JAKARTA - An 85-year-old grandmother named Young-ja Joo stole the public's attention after her smooth and glowing face appeared on TikTok. In the video uploaded by Ava Lee, a content creator and CEO of the byAVA skin supplement company, the audience was amazed to see Joo's grandmother's skin almost wrinkled.

Reported by VOI from the Business Insider page on Saturday, March 22, Ava calls her grandmother a 'glass skin', because her facial skin looks smooth, glowing, and almost wrinkled.

Although genetic factors play a major role in the skin aging process, Ava believes a lifestyle also affects the skin condition of her grandmother. She also shared three secrets of her grandmother's skin care.

1. Consumption of a lot of protein

According to Ava, her grandmother always emphasized the importance of maintaining a balance between vegetables, carbohydrates, and protein in every food. One of the favorite sources of protein for her grandmother is fish. He consumes about 4-5 times a week.dr. Derek V. Chan, a dermatologist in Manhattan, United States, explains that protein intake is quite supportive of collagen production. This is important to keep the skin healthy and chewy.

2. Protect Skin from the Sun

Since the 30s, Joo's grandmother has routinely used sunscreen cream (SPF) to protect her face. According to dr. Derek, the use of SPF is an important step in skin care to prevent premature aging. He recommends using the SPF sunscreen at least 30 by doing it every day. In addition, grandmother also has a habit of wearing a hat, sunglasses, and protective clothing while in the sun. While in the summer, he prefers to wear a long-sleeved shirt to protect his skin. "Protection from sunlight, in addition to genetic factors, is one of the main reasons why Joo's grandmother's skin still looks young," said dr. Derek.

3. Use Simple Skin Care

Grandma Joo does not use many skin care products. Although, sometimes trying the product that Ava sends, the grandmother uses more frequent affordable price moisturizers from Korean brands. "Keeping the skin hydrated with moisturizers helps strengthen the skin protection layer. This can prevent the emergence of fine lines and wrinkles." said dr. Derek. He suggested choosing a moisturizer that also contains a minimum SPF 30 for extra protection.
