Reddit user Maleficent Bet-3197 shared the anti-aging tips in a post.
Beauty, she explained, comes from within. And she meant that literally.
“Consider adding a hydrolyzed collagen supplement to your diet,” she advised.
“I have been addicted to skin care since puberty and at 35 I still have no wrinkles, but I did notice a slight line between my eyebrows.”
She tried collagen supplements for a while in her 20s and noticed a big difference when she added them back into her routine.
“Within a month I saw improvements in my skin (it glows and looks very full and vital) and there is not even a trace of a line between my eyebrows anymore,” she said.
“That stuff is a miracle cure (and it helped with all my joint pain too).”
Other self-care measures that have helped her include drinking more water and adding hyaluronic acid supplements to her diet.
She explained that the supplements help the body hydrate “more efficiently.”
She added that applying hyaluronic acid topically can plump the skin.
“The Ordinary is a beautiful, affordable model that I’ve been using for several years!” she said.
“I wash my face, gently pat it dry so there’s still some moisture left, and then apply the serum and gently rub it into my skin. It really helps hydrate your skin!”
Her most important tip, however, is to take preventive measures, such as applying sunscreen every day, to prevent wrinkles.
“I would also recommend wearing an SPF 50 sunscreen every day,” she said.

Dr. Anatalia Moore is a general practitioner and skin specialist with more than 11 years of clinical experience.
She told The US Sun that her goal is to empower patients with the knowledge they need to take control of their skin journey.
She said the basic principles of a beauty routine are the same for all ages: it should include an effective cleanser, moisturizer and SPF.
“For me, moisturizers are super important, even in place of products with active ingredients,” she said.
“Finding a well-balanced moisturizer that provides the right amount of hydration, replaces natural oils and seals them in, literally stabilizes your skin.
“This in itself can quickly soften the appearance of fine lines and texture, as these are often worsened by dehydration.
“It also ensures that the skin can function as it should.
“This allows it to heal faster, which can lead to fewer lines and wrinkles, fewer flare-ups of dermatitis and rosacea, and shorter-lasting, milder breakouts.”
Dr. Moore’s skin care products:
The skincare enthusiast raved about the benefits of tretinoin, which she described as “the best anti-aging ingredient” aside from sunscreen.
Although she says it takes some time to get used to the treatment, it is worth it in the long run.
The Redditor swore by tretinoin, saying it was so effective that it kept her friends from getting cosmetic procedures.
“I have friends who got Botox, started with tretinoin and eventually stopped because tretinoin lightened their problem areas,” she said.
She added that anyone who doesn’t use tretinoin is making a big mistake.
“Everyone’s skin is different, but if you can use tretinoin, it would be foolish not to!” she said.
