A beauty influencer from the US has left people stunned with her exceptionally youthful looks – and she credits several hacks for banishing wrinkles.
The content creator (gigi__333) has amassed more than 161,000 followers and one million likes since sharing her best-kept secrets for wrinkle-free skin at 57 years old.
In a round-up video of the “five things you can do to have smoother skin,” Gigi talked her followers through the lessons she’s acquired over the years.
The first unorthodox skincare routine that she adheres to is regularly shaving her face, which beauty experts support as a form of exfoliation.
By using the correct tools, beauty fans can remove the peach fuzz that sits at the surface of the skin and frequently clogs the pores.

Not only does this remove hair, but it can also remove debris, excess oil, and dead skin, immediately brightening the look of the skin.
Another tip from Gigi is to drink enough of water throughout the day to keep the skin hydrated – occasionally placing a pinch of Himalayan salt beneath the tongue.
Experts at VeryWell Health claim this hack can help people who exercise a lot boost their hydration and replenish their cells with electrolytes.
“Celtic salt or Himalayan has over 70 trace minerals that combined with water help carry the nutrients to your cells. It’s vital,” Gigi noted.
“Do this throughout the day and you’ll notice a huge difference in the condition of your skin.”
Medical bodies do warn that consuming an excess of sodium can cause complications, however, so caution is warranted.
Another widely endorsed hack for smoother-looking skin is the use of chemical exfoliants – but Gigi foregoes these products.
Instead, she still uses an exfoliant scrub, adding: “Chemical exfoliants are great but there’s nothing like a manual exfoliant on your face.”
Gigi’s clip – captioned “57 and living my best life” – garnered more nearly 50,000 likes and almost 2,000 comments, many praising the content creator for her looks.
“You are so beautiful,” wrote one viewer, while another wrote: “Your face looks flawless.”
