According to the younger relative, from France, her grandma was born in 1928 - long before Botox became a staple for millions of beauty buffs.
Despite looking as glowy as ever, the grandmother has allegedly never used the popular cosmetic treatment - and instead, sticks to two tried-and-tested tips to keep the wrinkles at bay.
Spilling the beans on how she's kept her youthful glow, the nan revealed there are a few things she does to stay wrinkle-free - and one of them is totally free.
This, she recently told her granddaughter in a wholesome video, is keeping active by doing ballet.
As well as giving you a dopamine boost, exercise is a wonderful - and affordable - way to maintain a fresh-faced complexion without forking out for pricey fillers.
Whether you're off for a yoga class or simply getting your daily steps in, exercise increases blood flow, delivering essential nutrients and oxygen to skin cells, while also removing waste products.
This improved circulation contributes to a healthier, more vibrant complexion.
Regular physical activity can also help protect against oxidative stress - a major factor in skin ageing.
On top of this, the gorgeous gran also swears by her skincare routine - and there's one cult favourite brand she's been using for decades.
''I clean my face every day before going to bed, I put on my creams in the morning and in the evening.''
4 ways to banish wrinkles WITHOUT Botox or fillers
Her go-to products include Lancôme Absolue range, which has helped ''to preserve'' her radiant skin.
''Lancôme eye creams are also very good. Everything Lancôme sells - I like it.
''I have been using that for 30 years,'' the nan praised the luxe brand.
''I run out of fun and I go for another. Lancôme dry skin cleanser - great.''
Why is turmeric good for anti-ageing?
A study published in the Asia Pacific Journal of Clinical Nutrition suggests that turmeric and curcumin may help prevent DNA damage and aid in DNA repair.
This is promising news for disease prevention and slowing the ageing process. It also:
Boosts Collagen Production: Collagen is a protein that maintains the skin's elasticity and firmness. As we age, collagen production decreases, leading to wrinkles and sagging skin. Turmeric helps stimulate collagen synthesis, thereby promoting firmer and more youthful skin.
Improves Skin Health: Turmeric has been shown to improve various skin conditions, such as acne, psoriasis, and eczema. Its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties help soothe the skin, reduce redness, and promote a clearer complexion.
If you're a beauty buff, you'll know that Lancôme products are on the more expensive side - but luckily, there's a huge variety of buys for a fraction of the cost.
For a dry skin cleanser dupe of Lancôme, consider CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser.
Currently on sale for £9.36 at Superdrug, this shopper favourite cleanser is creamy and hydrating, with dozens of fans dubbing it ''excellent'' for dry skin.
Meanwhile, if you're on the lookout for a more purse-friendly dupe of the viral Absolue Eye Cream (£135), fans have been raving about L'Oréal Age Perfect Cell Renew Midnight Eye Cream.
On offer for less than £23 at Boots, this high street buy ''wraps the full eye contour in a silky veil of comfort, for a luxurious overnight experience''.
Similarly, several serums can serve as dupes for the £202 Lancôme Absolue serum, offering similar anti-aging and hydrating benefits at a lower price point.
Some popular alternatives include the La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Serum (£31.50) and Kiehl's Vital Skin-Strengthening Hyaluronic Acid Super Serum, which sells for £45.
The clip, posted under the username @akfromjupiter, has taken the internet by storm, winning the wholesome duo more than 11million views in just one week.
Amazed by how radiant the nan looked, over 3,000 people flooded to comments, where on said: ''97 whattt?? Months??''
''There's no way your grandma is 97!'' another was lost for words.
A third chimed in: ''being 97 alive walking talking eating is winning big already.. being healthy at 97..that's amazing.''
''Whattt? To be honest, that would be completely acceptable even with the age filter at 97. She looks phenomenal,'' someone else added.

I tried to swap my council house but got trolled for ‘living in a jungle', people say my home looks like a cannabis farm
Some reckon she has 'more plants than the garden centre' HOLY SMOKES I tried to swap my council house but got trolled for 'living in a jungle', people say my home looks like a cannabis farm Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A WOMAN has been brutally trolled for living in ''a jungle'' after she tried swapping her council house with another property. From improving air quality and reducing stress to boosting ones mood, houseplants offer a wide range of benefits. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 One woman's gorgeous council house has left people divided - would you have this many plants? Credit: facebook/House Exchange Home swap Council or housing associations UK ONLY 2 Whilst many liked the greenery, others weren't so sure of the look - which they dubbed living in 'jungle' Credit: facebook/House Exchange Home swap Council or housing associations UK ONLY Whether you opt for the Swiss Cheese plant or Peace lily, plants can help increase humidity levels, potentially alleviating dry skin, sore throats, and sinus irritation. But while many of us may have the odd plant here and there, it seems that one plant super fan has taken things to a whole new level. The woman, Mia Field, from Bedford, took to Facebook to share snaps of her plant-packed council home she wanted to swap with - and the greenery has left people totally divided. Although Mia said she loved the current house, she's keen to live closer to her family who are an hour's drive away. read more on homes POT OF GOLD How to unlock thousands of pounds of cash just from your garden Desperate to find someone to swap properties with, the young woman said: ''Hey, I have a 2 bedroom house in Bedford MK41 with a driveway and a generous amount of storage. ''I love the house, it has a lot of potential but I need to be closer to family in the Watford area. ''The smallest bedroom has a superking bed with a built in wardrobe - (just needs painting) large shed in garden, separate toilet and bathroom. ''I am looking for a 2 bedroom house in and around the Watford area please. Thanks.'' In the post, uploaded on the popular House Exchange Home swap Council or housing associations UK ONLY group, Mia also attached a variety of images of her current home - and needless to say, the shocking amount of plants left people with their jaws on the floor. The living room, for instance, featured numerous Monstera plants of an impressive size and huge leaves, as well as what appeared to be Areca palms. My council flat is so stylish thanks to second-hand finds - plus the treasure chest place you need to look for bargains To go with the aesthetic, Mia had also kept the sofa light green, adding a few cushions with a leafy design. The dining area, too, boasted several smaller and larger plants - some of which were hanging - as well as a fish tank. Some of the smaller plants were sat neatly on the white shelves, adding plenty of greenery and life to the room. The bathroom - though not as green - was also home to an array of plants, all sitting in gorgeous pots. The darker shade of the Calathea plants provided stunning contrast of the sage walls and the otherwise more neutral aesthetic. How can I get a council house? To apply for a council home, you need to fill out and hand in an application to your local authority. To find your local authority, simply use the Government's council locator tool on its website. Once you have access to your local council's website, it should offer you guidelines on how to complete your application. After applying, you'll most likely have to join a waiting list. Bear in mind, even if you are put on a waiting list, this doesn't guarantee you a council house offer. Your council should also offer you advice on how to stay in your current home and solve any issues you might have, such as problems with a private landlord or mortgage. You are eligible to apply for council housing if you are a British citizen living in the UK providing have not lived abroad recently. Each council has its own local rules about who qualifies to go on the housing register in its area, but it is based on "points" or a "banding" system. For example, you're likely to be offered housing first if you: are homeless live in cramped conditions have a medical condition made worse by your current home are seeking to escape domestic violence Once you are high enough on a council's waiting list, it will contact you when a property is available. Some councils let people apply at the age of 18, while others let you apply even sooner at 16-year-olds. EU workers and their families and refugees may also be eligible. A council house is reached through a points system, so depending on your housing needs, you may be considered low priority. The council will contact you about any available property once you are high enough on the waiting list. There is no limit on how long you can expect to be on the waiting list. Mia's council house has since taken the internet by storm, leaving fellow Facebook users totally divided. Whilst many liked the greenery, others weren't so sure of the look - which they dubbed living in ''a jungle'' and even ''a cannabis farm''. One troll said: 'Wow that's a lot of greenery plants. Like a jungle in there.'' ''How long does it take to water them all?'' another wondered. ''More plants than Garden Centre!!'' a third chuckled. A fat hit back at the critics, writing: ''Wow. I am speechless at the amount of plants. Absolutely breath taking. Your home is beautiful and the plants are incredible.'' ''No swap to offer but just wanted to say I love how much your home looks like a jungle fairy tale!'' a fan added.
