I’m almost 70 & have no wrinkles – people might turn their nose up at my £1 secret but it’s been my trick for 20 years
AN AGE-DEFYING woman who is almost 70 has revealed the beauty secret she’s been following religiously for 20 years.
And the best part of all? The anti-ageing hack costs as little as just £1.
Vivian Boyko, who posts under the handle @justagram, took to TikTok and shared a video expressing her love of Vicks Vaporub.
Looking directly at the camera, she begins: “See my neck, I have no wrinkles.
“I’m going to be 70 this year and I’m going to share with you what I’ve been doing for the last 20 years.
“Vicks Vaporub…I’ve been slathering this on my chest and around my neck for the last 20 years.”
Vivian goes on to say how she also applies Vick whenever she gets a cold.
“Put Vicks into boiling water and breathe it in – for me, it’s comfort…it’s like a warm bowl of oatmeal on a cold winter’s night,” she explains.

“I think this is a hack I’ve been doing for 20 years before the word ‘hack’ was even out here.
“It puts me to sleep.
“It’s got these ingredients I love.
“I love the smell of it.
“Yes, I smell like Vicks…I identify with Vicks.
“If people don’t like how I smell, they can leave!
“I’m not giving up my Vicks.”
She continues: “When I do have a cold, I put it all over the bottom of my feet and then I wear a pair of socks.
“Whenever I get a pedicure, they go: ‘How can you be 70?’
I love it!”
The video has since gone viral, garnering over 480,000 views and many comments
“I can smell the Vicks through this video,” she quipped.
A second enthused: “You look fab for almost 70!!”
A third penned: “You look fab for almost 70!!”
Meanwhile, a fourth noted: “No wonder! Underneath my nose its wrinkle free!”
Another wrote: “Ok I’m doing this! I’ve aged too much over the course of one year and I’m not happy about it. Your beautiful!”
A further asked: “Awesome! Are you Mexican? We Mexicans use Vicks a lot! My mum used it when we had a cold too rubbed it all over our back and feet.”
And one more added: “Great! Petroleum jelly does the same thing (the base of Vicks).”
