Beauty guru reveals her 2-ingredient solution for radiant skin without expensive creams


A beauty guru has revealed how she banishes crow's feet and undereye circles without splurging on expensive eye creams.

She spoke candidly about her skincare regimen after a 25-year-old asked her for advice on getting rid of their unwanted fine lines.

Nike Ojekunle (@nikeoje) boasts over 467,000 followers on TikTok, where she shares beauty and fashion tips.

She took to the social media platform to explain how she looks after the skin around her eyes to maintain a youthful appearance.

She made the video in response to a follower claiming they are getting crow's feet in their mid-20s.

Nike said: "So you're starting to get crow's feet or you have dark under-eye circles, but you don't want to purchase expensive eye cream?

"I have the solution for you. Let's do it!

"Take your retinol (dime size) and pour it out on your hand. Then take your moisturizer (mine is from Symbiome) and mix it together.

"Retinol is very strong so you don't want to put it directly under your eyes."

Symbiome The One cream costs $125 from Look Fantastic.

The anti-aging cream contains a mix of antioxidants that claim to "help protect against premature aging and oxidative damage caused by environmental pollutants or stressors."

Nike didn't reveal which brand of retinol she combined the cream with before applying the products under her eyes.

However, she reassured a commenter that the retinol available from skincare brand The Ordinary, which costs $6.85, is just as effective.

Nike said: "I simply tap with my ring finger under my eyes and that's it! It gets rid of the wrinkles and your dark circles."

The video racked up thousands of views and people took to the comment section thanking her for sharing her beauty tip.
