A BEAUTY fan has revealed her ‘secret’ to how she stays looking so young.
Jen Jones, who regularly gets asked if she gets botox, revealed that it isn’t actually down to potions and lotions, but it’s what she drinks.
She shared a video on TikTok and explained exactly what her drink is, in a step-by-step tutorial.
Speaking to the camera, Jen, who is known on social media as @thejenjones, says: “Jen, do you get Botox? I don’t.
“I drink juice, baby. I mean, I might get it one day. You never know.
“But for now, I’m going to show you how to make my wrinkle-reducing juice.
“Purple cabbage helps with wrinkles and matures skin.
“Purple cabbage is also high in vitamin A, which aids in the regrowth of your skin cells.
“Combining pineapple and purple cabbage together is amazing for inflammation, heart health, and digestion, and helps to keep your skin young and vibrant.
“If it’s your first time juicing purple cabbage, just use a small amount because I don’t want anybody running to the bathroom and blaming me.”
She recommends those who are doing this to make sure they clean their fruit and vegetables first before chopping them up.
Jen continues: “Now I’m going to throw this right into my juicer. Cut off that skin.
“Get organic pineapple.
“Clean the skin well. Make an immune-boosting, detoxing tea.
“When you juice your fruits and veggies, you allow your digestion to take a break.
“All the vitamins and antioxidants go straight into your bloodstream, baby.
Purple cabbage is retinol straight into your system
TikTok comment
“Pineapple into my nama. Just juice this half and then we’ll juice the rest of the pineapple.”
She finishes the video by showing off her vibrant coloured drink before tasting it.
Jen says: “Look at how gorgeous this is.
“And don’t forget the cinnamon.”
She captioned the video by adding: “One of the best juice combos for gorgeous skin!”
Her video gained lots of attention with many people rushing to the comments section to share their thoughts.

One wrote: “Purple cabbage is retinol straight into your system.”
Retinol is used in skincare products to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and improve skin tone.
Another added: “Same girl that celery juice is the best.”
A third said: “Vitamin A is active in retinol and pineapple enzymes break down dead skin when in topicals. Definitely trying this.”
Biggest beauty mistakes
Fabulous’ Beauty Editor Tara Ledden has shared the do’s and don’ts when it comes to beauty.
“No matter how much time and money you spend on your beauty routine, if you’re not getting the basics right, the rest is wasted.
“There aren’t many non-negotiables, but these are the biggest beauty mistakes sabotaging your regime.”
- Not wearing SPF: Sun-damage is the main cause of premature skin ageing, so if you want to keep your skin looking plump and glowing, sun cream is vital.
- Using expired products: Best case, they’re ineffective and don’t deliver the results they promise, worst case they cause irritation and infection. The shelf life of beauty products differ – for example, mascara is usually good for 3-6 months while lipstick can last for 9-18 months. Check the ‘POA’ symbol on the packaging (it looks like a jar and will have a number inside for how many months it’s safe once opened. If you can’t remember when you opened your product, throw it away and start again, marking the month and year with a permanent marker on the packaging.
- Not knowing your undertones: If you’re using make-up with the wrong undertones, it’ll never look natural no matter how much you blend it! An easy trick to work out whether you have cool, warm or neutral undertones is to check the veins on your wrist – if they look blue, you have cool undertones, if they’re green, you have warm and if they’re a mix you have neutral.
- Skipping heat protector: It might feel unnecessary, but much like sun damage on the skin, excess heat is the most common cause of hair damage. So, if you want shiny, healthy hair, or you’re trying to grow it longer, using a heat protection product is key.
- Not washing your face before bed: it’s as simple as this, if you’re not washing your face before you go to sleep, everything that’s been on your skin during the day is sitting there for even longer, clogging your pores and drying out the surface. Any skincare applied on top isn’t going to be effective with a layer of dirt underneath, and you’re probably going to end up with dirty pillows too – yuck!
