Youthful gran, 92, says people think she's decades younger thanks to £2 cream

A young looking gran has told social media users that her secret to looking decades younger is down to a £2 skin cream. Joan Woodhouse, who is 92 years old, told fans of her granddaughter's TikTok that no-one ever believes her age.

Joan says her beauty secret is actually a tub of every day, affordable Nivea cream. In the clip, her granddaughter asks her: "Grandma, no-one believes you’re 92. Can you tell us a bit about yourself? You look so good for your age and everyone wants to know what skincare you use."

As reported by Birmingham Live, Joan responds: "Well, after the war, when I were about 16, Nivea cream had just come out and my friend came to the house and she said, ‘This cream has just come out, Joan. Try it, it’s brilliant.’"

"And my friend came to the house and she said, ‘This cream has just come out, Joan. Try it, it’s brilliant.’ So I’ve used Nivea cream for years and years and years."

She added: "And now I think everyone that I know uses Nivea cream because they obviously think it will do them good as well."

A comment added: "Message from Grandma Joan. Because of you guys and the lovely messages - NIVEA have asked to collaborate with me. I'm overwhelmed. Thank you!"

"Which Nivea crème? All over the facia? How often? Help the girls and gays out," one TikToker cheekily responded as the video clip went viral.
