Sue Giers, 56, who is from Hamburg, Germany, revealed that the secret to a youthful complexion isn't splashing the cash on expensive lotions or posh serums, but in fact, it's a food waste item that could be hiding in your food bin.
According to this fashion designer and PR expert, who has "legs like a 25-year-old', the key to looking young is banana skin - yes, you heard that correctly.
Posting on social media, the blonde haired beauty filmed herself showing off her 'natural Botox' hack, as she rubbed banana peel over her face and neck.
Thrilled with the cheap but incredibly effective hack, Sue, who loves wearing skimpy dresses and micro mini shorts but has been told to 'dress her age' by mean trolls, explained: 'Every now and then I use something super simple – and totally underrated – for glowing, firm skin: banana peel!
'Banana peels are full of potassium, antioxidants and healing properties that help fight pimples, smooth out wrinkles and restore tired skin.'
Not only this, but the stylish mother, who previously confessed that being ''basic'' is not in her ''DNA'', then continued: 'Lutein inside the peel acts like a powerful antioxidant, combating fine lines, sagging and dullness.'
Not only does the content creator's hack take a matter of seconds, but it doesn't cause any redness or adverse reactions to her skin either.
She later added: 'I apply it gently to my face about once a week – that's enough to see results without risking irritation or allergies.'
Overjoyed with her purse-friendly trick, Sue, who is a fan of wearing sheer bodysuits but is often met with abuse from haters for her fashion sense, concluded: 'It's one of my favourite natural beauty hacks.'
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @sue.giers, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 93,600 views in just 15 hours.

Not only this, but it's also amassed 2,493 likes, 28 comments and 368 saves.
Social media users were gobsmacked by Sue's skin and eagerly raced to the comments to praise her gorgeous complexion.
How to reverse ageing in just 2 weeks, according to royal go-to nutritionist
LONDON -based Gabriela Peacock, who has helped the likes of Prince Harry and Princess Eugenie prepare for their weddings.
She told Fabulous: 'The science is evident that we all have the power to make simple life changing alterations to better our future selves - no matter what genetic hand we might have been dealt with.
'The reality is, we all sometimes indulge in unhealthy eating habits like processed foods, smoking cigarettes, drinking too much alcohol, inhaling city pollutants, and even drinking water from plastic bottles – none of this is good for us.
'All this does is promote the ageing process, but we all have the potential to change this.'
It may be hard, but try to keep away from sugary carbohydrates, because they feed chronic inflammation, which is one of the worst enemies of reversing ageing.
Now only will you end up putting on weight if you consume them regularly, but your energy and hormonal levels will be affected and this will influence how you look and feel.
Whatever your age or state of health, it's never too late to reverse how quickly you are ageing and embrace the energy and vigour of a younger you.
Antioxidants, such as vitamins A, C, and E, are essential in neutralising free radicals—the culprits behind premature ageing.
Integrating a spectrum of colourful fruits and vegetables into your diet provides a potent source of antioxidants.
Omega-3 fatty acids, abundant in fatty fish like salmon and flaxseeds, are vital for maintaining skin elasticity and hydration.
Omega-3s act as nourishment for your skin, locking in moisture and diminishing fine lines and wrinkles.
Collagen, a structural protein dwindling with age, can be replenished through collagen-rich foods like bone broth and lean protein sources.
