Seven in 10 women swear by a piece of beauty advice passed down from older family

SWNS

The beauty tips most likely to be passed down through the generations include never going to bed in make-up, moisturising daily – and don’t pick spots.   A study of 2,000 women found 68 per cent swear by a piece of advice passed down from older friends or relatives, with ‘less is more’ when it comes to make up, and drink a glass of water each morning also among the top 40.   Others have sworn by the advice to pat their face dry instead of rubbing to avoid irritation and to wash in cold water to ‘close’ pores.   Now, 51 per cent  of today’s parents have themselves passed down some of the  beauty knowledge they've inherited to their own children.   The research was commissioned by Vitabiotics Perfectil, whose spokesperson said: “Advice around staying hydrated, getting enough sleep and resisting the temptation to pick at blemishes is as true today as it ever was.   “We believe that beauty starts from within. When grandmothers and mothers share beauty tips with their children, it's more than just passing on knowledge."

00:00She's so pretty.

00:01Just look at her.

00:11Beauty advice I've heard is drink lots of water because that will plump out your skin.

00:16Sleeping well.

00:17Don't over-line your lips but don't under-line your lips.

00:19Keep your products natural as possible.

00:21Exfoliation but not too much.

00:23Moisturise.

00:24Don't use 100 different products in a week.

00:26My number one beauty tip that I've always passed down to Betty is always wear a SPF.

00:30I think just sort of showing her the right trends and where to buy things.

00:34She knows all the trendy latest products which perhaps would have passed me by.

00:38She gets me with the sparkles.

00:40My tip for my mum is to never stress because stress will ruin your day.

00:48But she's right. Stress affects a lot on your beauty because stress means you don't sleep well

00:55which is really important.

00:57I think it's really important that we pass down advice through the various generations

01:00because there is so much information out there and it's not always from a trustworthy source.

01:06I know that I would never tell her to do something that I thought was bad for her.

01:09It would always be done with the best intentions and hopefully she'll listen to me.

01:13I think smiling is important because it helps brighten up someone's day.

01:20What I think is beautiful in Janice is that she has more confidence and now she's glowing.

01:27You just look really, really nice and I love the colours you used on your lips.

01:31Well obviously I love Betty's eyeliner because she sparkles.

01:36People say she's a sparkly girl. I'm very lucky.
