85-Year-Old’s “Glass Skin” Goes Viral Thanks to Granddaughter’s TikTok
85-year-old Young-ja Joo recently became a TikTok sensation thanks to her incredibly youthful, wrinkle-free complexion, which her granddaughter, skincare influencer Ava Lee, showcased in a viral video. Viewers were amazed by Joo’s “glass skin,” a term used to describe smooth, glowing skin with minimal wrinkles.
Lee, CEO of skincare supplement company byAVA, believes her grandmother’s youthful appearance isn’t just good genes. She credits several lifestyle choices for Joo’s enviable complexion.
A key factor? A diet rich in protein, particularly fish, which Joo eats several times a week.
Dermatologists confirm that adequate protein intake provides the building blocks for collagen, essential for healthy skin.
Sun protection is another cornerstone of Joo’s skincare regimen. She’s been diligent about applying SPF cream since her 30s and consistently wears protective clothing, including hats and long sleeves, even in summer.
Experts agree that these habits are crucial for preventing wrinkles and maintaining youthful skin. While sunscreen is vital, wearing protective clothing offers an extra layer of defense against harsh sunlight.
Finally, Joo keeps her skincare routine refreshingly simple. While she occasionally tries products sent to her granddaughter, she primarily sticks to affordable hydrating moisturizers from Korean brands.
Moisturizing helps maintain a healthy skin barrier, which can prevent wrinkles. A good moisturizer with SPF offers the best of both worlds.
