A SKINCARE fan shared her homemade anti-aging hand mask recipe.
The three-ingredient skin care treatment, they said, turns back the clock on wrinkles and eliminates dark spots.
TikToker Anna Caserta (@_ceo_of_randomness) shared the anti-aging recipe in a viral video.
She explained that the “natural” remedy was not only safe but also extremely effective.
In a bowl, she combined a spoonful of petroleum jelly, a spoonful of turmeric, and some lemon juice.
She explained that citrus juice acted as a “lightening agent” that attacked dark spots.
After mixing the ingredients, she applied a layer to her hands.
“Put it on your hands or anywhere you feel it getting wrinkled or dark spots,” she said.
After washing off the mask, she noticed immediate results.
The treatment, she added, can be repeated as many times as necessary.

“The more you massage, the better. You can do this daily and wow, how gentle,” she said.
After applying it to the face, the TikToker recommended immediately applying sunscreen to protect the skin.
One commenter co-signed the recipe after sharing their first-hand experience.
“You know my grandmother used this same recipe in the 60s. It works,” they said.
Others had difficulty with the recipe, thanks to an ingredient that left their skin stained.
“I tried this, after a week I looked like one of the Simpsons,” said one viewer.
Anti-aging tips and ‘superstar’ products
Dr. Anatália Moore is a general practitioner and skin specialist with over 11 years of clinical experience.
She told The US Sun that her goal is to equip patients with the knowledge they need to take control of their skin’s journey.
She said the basics of a beauty routine are the same for all ages – it should include an effective cleanser, moisturizer and SPF.
“Moisturizers are my go-to, even when it comes to products that contain active ingredients,” she said.
“Finding a well-balanced moisturizer that provides the right type of hydration, replaces natural oils, and seals them literally stabilizes the skin.
“This alone can quickly soften the appearance of fine lines and texture, as these are often worsened by dehydration.
“It also allows the skin to function as it should.
“It can then heal more quickly, which, among many things, can lead to fewer lines and wrinkles, fewer flare-ups of dermatitis and rosacea, and milder, shorter-lasting breakouts.”

Other skincare fans explained that the secret to not having yellow skin is choosing the right type of turmeric.
“There are two types of saffron, one that stains and the other that does not stain,” replied one of them.
Another helpful fan shared a trick that helps remove turmeric stains.
“Soak a cotton ball in rose water and say goodbye to stains! Remove it instantly,” they said.
Other DIY skincare enthusiasts shared their recipes in the comments.
“Lemon with distilled water eliminates dark spots. Just mix it with distilled water and wipe it with cotton,” said one of them.
