A 40-YEAR-OLD who used to struggle with severe pigmentation and fine lines at 34 has revealed how she transformed her face.
At 40, TikTok user Eilidh (@addicted_to_face), from Glasgow, Scotland, looks better than ever, rocking a dewy and youthful complexion.
But according to the 40-year-old, it was not always the case – and just over five years ago, her skin looked nothing like that.
When the Scottish woman was just 34, her face lacked any glow – it was dull, lacklustre, and Eilidh was also seeing signs of ageing, such as fine lines and wrinkles, especially around the eye area.
Since then, the beauty fanatic has given her face a new look – and she took to TikTok to spill the beans behind the makeover.
According to Eilidh, a lot of it is to do with skincare – and retinol is your best friend.

''A SOLID skincare routine using prescription strength retinol (Tretinoin) and a little Botox has given me these results.''
She went on to add in the video: ''NOTHING is an overnight miracle… be dedicated.
''NO eyelid surgery, but Botox has helped me to open up my eye area.''
Fellow beauty fans were stunned at the Before and After snaps, as hundreds flocked to comments to share their thoughts and ask for more tips.

''Awesome girl. You look amazing,'' a third added.
''This is probably stopped sun tanning, adding skincare/sunscreen, and minimal in office treatments,'' someone else reckoned.
''How do I know? I'm 40 too and have great skin.''
Unfortunately, not everyone's had the best experience with Botox – and TikTok user Natalia (@styledwithnatalia) knows a thing or two about beauty going wrong.
Posing with her new face, Natalia told her 3.2k followers she had just had Botox injected in her forehead a few weeks ago.
But despite loving the smooth appearance, Natalia felt that the injections had also changed how her eyebrows sit.
''Now I feel like my eyebrows are not looking the way I like them.
''They are very pointy now,'' the fashion enthusiast demonstrated in the video.
''I know it raised my eyebrows a little bit, which I think it's supposed to do that,'' she said, adding that all she can see now in the reflection are her ''crazy'' eyebrows.
''I like the lifted look also, but I think this time is too “pointy” and feel this time it doesn’t look like last time.
''I don't know is this happens to anyone else but I think I need help with my eyebrows now.''
