Meet Melissa55. She’s a 60-year-old YouTuber who shares videos about beauty and skin care. Jezebel first came across Melissa on a Facebook message board and it’s a good thing they did because she is everything! Melissa is a mother of two and grandmother of seven and lives in a small town in Tennessee. Besides her obvious Southern charm, Melissa’s skin is noticeably smooth, clear and wrinkle-free, which at 60 is hard for most women to achieve.

In her videos, she discusses her skin care journey and methods she uses to take care of her skin. Ready for this? Melissa doesn’t use moisturizer. Yup, she swears by Retin-A and Retinol. She’s been seeing doctors since age 14 to maintain clear and healthful skin and gets advice from her sister-in-law who is a newscaster. Melissa doesn’t believe in botox or fillers, either. In fact, the only thing she’s had done to her face is eyebrow waxing!

I think it’s safe to say she’s the coolest grandma…ever.
