Will believe she is a grandmother??

Qin Ling is 50 year-old,a mother-of-two - she is also a GRANDMOTHER of one, has both astounded and delighted the internet by her radiant and youthful appearance. And her 'secret' is straightforward and simple: she sleeps naked once a week and has hot baths.

Qin caught the attention of reporters in her native China after her daughter arranged a photo shoot for her mum's birthday and posted the resulting images online. Understandably, everyone was clamouring to be let in on her 'secret'. 

But as the Shanghaiist reports, Qin's regime is down to thriftiness more than anything.

As a divorced, single mother she explains how she simply didn't have that much money to spend on herself. Instead, she found ways of keeping up her skin care regime without having to spend a lot of money by incorporating face-patting and a special face mask of cucumber, yogurt, honey and pearl powder into her routine.

When it comes to her love life 

Her fame has of course had quite a few would-be suitors forming an orderly queue - some of whom are a good 20 years her junior. However, toyboys hold no appeal for Qin - she says she is looking for someone more her age whom she can grow old with.

But what IS face patting?

For the uninitiated, face patting (or tapping) is thought to be a good way of giving your skin a 'work out', and by doing so,you improve blood circulation in the face.

The areas to tap / pat are the under eye area, the brow bone, the bridge of the nose and along the laugh lines.

As for sleeping naked...

The purported benefits of sleeping in nothing but your birthday suit are numerous and vary greatly.

Sleeping in the buff can help us get a better quality of sleep because our natural body temperature regulates itself more efficiently (which can help burn off fat).

And Qin may be on to something, as the very same human growth hormone helping you burn fat is also our body's anti-ageing agent.
