Whether you're in your early 20s or late 60s (and beyond), looking after your skin is vital if you want to maintain a youthful appearance.

Since knowing her partner’s mother, Hayley (@thehayleyway on TikTok) has noticed that her routine has transformed since incorporating her habits. And it clearly works, with skin care enthusiasts describing her face as “flawless”.
“I now feel like it’s time to share the wealth with this community,” the influencer stated, telling followers her body care for “eternal youth”.
Raving about her mother-in-law’s youthful look, the creator said it was “crazy” that she looks so young yet has lived in the south of France her entire life.
Divulging one of her mother-in-law's skin care tips, Hayley said: “Her secret is that every couple of days -there’s no exact formula - she will switch out her body lotion for aloe vera.”

For thousands of years, aloe vera gel has been hailed as the “plant of immortality”, according to consultant dermatologist Dr Derrick Phillips.
Most well-known for its sure-fire guarantee to soothe burns and inflammation, the evergreen perennial has been dubbed a “cure-all”, from irritation to wrinkles.
Most recently, aloe vera has been raising its head above the parapet as it edges towards the cosmetic aisle thanks to its naturally moisturising properties.
For body lotion, Hayley said that she and her mother-in-law both use an emollient cream, which “absorbs really quickly”, leaving a “sheen” rather than a shimmer.

Emollients assist with softening and smoothing out the skin by creating a protective barrier, aiding hydration and decreasing water loss.
One follower rushed to the comments to back Hayley’s claim, saying: “I’m from Italy and my mum has been using it on me since I was born.
“It’s perfect for sensitive skin and really moisturises the skin on a deeper level.”
Another raved about her mother-in-law’s look, exclaiming: “I wasn’t expecting to be so shocked, but 80?! Running for the aloe gel right now.”
