“72?! WHAT’S THE SECRET?” another asked.
“This is hopecore to me,” a third said.
To which Paris shared another snap of her grandmother in a swimsuit, flashing an equally detailed, colourful tattoo on her thigh.
“If this photo doesn’t symbolise that!” she added.
“I’m not kidding this cured my fear of ageing,” someone else commented.
And it’s not just Paris’ grandma that looks younger than her years.
In another TikTok, she shared a look at her mum, who sported a pink crop top and matching skirt, along with a pair of fluffy white wings.
She pouted and and posed for the camera, with Paris once again writing over the top: “When they say ‘looks don’t last forever’ but this is my 55-year-old mum!”
“I was waiting for the mum, I figured this was you!” one person commented.
“I came from the grandma one and girllllll you never gotta worry about a damn thing,” another wrote.
“Your mum is 21 I swear!” a third marvelled.
As someone else said “the genes are phenomenal” in Paris’ family.
How to look amazing in your 50s
A GP has revealed the best anti-ageing skincare routine to help you look younger in your fifties.
Dr Ginni Mansberg, from Sydney in Australia, said that your skin will become more sensitive in the decade after you turn 50 – so you’ll have to “up your skincare game”.
She told the Express: “At this age, most women go through, or have just hit menopause.
“What comes with this hormone change is sensitivity.
“Plus rosacea often makes an unwelcome appearance at this time causing flushing, redness, dilated blood vessels, and burning/ stinging.”
Ginni cited a Dutch study which found that nearly one in three women who had started or been through the menopause suffered dry, itchy or red skin triggered by “shaving, weather, toiletries and emotions”.
The GP added that strong skincare products can actually worsen sensitive skin.
She said: “You might need to cut back on using Vitamin C and Alpha Hydroxy Acids for a bit until your skin settles down.”
Prescription Vitamin A, known as Tretinol, can also irritate sensitive rosacea skin – so it best to go for Retinal, a gentler type of Vitamin A.
Ginni recommended microneedles, which stimulate the growth of collagen, elastin and new skin cells.
Microneedles, which are often less than one millimetre long, work by puncturing the outer surface of your skin – causing tiny injuries which send your skin’s internal upkeep systems into overdrive.
She said: “Everything you’ve been doing up until now needs to continue but you might want to turbocharge your skincare by adding some microneedles.
“New technology has allowed us to make microneedles out of hyaluronic acid which is hard enough to penetrate the skin, but then dissolve in the outer layer of the skin.
Hyaluronic acid has anti-ageing properties of its own, and allows a controlled release of active ingredients into worn-out skin.
But speaking to Fabulous Online, Paris explained there are a few tips the women swear by to stay looking young.
And the top secret is that neither of them have ever smoked.
“My grandma has never smoked or drunk alcohol, and my mum has never smoked either,” she said.
Both women have always made sure they’re fully protected in the sun, especially on their face.
And neither uses pricey skincare products either, as Paris said her grandma “uses the cheapest products on the shelf in regards to moisturiser, a make-up remover and make-up products”.
She also “makes sure she’s well put together before she’s left the house” and will “dress beautifully, have her jewellery on and her make-up done”.
