She recently took to her platform to discuss youthfulness after she was unexpectedly asked to show her ID despite being in her 30s.
âIâm travelling the States right now and I just had a drink at my hotel bar and the waitress IDâed me,â Chloe told her followers. âI was so honoured and happy about that.â

âAnd then she saw that I was in my 30s on my ID and she was like âok whatâs your secrets – write them down for me’.â
The beauty influencer was quick to recognise that genetics are massively influential on the way a person looks. Nevertheless, she believes a supplement has helped her maintain a youthful complexion.
âMind you thereâs a bit of genetic element to it, my mum also does look young for her age,” she disclosed, adding: “I have been religiously taking NMN for a few years now.”
NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) supplements have become widely recognised among scientific circles for having unique properties that act as a buffer against the side effects of ageing.
Research published in the Journal of Advances in Nutrition confirmed the anti-ageing effects of the supplement after discovering that it could âmitigate age-related disorders such as oxidative stress, DNA damage, neurodegeneration and inflammatory responses”.
The research, published in November 2023, pointed out that further research is needed before firm conclusions can be drawn on the benefits of NMN for skin ageing.
âThis is supposed to help prevent and slow down the ageing process. Itâs a precursor to NAD, which declines as we age,” Chloe explained.
âThis really can help you with energy, metabolism, as well as DNA repair.â

The influence went on to volunteer additional tips that she relies on for a youthful glow, starting with her diet.
âI absolutely swear by cutting down on sugar and taking a high dose of Omega threes,â she said. âDoing those two things; my complexion has cleared up so much and has [got] a lot more bouncier and dewy.”
She continued: âOther things that have given me a youthful glow have definitely been cold showering, using vitamin C in the morning on my skin and also jojoba oil.â
Though the jury is still out on the effectiveness of individual beauty routines for promoting youthfulness, a wealth of scientific research has backed the benefits of a healthy lifestyle for younger-looking skin.
