Age defying mother reveals her AM and PM skincare routine which leaves her looking very young #GirlTalkZA

An age-defying mom has revealed the secret behind her youthful glow after being inundated with requests to share her skincare regimen.

She was convinced by her daughter to unveil the entire process after images of her went viral on TikTok.


Leila Hendrix (@leilahendrixx) boasts over 5,300 followers on the social media platform, where she shares a glimpse into her life.

She featured photos of her mom in a review of a Canon camera that left viewers amazed by her ageless appearance.

Commenters asked about her mom's beauty habits as they became fixated on her rather than the camera.

Leila convinced her mom to film her full skincare regimen in a follow-up video that has since been viewed over 50,000 times.

Leila's mom said: "I always start off my routine with a bottle of Bioderma micellar water. It's for sensitive skin.

"My go-to toner is by Indie Lee. It's a must-have right after face wash. This toner is life."

She put the Bioderma micellar water, which costs $12.99 at Target, on a cotton pad and wiped her face.

She then used a clean cotton pad to apply Indie Lee toner, which costs around $38 from the brand's website.

Leila's mom then revealed her staple skincare product, saying: "This is the holy grail and what made me look younger.

"It's SkinCeuticals vitamin C."

The drops, which she applied around her eyes and on her cheeks, cost $182 on the SkinCeuticals website.

She then used a pharmaceutical-grade rosacea treatment.

"I only put this on in the morning because I have redness and it helps fix it, it's called Soolantra," she said.

The age-defying mom then covered her face in two products that help to keep skin hydrated.

She said: "I love this it's Glow Recipe strawberry BHA pore-smoother drops. I then go into Ole Henriksen Strength Trainer Peptide Boost moisturizer.

"I just started using it this year. I like to change up my moisturizer based on the season."

Sephora sells the Glow Recipe drops for $32, while Ole Henriksen Strength Trainer Peptide Boost moisturizer is available for $20.

She then applied Biore UV, which costs $14.99 at Walmart.

She said: "SPF targets the UVs and helps to make sure that you don't look older."

Leila's mom revealed that her bedtime skincare routine is the same but with the addition of retinol.

She said: "The biggest thing that I think has helped my skin look younger is retinol.

"I've upped my skin to be able to handle the highest percent that you can get which is point one."
