A SKINCARE fan shared a recipe for a homemade anti-aging hand mask.
According to them, this three-ingredient skin care treatment can help reverse wrinkle time and remove blemishes.
TikToker Anna Caserta (@_ceo_of_randomness) shared an anti-aging recipe in a viral video.
She explained that this “natural” treatment is not only safe, but also highly effective.
In a bowl, she mixed together a spoonful of Vaseline, a spoonful of turmeric, and lemon juice.
She explained that citrus juice acts as a “bleach” that targets stains.
After mixing the ingredients, she applied a layer to her hands.
“Apply it to your hands and any areas that have wrinkles or blemishes,” she says.
After washing off the mask, she immediately noticed the effects.
The treatment can be repeated as many times as needed, she added.

“The more you massage, the better. You can do it every day and it goes surprisingly smoothly,” she said.
The TikToker recommended applying sunscreen immediately after applying it to your face to protect your skin.
One commenter co-signed the recipe after sharing his real-life experience.
They said, “You know, my grandmother used this same recipe in the '60s, and it certainly works.”
Some people struggled with the recipe because of ingredients that left spots on the skin.
“I tried this and after a week I looked like one of the Simpsons,” said one viewer.
Anti-aging tips and “superstar” products
Dr. Anatalia Moore is a general practitioner and dermatologist with over 11 years of clinical experience.
She told US Sun that her goal is to equip patients with the knowledge they need to take control of their skin journey.
She said the basics of a beauty routine are the same at any age and should include an effective cleanser, moisturizer, and SPF.
“More than any product with active ingredients, moisturizers are my superstars,” she said.
“Finding a well-balanced moisturizer that provides the right kind of hydration, replaces and seals in natural oils can literally stabilize your skin.
“This in itself can instantly soothe fine lines and skin texture, which are often exacerbated by dehydration.”
“It also allows the skin to function as it should.
“This can lead to faster healing, fewer wrinkles and fine lines, fewer flare-ups of dermatitis and rosacea, shorter breakouts, and milder symptoms, among other benefits.”
Dr. Moore's skin care staples:
- Obagi Hydrate and Hydrate Luxe Moisturizer, $78
- enough sleep
- balanced diet
- stress reduction
Our fellow skincare enthusiasts explained that the key to keeping your skin from turning yellow is choosing the right type of turmeric.

Another kind fan shared a trick to help remove turmeric stains.
