A grandmother, aged 92, who looks "30 years younger" than she actually is has revealed what she uses on her skin to keep herself looking so refreshed - and it only costs €7.

Joan Woodhouse, @joansumner1930, has been garnering a lot of attention on her TikTok account and people are in shock after she revealed what age she is.

Viewers were leaving comments under most of her videos begging to know what she has been using on her skin as she looks so much younger than 92, and finally she revealed all.

Taking to her account, she shared that it is all down to a very affordable cream that is sold in most Irish supermarkets and pharmacies.

One of her fans asked: "You look amazing, I can’t believe it!! What is your secret??"

She replied and said that for the past seven decades, she has been using the same moisturiser: "My secret’s Nivea because I’ve used it for 70-odd years.

"When I think about it now, I used to have a hot bath, get out of the bath, dry myself, and then while my body was still hot, I would put the cream on - it was the soft cream in those days, it was harder. So I had to warm it first to make it soft.

"But since the soft stuff came out, it’s wonderful, you could do that for your body every time you have a bath or shower.

"Get your body warm, and spread it all over, and you’ll look beautiful when you’re my age."

Her followers rushed to the comments and shared how their grandparents have relied on the same cream with fantastic results.

One person said; "My age is 68 years my skin is beautiful I’ve only used both Nivea and Ann french milk but it’s also in my jeans".

A second commenter wrote: "I still can’t believe your age it’s so strange you just look amazing".

A third fan added: "My nan always uses Nivea in the blue tub, barely any wrinkles for her age", with another writing: "I’m going to load up, can’t believe you’re in your 90s, you look 30 years younger".

The Nivea Soft Moisturising Cream for the face, hands and body is available in a 200ml tub and costs just €6.99.

It is formulated with Vitamin E and Jojoba Oil, has quick absorption, and refreshes the skin. It is great for people who want to leave their skin feeling soft and supple all day long.

It is described as "ideal for anyone who prefers a low-maintenance approach to skincare, or someone looking to save space amongst their beauty supplies".
