The woman gushed about her grandmother’s youthful appearance in a Reddit thread sharing beauty advice from older generations.
Participants were advised to share tips for hair, skin, nails, and hygiene.
GRANNY GLOW UP
“My grandma is 84 years old and could pass for being in her 60s because her skin is so smooth and she has such few wrinkles,” she wrote.
“She says it’s because she’s put Jergen’s original scent lotion on her face twice a day since she was a teenager.”
Many Reddit users upvoted the post to show they were impressed by the skincare advice.
Jergens original scent lotion is priced at $4.49 at Target.
According to the manufacturer, it has been formulated to “hydrate and restore skin’s luminosity, tone, and texture.”
The cruelty-free lotion leaves skin “softer and smoother” when applied regularly.
