She says her beauty treatment can prevent wrinkles and build collagen.

Ashley S Mixon (@ashleymixon) mixes the elixir herself and it contains one ingredient that she calls her “filler in a bottle.”

Ashely, who has 452,000 fans on her TikTok, called her mixture her “afterglow.”

“For all my lovelies out there, it's not Botox,” she gushed afterwhile preparing her skin tonic.

“If it could paralyze the muscle, I certainly wouldn't do this for free.”

She used a long range of ingredients and explained to viewers the benefits of each one.

“It helps prevent water loss through the skin and helps minimize the appearance of wrinkles,” she wrote.

It is also said to help: “prevent skin irritation, redness, allergies and tissue inflammation.”

Myrrh

One of the three kings brought this stuff to Bethlehem. But a new generation of beauty enthusiasts is discovering its special qualities.

Ashley wrote: “It kills harmful bacteria and heals wounds. It is more effective than vitamin E.”

She had another tip: “Sunscreen SPF 15 added to myrrh oil is more effective at blocking ultraviolet rays.”

But she warned it was NOT safe for pregnancy.

Helichrysum

She thought this oil was “perfect for aging gracefully.”

There were many benefits: “It contains several beneficial antioxidants that can stimulate the production of collagen and elastin in your skin.

“It also helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and dark spots as you age,” she wrote.

Sea buckthorn oil

She said this contains vitamin K, which promotes collagen production for plumper skin and fewer wrinkles.

Volufiline

She admitted that there was a lot of “controversy” surrounding this product, but she was a big fan.

As far as she was concerned, it was 'filler in a bottle'.

“It promotes body volume through a cosmetic lipofilling-like effect,” she explained.

“A lot of people like to put it around their eyes. I like to put it on my temples. You only need a little bit, I mix it with my moisturizer.”

Frankinense

This was also brought to Bethlehem by one of the three kings and now it's “all the rage,” Ashely said. “Everyone uses it.”

There were many benefits to it: “It helps with hydration and moisture, aids the skin's ability to retain moisture and is a good choice for dry and aging skin.

“It can be beneficial for patients with skin conditions such as eczema. An all-round great essential oil.”

Pomegranate seed oil

This ingredient contained many antioxidants. It makes pomegranates one of the “most powerful, graceful aging ingredients,” Ashley wrote.

“It's effective on age spots and sun damage. Great for plumping skin. Just a dream oil.”

Korean red ginseng extract

This has been used for centuries. It helps skin maintain its youthful appearance by restoring its natural protective barrier and reducing inflammation.

There was more: “It helps reduce the signs of aging and brightens your complexion. It also stimulates circulation which increases collagen production. It has been used for centuries,” Ashley wrote.

Farmstay Snail Soothing Gel

It may not sound very appetizing, but beauty lovers love this product.

“This 100% snail secretion extract provides rich nutrition and moisture,” she said. “It improves the elasticity and radiance of the skin. The skin is firmer, smoother and healthier.”

She mixed all the ingredients in a bowl. The finished concoction was placed in jars and stored in the refrigerator.

She was very happy with the results: “It smells really nice and feels so good.

“You could use it as a moisturizer. It's natural and gives you glassy skin,” she concluded.

Fans were convinced and wanted to try it out for themselves.

“Omg I'm definitely going to try this,” said one.

Another said: “You're my skincare mom, thank you for keeping me in skincare.”
