If you suffer from blemish-prone skin or fine lines, you've probably tried everything you can to make them less noticeable.
But one influencer claims she's found the secret to glowing skin with a DIY face mask that 'solves' almost all your skin concerns.
It sounds too good to be true, but Alexis DiMaya loves this skincare routine.
As a Tiktok influencer, she has tested a fair amount of products, including high-end products like La Roche Posay.
Nevertheless, this Hawaiian woman credits her glowing skin to a homemade face mask made with just two ingredients (yes, you read that right!).
If that wasn't impressive enough, the pilot even appeared on camera for no reason just to prove how effective it was.

“See this? I don't wear any foundation,” the actress, who has suffered from severe acne for years, gushed in a viral Tiktok video.
Alexis added: “When I say this mask is amazing, I'm right. Everyone should try it at home.”
For those curious about her beauty secrets, she combines two simple ingredients for this DIY mask: flaxseed and water.
She went on to tell her 551,000 followers:Brightens dark spots, corrects hyperpigmentation, tightens and moisturizes skin…like botox”
Appearing wearing a mask, she revealed that when she wears the mask, the combination of seeds and a little water actually becomes “very tight,” allowing the nutrients to slowly penetrate into the skin.
For those still not convinced, Alexis revealed that she has been using the skincare hack for a long time and noticed how much clearer her skin has become.
“When I started using this, I saw a huge difference in my skin, and it's true,” she explained, adding, “Like the other products, it obviously not only lightens my dark spots, but also… It tightens my face.”
The Hawaiian isn't the only one talking about how flaxseed is beneficial for the skin, the beauty ingredient is also trending on TikTok.
She added: “It feels exactly like Botox. Botox in a bottle… except at home. Screw that hundred dollar Botox because this is amazing.”
“I thought about getting Botox, but after trying this mask, I honestly don't think about it anymore,” Alexis admitted.
Her idea is not wrong either. A big bag of flaxseed at Sainsbury's costs just £2.
If you want to try this beauty hack, you'll need 1/4 cup of whole flaxseeds and 2 cups of filtered water.
Once the water is boiling, add the flaxseed, stir for 1 minute, then bring to a boil.
Then you need to keep heating this for some time Next Cool for about 10 minutes and transfer to a glass container, ready to use once cooled.
What's even better is that this homeopathic beauty hack will keep for up to 2-3 weeks in the refrigerator.
