The mum, who was filmed by her daughter for a TikTok video, revealed that she uses three products on a daily basis.
The video was shared on the daughter’s account called @mondayprojectco and it has since gone viral with over 1.3 million views.
The daughter, who is a personal stylist and shopper, can be heard first asking her mum if the skincare routine is expensive?
The mum replied that it was “very inexpensive.”
She first revealed that she uses Redwin Sorbolene as a cleanser, and will usually buy a big tub of it which can be bought from eBay for around £7.52.
This is usually in a bodywash form and helps to restore with its fragrant and soap free liquid which also has vitamin E in it.
She also uses an SPF 50 and applies it on her skin three times a day in the summer.
The mum says: “Sunscreen everyday. SPF 50 two or three times a day in the summer. You need to keep that going in the summer.”
She then reveals that she uses NIVEA creme, which comes in a blue tub.
This can be bought from stores including Boots, for £1.49.
Speaking about the cream, the mum says: “That is all I've used for 40 years.”
In the comments section, the daughter also said that she reapplies suncream to her face three times a day when she gardens.
The viral TikTok video had many fans rushing to the comments section to share their thoughts.
Many wanted to get their hands on her skincare products as she looks so great.

One added: “I'm 66, no wrinkles use sorbolene, only the expensive products dry your face out and make you buy more and more expensive creams to ‘fix’ it.”
Someone else wrote: “My grandma was 77 when she passed away and her entire life she used Nivea.
“I still have her Nivea and her fingerprints in it.”
Another asked: “So she washes her makeup off three times a day to reapply sunscreen?”
To which the daughter replied: “Let me check. She doesn’t wear makeup unless she is going out.I think a lot of the reapplication is gardening.”
A beauty fan added: “I use that Nivea cream. I read an article comparing the Nivea cream against a very expensive cream.
“Nivea had as much moisture content as the expensive one and it’s about $10.”
How to reverse ageing in just 2 weeks, according to royal go-to nutritionist
LONDON -based Gabriela Peacock, who has helped the likes of Prince Harry and Princess Eugenie prepare for their weddings.
She told Fabulous: “The science is evident that we all have the power to make simple life changing alterations to better our future selves - no matter what genetic hand we might have been dealt with.
“The reality is, we all sometimes indulge in unhealthy eating habits like processed foods, smoking cigarettes, drinking too much alcohol, inhaling city pollutants, and even drinking water from plastic bottles – none of this is good for us.
“All this does is promote the ageing process, but we all have the potential to change this.”
It may be hard, but try to keep away from sugary carbohydrates, because they feed chronic inflammation, which is one of the worst enemies of reversing ageing.
Now only will you end up putting on weight if you consume them regularly, but your energy and hormonal levels will be affected and this will influence how you look and feel.
Whatever your age or state of health, it’s never too late to reverse how quickly you are ageing and embrace the energy and vigour of a younger you.
Antioxidants, such as vitamins A, C, and E, are essential in neutralising free radicals—the culprits behind premature ageing.
Integrating a spectrum of colourful fruits and vegetables into your diet provides a potent source of antioxidants.
Omega-3 fatty acids, abundant in fatty fish like salmon and flaxseeds, are vital for maintaining skin elasticity and hydration.
Omega-3s act as nourishment for your skin, locking in moisture and diminishing fine lines and wrinkles.
Collagen, a structural protein dwindling with age, can be replenished through collagen-rich foods like bone broth and lean protein sources.
