MANY people are desperate to wind back the clock when it comes to their looks – and you may not need a single product or skincare treatment to achieve it.
Forget using Botox, beauty lover Mattie shared how one single tweak to her hair led to her looking 10 years younger.
On her @mattie.skincare account, she wrote: “POV you spend all your time and money on anti-ageing skincare when all you needed to look younger was a fringe.”
She showed a series of photos showing herself before and after a fringe – with the after result looking a lot more youthful.
Mattie added: “Bangs vs Botox… Make it make sense.”
After making the simple change she noticed the benefits when she was out in public straight away.
The chuffed beauty lover added: “I literally got ID’d for the first time in years recently.”
And it seems her views agree, with her video racking up 2,300 likes and people taking to the comments.
One said: “Def!! Takes off like 10 years or so.”
Another added: “Oh you look GOOD.”
And a third joked: “A friend called a fringe ‘poor man’s Botox.’”.
Cliphair stylist Lynn Chambers agreed and shared how the simple hair hack can hide your wrinkles and make you look younger in minutes.
Lynn told the Express: “A fringe, whether it’s a blunt full fringe or soft flicky bangs, can be the perfect accessory to achieve a more youthful look (and hide some wrinkles!).”
“Styling them as curtain bangs tends to look the most natural as it will blend in with the rest of your hair much easier.
“Other people use them to recreate edgy looks such as baby bangs or choppy bangs instead. To each their own!”

Bang on trend
As well as complimenting your face shape, the fringe and bangs trend has come back with a bang recently – meaning you will be sporting this season’s signature hairstyle.
But if you are scared of the scissors, why not try out the transformation with clip-in hair pieces first.
This allows you to keep switching up your look without breaking the bank or butchering your tresses.
Lynn also told those looking for an anti-aging trim to cut off their dead ends and thin strands to help refresh their appearance.
Why is turmeric good for anti-ageing?
A study published in the Asia Pacific Journal of Clinical Nutrition suggests that turmeric and curcumin may help prevent DNA damage and aid in DNA repair.
This is promising news for disease prevention and slowing the ageing process. It also:
Boosts Collagen Production: Collagen is a protein that maintains the skin’s elasticity and firmness. As we age, collagen production decreases, leading to wrinkles and sagging skin. Turmeric helps stimulate collagen synthesis, thereby promoting firmer and more youthful skin.
Improves Skin Health: Turmeric has been shown to improve various skin conditions, such as acne, psoriasis, and eczema. Its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties help soothe the skin, reduce redness, and promote a clearer complexion.
She offered up a range of style suggestions you can ask for in the salon which will keep your hair healthy while making you look younger.
The hairdresser explained: “Hair thinning and hair loss are two very common phenomena manifesting when we get older.
“Sometimes long hair can make it look even thinner than it is.
“Shorter cuts, layers and curls create shape and volume for a put-together, youthful look.”
