Your mother's got the real secret. She doesn't wear a lot of makeup. No clog-your-pore foundations, pressed powder or other types of gunk sold to women who convince themselves they need this kind of garbage day in and day out.
One's natural skin is the essense of beauty as your mother clearly knows. That's why her skin is as terrific as you describe.
