An 89-Year-Old Uses These Anti-Aging Skincare Products

I've gotta say I think Sara and Erin Foster are among the most entertaining people to follow on Instagram. From Sara's hilarious "Real Moms of TikTok" videos to Erin's self-deprecating humor about marriage, they're definitely never boring. But one of the most memorable posts (to me, anyway) was when Erin shared a video of her maternal grandmother, Anita Marshall, last year and the comment section was inundated with messages of disbelief that she was in her late 80s. "Holy shit! What’s her secret there’s no way she’s 87!" read one comment. "She is not 87. My word. She looks incroyable!" read another.Â

Naturally, I did what any skincare-obsessed editor would do: go straight to the source and find out what she's been using on her skin. "I've never had Botox or filler in my life," the now-89-year-old told Who What Wear. As for Nita's daily routine, it starts out with an incredibly affordable secret weapon she's been using for 40 years: the Buf-Puf Facial Sponge ($8). "I get up in the morning and wash my face with cleanser and a Buf-Puf, which will make most people say 'Oh my word!' Well, [my daughter Rebecca] was dating a doctor, and he told me this was the thing to use, and I just never stopped. I gently exfoliate with it. I use it religiously and have been for over 40 years." You can bet I already purchased one from Amazon before even sitting down to write this story.
