A TIKTOKER has claimed that her skincare routine helps her look 10 years younger than her age.
The 28-year-old revealed her beauty tips, saying they are the only two products proven to reverse aging.
Natalie O'Neill (@natalie_oneillll) filmed herself talking about her routine in a video on TikTok.
"I got ID'd for buying scissors in Poundland yesterday and I'm nearly 28," she said.
Poundland, a UK-retail chain, follows local law prohibiting the sale of scissors to minors under 18 years old.
She listed out the anti-aging remedies she swears by to stay looking young.
First, she proposed a beauty solution starting from the inside out — restricting sugar intake.
"The first thing that I do is I have a low sugar diet. Not a lot of people know this, but sugar contributes massively. Basically a high sugar diet causes collagen breakdown in the long term," she said.
She also advised getting enough sleep to improve overall health and aging.
"Number two is sleep. I put sleep first. Sleep hygiene is really important. I know it's really boring, but I sleep at least seven hours a night," she said.

She also recommended a skincare product that is typically obtained with a prescription in the US.
"Thirdly, and probably one of the biggest things, is retinoids. I use retinoids. This is the one that I use. It's Tretinoin by Dermatica.
"Retinoids are the only thing other than sunscreen that are actually proven to reverse the signs of photo aging and slow photo aging as a whole," she said.
Finally, Natalie showed a photo of herself from five years ago, saying she used to wear sunscreen but not enough.
She clearly had many more freckles on her face in the throwback photo.
"Now I use all different kinds of SPF 50 and I use it religiously everyday. And when I go on holiday I wear the SPF and I don't even put my face in the sun," she said.
The video drew in many viewers to the comment section, with one writing: "I always forget you’re not like 19."
"I forget that people forget that," Natalie replied.
