‘I’m 35 but people think I’m a teenager because of my savvy anti-ageing hack that takes less than two minutes’
A woman in her mid-thirties claims that she’s often mistaken for a teenager due to her savvy anti-ageing hack.
Krystn Walmsley is constantly batting off comments saying she shouldn’t be sharing tips to get rid of wrinkles as she’s too young.
But in fact, the content creator is 35 years old.
While she thanks her youthful looks for having a “round face and full cheeks”, there’s another trick up her sleeve.
In a clip, racking up 2.2m views and over 123,000 likes, she reveals the $17 (USD) (£12.99) hack.
“I started noticing wrinkles around the age of 33, but only when I wore makeup,” she told What's The Jam.
“So I researched home remedies and treatment.
“I’ve been using silicone sheets after my doctor recommended them.
“I’ve only been doing this for a few months, but the results are immediate.
“Sometimes it’s annoying [being mistaken for a teen] because I don’t really like to talk about myself.
“I recall being denied purchasing [alcohol] on several occasions.
“But I try to be thankful because I know so many women wished they were younger looking, too.”
In the viral video, she speaks about how the tapes work.
She starts by saying: “Stop wasting your money on expensive face tape.”
Silicone scar tape works by preventing the use of facial muscles that are commonly moved when frowning or smiling.
It also promotes collagen production, which helps to fade and soften scars and traps moisture underneath, adding a layer of hydration.
Not only that, the tapes are reusable.
Krystn advises wearing them at night, as this gives enough time to retrain the muscles not to activate.
She says: “Remember, the uglier you go to bed, the prettier you’ll wake up.”
