Warren explained that she learned the affordable hack from a family member.
She recalled asking her "beautiful" cousin Tootsie what her skincare secret was at a family function years ago.
Her late cousin not only shared her go-to product but also her unique technique for applying it.
"She said, 'Pond’s Moisturizer every morning, every night, and never wash your face,'" Warren said.

According to Pond's, the moisturizer is designed to be easily absorbed into the skin.
The manufacturers say the product "locks in moisture to hydrate deeply while significantly reducing dryness."
A key anti-aging ingredient in the daily moisturizer is occlusives, which help hydrate the skin.
Medical professionals at Michigan State University explained how occlusives work.
"Occlusive ingredients create a physical barrier on top of the skin to keep skin moist and hydrated," they said.

After the humectants loosen the dead cells, they hydrate the skin by drawing moisture from deeper layers.
