byzareefa) How Each Ingredient Enhances Your Skin Health: 1. Warm Water Our skin is made up of around 30 per cent water. Drinking warm water keeps our skin hydrated, improves elasticity and reduces dryness and flakiness. It acts as a natural internal moisturizer. 2. Chia Seeds Chia seeds have a natural cooling effect and are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which help reduce skin inflammation and irritation. The antioxidants present in chia seeds help fight free radical damage, potentially preventing premature ageing, wrinkles, and fine lines.

According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), lemons also contain citric acid that helps exfoliate dead skin cells, leading to a clearer, brighter complexion. 4. Goji Berries In her video, Zareefa explains that goji berries are packed with vitamin C and antioxidants. They help stimulate collagen production, protect skin from UV damage, and their vitamin A content promotes a youthful, plump look while minimising signs of ageing. How To Drink It For Best Results For a detoxifying flush, Zareefa recommends drinking this water on an empty stomach. If you're aiming for steady skin-enhancing benefits, sip it gradually throughout the day. Of course, no single drink is a miracle cure. Combine this hydrating recipe with a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle to support long-term skin health and radiance.
