I’m in my mid-50s but my ‘judgy’ nieces think I look under 40 – my $8 buy is fabulous for anti-aging, I use it all over
A SKINCARE fan has shared an affordable buy that helps with wrinkles.
She explained that she is in her mid-50s, but thanks to her anti-aging routine, even her “judgy” nieces think she looks nearly two decades younger.
Redditor AlbanyBarbiedoll shared the skincare recommendation in a post.
She revealed that she regularly uses $8 sweet almond oil purchased from Amazon.
“I am mid-50s and even aestheticians and my judgy nieces think I look under 40,” she said.
“I AM blessed with good genes, but I also take care of my skin and I use sweet almond oil at the recommendation of the girl who threads my eyebrows.
“It’s cheap, you can use it all over, and it is fabulous!”
While the Redditor didn’t note the exact brand of sweet almond oil she uses, Handcraft Blends Sweet Almond Oil is available on Amazon for $6.99.
Amazon shoppers raved about the inexpensive buy for its effectiveness and value.
“My skin, hair, and nails drink this oil in, it’s fantastic,” said one reviewer.
“Been using it for just a few weeks now and already I’m seeing improvement.
“Hair is softer, growing better and my skin is much softer too. High quality oil.”
“I love this almond oil! I originally ordered it as a massage oil, but wound up using it every day as a skin moisturizer as well as an eye makeup remover,” said another.
“It has a very light smell, and seems to be very high quality. Super happy with this product!”
I purchased this to try, as I had previously purchased another brand,” said a third.
“I can honestly say that this is great for dry skin. I use in the shower and rub into my skin after my shower before I get out of the shower.
