Ageing is a natural process and hits everyone differently, with some deciding to embrace their wrinkles while others choose to get intervention to smooth out any lines. Others don't appear to age at all, with baby faces frozen in time.
One mum, who goes by @amberlancaster007 on TikTok, shocked her followers by revealing her true age and gave her hints and tips for looking so youthful as most people think she is in her late 20s.
The Price is Right model is actually in her 40s but Amber Lancaster is regularly told she could pass for 15 years younger as she posts fashion, beauty, and lifestyle content on her TikTok and Instagram.
Amber, from California, boasts an impressive following on TikTok and regularly shares funny videos and stylish outfits but her followers have been left baffled by the revelation that she is not in her 20s.
In a viral video, she smiles and puts her age on screen with the audio saying: "This is for everyone who looks younger than their actual age and people don't believe them when you tell them how old you are."

She captioned it "1980 baby", revealing that she was born that year which made her 41 at the time of posting - she has since turned 42.
One user said: "41 going on 25, you look like a young lady on stage!"
"People saying you look 30. I am 30. You look 25 – so beautiful," a follower commented, while another added:" Literally the only one I’ve seen where you actually look younger than your age. Now tell us all your secrets.”
"You look amazing !!! Give me your skincare," another commented, while hundreds more demanded to know her secrets.
Amber obliged her fans and shared her ultimate anti-ageing secret in a video titled: "Four skincare products I love and swear by."
She said: "First being tretinoin, you need a prescription for this, I've been using it for 15 years and it’s literally changed my skin. I'm 41 years old and I credit this little tube right here.
"It stimulated collagen production, it’s like the number one ingredient that’s scientifically proven to change your skin. But you do need a prescription for that."
Tretinoin is a prescription-strength retinoid used to tackle acne, discolouration, and wrinkles by boosting collagen production and skin cell growth. According to skincare brand Skin and Me, tretinoin has no adverse side effects with long-term use but does require a prescription.
Amber also recommends adding a vitamin C serum into your routine to brighten the skin and the 'Ponds Dry Skin facial Moisturiser' at night. She also said that she has had Botox in another video but did not specify anything beyond that.
Most dermatologists also recommend wearing SPF protection daily, as this will protect your skin against UV rays which contribute to the skin ageing process as well as serious medical issues.
