A WOMAN who is in her 40s but is constantly told she looks 20 has revealed the £4 secret to her youthful glow.
Maggie Rose, 41, has no wrinkles or fine lines and claims she doesn’t get Botox or fillers.
Instead, Maggie takes a more natural approach and uses TikTok to share her top tips for aging backwards.
In response to a comment from a TikTok user who told Maggie she looks 20, she said: “I’m turning 42 next month, these are my tips for beautiful skin.”
Maggie said her first tip is to support the skin ‘from within’.
She revealed that she uses a product called Chloline, which helps your body produce its own collagen.

You can buy Choline powder for just £1.49 from Amazon and mix it with your morning smoothie or protein powder.

Another recommendation from Maggie is to make sure you wash your face with filtered water.
She said: ‘There is so much rubbish and chlorine in our water.
“That alone could help many people’s dehydration and skin problems.”
Finally, Maggie said she applied Castor OilRosehip Oil and Bakuchiol daily, all of which can be purchased online for just £4.
“Pretty much everything that happens on my face is natural,” she said.
Maggie’s (@maggieroselawyer) video has probably left a lot of people impressed as it has been viewed over 246,000 times on the video sharing platform.
TikTok users rushed to the video’s comments section to share their thoughts.
