AN aesthetic nurse has put her knowledge to good use and turned back the clock.
She's 32 but has declined over the past six years – and she's revealed how she did it.
This Texan lady listed the changes that have had an impact, but don't make a TikTok mistake, she warned.
Adriana Culling (@the_austin_injector) has 14,000 followers on the video sharing platform.
She is unapologetic about her love of beauty with the touch of a needle, and fans love her honesty.
Adriana demonstrated the difference her skincare routine has made by posting two photos in one of hers to inform.
One was made in 2018 and the other recently.
“Mine untouched [younger face]', she said. 'And my 32-year-old face was hit with a lot of filler, Botox, micro-needling, chemical peels and good skin care.'
She shows no signs of changing her anti-aging routine.
“Because it makes me feel good and I still look 'natural,'” she said.

“I love my face at both stages of life. I may be biased, but I think you can look natural and feel your best with some Botox and filler,” she wrote.
Fans were eager to know how Adriana achieved her age-defying looks.
“All the things I've done to my face that I think make a difference,” she said in another of hers to inform.
She admits that she is fortunate to be able to afford these treatments because of her career and business.
“I'm an aesthetic nurse so I have more access to this stuff,” she wrote.
“But I want to give you a list of things that I think have had an impact,” she said.
Some things were non-negotiable, as she explained, “I wouldn't give up Desport or Botox.
“I do my Desport every five months. I do my full face, my upper face, my lower face and my platysma [neck area].”
The consistency with the skin is tremendous.

There was no area left untouched and she also had filler in her mid-face and under her eyes.
But she attributed all this work to her radiant and youthful face.
“I think these, along with my skincare routine and probably microneedling, are the things that have made the biggest impact on my face,” she said.
Microneedling is a process that stimulates the skin's healing process, causing more collagen and elastin to be produced.
Don't forget basic skin care, she said.
“The consistency with the skin is huge. And it takes time and I think that's the biggest thing I see people mess up with,” she warned.
“They use too many products, they change them all the time, they see a trend on TikTok,” she wrote.
“In general, I recommend starting very simple with adding things depending on what your skin needs.”
Commenters were in awe of how great she looked.
“That's a glow-up, ma'am. Wow,” someone said.
“You look great. Filler and Botox don't have to be bad. I love it,” said another.
And her candor was appreciated by someone else when they wrote: 'I love the honesty. Thanks for sharing. You look great.”
