I’m in my 40s but look two decades younger WITHOUT expensive supplements – a 30p Superdrug buy is my budget secret
A WOMAN who is in her forties but looks 20 years younger, has revealed the 30p secret to her youthful glow.
Maggie Rose, 41, doesn’t use Botox or filler and often shares her skincare tips online, where people are left gobsmacked by her age.
In a recent video, the wrinkle free beauty shared her top three natural beauty hacks on a budget, for those unable to afford expensive skincare brands.
Choline
Maggie revealed that you don’t need to splash the cash on expensive collagen supplements, and can instead take choline.
She said: “Choline helps your body generate it’s own collagen.
“It works really really well for just a third of the price.”
Collagen helps to give skin strength and elasticity, whilst also shedding old skin cells and making way for new ones.
You can pick up a bag of 30 choline tablets from Superdrug for £8.99, meaning that each tablet costs just 30p.
Cyperus Rotundus Oil
Another budget hack Maggie recommends, is using Cyperus Rotundus Oil for hair removal.
“There was a study done, and it’s supposed to be just as effective as laser hair removal,” she said.
This natural oil slows down growth enzymes and helps to prevent the emergence of undesired hair with continuous use.
You can pick a bottle up from Amazon for just £8.99.
Brushing Teeth With Clay
Maggie revealed that teeth whitening strips are bad for your enamel, so suggested brushing your teeth with food grade clay instead.
“It cleans and polishes, but is also really good at whitening,” she revealed.
You can pick up clay powder from Amazon for as little as £4.99.
Maggie’s (@maggieroseadvocate) video has likely left many people impressed, as it has racked up over 94,000 views on the video sharing platform.
