Aging gets a bad rap these days, doesn't it? We can thank the beauty industry and social media for that. With "anti-aging" plastered all over skincare ads, even teenagers on TikTok think they need a 10-step routine to combat their non-existent wrinkles. I'm in my 20s, and I admittedly have some "anti-aging" ingredients in my regimen too.
Let's be honest, though. Botox, fillers, and skincare products can help, but they can't stop time. So instead of trying to dodge aging—which, let's face it, is impossible—we should aim to age gracefully instead. And who better to learn from than my 70-year-old grandma?

Despite being a single mom, a career woman, and a former smoker, my grandma's skin is glowing. Seriously, you'd never guess her life was that hectic just by looking at her. Her secret? Estée Lauder's holy grail serum.
How I Discovered My 70-Year-Old Grandma's Beauty Routine
When I asked her how long she’s been using her favorite serum, she told me, “At least 30 years.” Naturally, Estée Lauder became my first foray into the beauty world. Its logo has always been familiar to me, way before I even knew what skincare was, because my grandma would have bottles and jars of Estée Lauder products lined up on her vanity. But the one that she stocks up on the most has got to be the Advanced Night Repair serum.
What Is the Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum?
A skincare hero not only of the brand but in the world of beauty in general, the Advanced Night Repair, also known simply as ANR, was first launched 1982. Now with Chronolux™ Power Signal Technology, this serum swiftly penetrates the skin to make it appear smoother, more radiant, and even-toned. It claims to maintain hydration for up to 72 hours, while antioxidants shield the skin against environmental stressors that cause wrinkles, lines, and dull skin.

Considering my grandma has sensitive skin and is super picky about what she uses, her sticking with Estée Lauder all these years speaks volumes about the quality of their products. “The products are safe to use (no incidence of allergic reaction),” she shared with me. “But most of all, its skin care and makeup products keep my face looking youthful.”

Apart from ANR, there are other Estée Lauder products she also loves to use. Curious? You can shop them below and try for yourself:
