A 35-year-old woman said she is constantly mistaken for a 12-year-old girl, thanks to a trick that cost £3.99.
Krystn Walmsley revealed that every time she talks about her wrinkle-removing trick, she is criticized for being a child when talking about wrinkles.
“The irony is that I’m 35 years old,” she said in a TikTok video.
“And no, it’s not Botox.”
In a second video, Krystn explained that her youthful complexion is thanks to silicone scar sheets.
She said they are designed to promote collagen production and added that she has been using them to cover her face.

Collagen helps give structure and elasticity to the skin, thus helping to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Krystn explains that she applies the tape to her face after doing her evening skincare routine.
She added that as part of her skincare routine, she applies castor oil under her eyes, which is an antioxidant that can help slow the aging process.
Krystn explained that she relaxes her forehead muscles and then places a sheet of tape horizontally across her forehead.
“The goal is to prevent the muscles from contracting, to retrain them so that they don’t get used to using them so often,” he explains.
She added that she puts tape over her mouth to avoid expression lines and between her eyebrows to avoid the 11 lines.
Krystn said you can also put tape around your neck to prevent “tech neck,” though she hasn’t tried that yet.
She said she uses the tape three to five times a week and keeps it on overnight.
Silicone scar sheets can be purchased for as little as £3.98 on Amazon.
The importance of sunscreen in your skin care routine
Dermatologist and skincare enthusiast Andrea Suarez, aka Dr. Dray, revealed why you should be using sunscreen.
The one thing you can do that will make the biggest difference, and this is important for all ages, is to protect your skin from the sun, Andrea emphasized.
“The vast majority of external aging is due to exposure to UV radiation,” she continued, not because “you don’t use a flashy serum or put 90 different things on your face every day.”
“If you didn’t do it when you were 20, do it now.”
But she said using sunscreen alone is not enough. Andrea urged people to also wear sun-protective clothing, such as wide-brimmed hats and long sleeves, as well as not staying out in the sun for too long.
Doing this throughout your life (and all year round, not just in the summer or on sunny days) “will reduce the visible signs of photoaging,” Andrea said.
These are wrinkles, blurred pigmentation and sagging skin.
Krystn’s video has likely left many people impressed as it has racked up over 1.3 million views on the video-sharing platform.
TikTok users rushed to the comments section of the video to share their thoughts.
One person said: “I use this to cover my mouth and my lips have become much fuller.”
Another person said: “I just ordered some.
“My neck will be completely covered every night!”
A third person said: “Your skin is amazing!”
A fourth person added: “This is fantastic information, thanks doll for your tips.”
