A 51-year-old woman who often gets told she looks as though she could still be in her 20s has shared her secret to "glowing skin" - and it's all about what foods you eat.
Annamaria Kalebic insisted that what you put into your body has a huge impact on the way you look on the outside, and hailed her healthy diet as the key reason she looks so youthful.
The woman has had people on social media tell her that she looks 29, but in reality, she is over two decades older, and believes that eating "lots of plants" has been vital for her skin - as well as drinking plenty of water and exercising regularly.
In a video posted to her @annamariakalebic account on TikTok, Annamaria shared her top three tips for glowing skin and said: "Tip number one is to drink your water. Drinking water makes such a difference and it's something you can do easily. So drink loads of water throughout the day and the next day you will see a noticeable difference.
"But what I will say is be aware that we also lose electrolytes and salts, so to fully hydrate, make sure you're replacing those as well, especially if you work out.
"Tip number two is to eat lots of plants. Plant food - so vegetables, fruits, legumes, seeds, whatever - there's an array of plants you can eat and they are loaded with phytonutrients and antioxidants which combat oxidative stress. Load up your plate with loads of plants, make the plants on your plate the main attraction and the complex carbs a side gig as well as obviously loading up on good quality protein.
"Number three, go outside and get some exercise to move your body. Get stretching, do whatever you can because by moving your body you are circulating your blood really well getting the oxygen around your body and that gives you that like healthy post-exercise glow."
However, Annamaria warned people to "be mindful" when exercising, as she claimed high-impact activities can actually cause you to "lose volume in your face".
And if you want an instant glow, the beauty fan said there's nothing wrong with using a little bit of toner to help give your skin a little boost.
She added: "Here's a little bonus, before I came on to film this video, I put some of my favourite toner on my palms and then I just patted it onto my face and gave me a little extra glow. So that's something you can do instantly."
