My mum’s a 50-year-old who could easily pass as 30 – here’s the five products she swears by & her ‘magic in a bottle’
WHEN it comes to trying to stay looking youthful for as long as possible, there’s few things as important as having a fab skincare routine.
So one Instagram influencer has shared the products that mean her 50-year-old mum looks decades younger, including the serum she describes as “magic in a bottle”.
Aylen Park is a stunning lifestyle influencer who regularly shares everything from her favourite beauty finds to fashion hauls with her 214k followers on her Instagram page @AylenPark.
And in a recent clip that racked up an astonishing 17.4 million views, she shared the skincare staples that mean her 50-year-old mum could easily pass as a 30-something.
“Products my mum has used for over 20 years to look this good at 50,” Aylen writes at the start of the compilation.
The first item mentioned is the Bobbi Brown Soothing Cleansing Oil, a bottle of which will set you back around £26.
According to the products website, the mixture “emulsifies with water to wash away pollution and impurities that can clog pores and cause breakouts” – and it clearly works, as Aylen’s mum has got through 100 bottles.
The second recommendation is the Estée Lauder’s Advanced Night Repair Serum.
It’s a pretty expensive product – a large bottle is around £65 – but the stunning influencer gushes that it’s literally “magic in a bottle”.
And shoppers clearly agree: it has more than 12,000 five-star reviews, has been voted the UK’s number 1 serum, and more than 80% of people claim it helped get rid of their wrinkles without the need for botox.
The third product that the two recommend is Caudalie’s Beauty Elixir: a prep, set and glow spritz that comes in around £34 per bottle.
And for silky-feeling hands, the duo love L’Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream (£22), which they describe as “so smooth like butter” and as having a “magical” smell.
The final must-have according to Aylen’s mum is the Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protector Sunscreen, which costs around £25.
Everyone knows the importance of SPF when it comes to maintaining a youthful complexion, but this one “brightens, covers and protects”.

According to Elle McNamara, the £7 Boots Ingredients Retinol Night Moisturiser means the 32-year-old is frequently asked for ID to prove she’s an adult.
