Zareefa captioned the post: "POV: you reversed your age using at home remedies". She started off by speaking about a flax seed facemask. The viral mask was nicknamed "Botox at home" by TikTokers who swear by the remedy and Zareefa said: "I took a TikTok face mask and made it 10 times better.

"You’re literally erasing dark spots and plumping up fine lines. I haven’t had any injectables, and I’m 34," she gushed. The simple face mask is just one tablespoon of flaxseed meal and half a cup of boiling water. Mix together and leave for around 30 minutes to an hour until it forms a jelly consistency.

The wellness guru then adds a pump of a dead see mud serum to supercharge the mask, targeting hyperpigmentation, texture, and breakouts all at once. After applying and washing off, Zareefa said she's left with "literal glass skin".

Zareefa then revealed she swears by eggshell membrane to help reverse ageing too. She insists that the slimy skin stuck to the inside of your boiled eggs is her secret weapon.

She believes it helps wiyh plump skin, glossy hair, and strong joints, thanks to its powerful combo of collagen, hyaluronic acid, and elastin. "Sometimes I add it to my smoothies, but most of the time I just eat it with the egg," she said.

While it may sound strange, there is actual science to back up her claims as studies show the natural supplement can boost skin elasticity and reduce wrinkles in just a few weeks and ancient cultures even used it to heal wounds and regenerate tissue.

Finally, the TikToker hailed the use of "banana peel Botox". She claimed the fruit peel can work just like Botox as it's full of lutein, a powerful antioxidant also found in spinach and kale, the peel helps brighten skin, reduce wrinkles, and fade dark spots. What's better, they can cost just 20p.

Zareefa recommends rubbing the inside of the peel on your skin and leaving it on for ten minutes before rinsing and said it's a trick her mum used to do every time they had bananas.

“She’d make us eat the banana and use the peel on her face!” She said and told her fans to do it a few times a week and they will notice a "dramatic difference" in hydration, texture and radiance. Calling it a preventative Botox, she added: "you’re not going to need any injectables if you’re doing this consistently".

People were loving her clever tricks, as one fan commented: "one of the best transformations I've seen. you're glowing and absolutely beautiful."
