Granny is nearly 100 but people think she's 50 as she credits cheap Boots cream

A granny has been overwhelmed by the positive comments from strangers who can't believe that she is nearly 100-years-old, as many thinks she is in her 50s.

Joan Richmond-Woodhouse, 92, has shared the skincare routine that helps keep her looking youthful.

In a new post on social media, Joan, who is known online as Grandma Joan, revealed the secret behind her age defying looks was Nivea Cream, a product many use, writes The Mirror.

The woman - who posts on TikTok under the username @joansumner1930 - said: "I was born on the 6th of September in 1930. After the war, when I was about 16, Nivea cream had just come out and my friend just came to the house and she said, 'This cream has just come out. Try it, it's brilliant.'

"So I've used Nivea cream for years and years and years. Now everyone I know uses Nivea cream, too."

Commenters were left stunned, with many saying they would be rushing out to get their hands on some Nivea products themselves as soon as possible.

One person said: "'I'm off to buy some Nivea! You look amazing."

While another added: "Really unbelievable!"

And another backed Joan's claim, writing: "My Mum is 90, everyone thinks she 20 years younger, she also uses Nivea."

Joan has previously said that she doesn't "do anything special" to stay looking young, and still munches on pies even when spending most of her time in sunny Spain.

The grandmother-of-18 explained: "I don't know how to behave like a 91-year-old - I just act the same as I did when I was 21. I've always looked young, and people are always shocked when I tell them my age as I don't look, talk or act like I am 91.

"I don't do anything special to stay young – I love pies and English grub so even in Spain I've stuck to eating that. I've never put any weight on.

"I think that must be my secret to my young looks that and I just love life and have never had the mindset of being old."
