Dr Turegano shared the skincare secret as part of a series on the "sometimes-strange anti-aging tips I learned from my Japanese mom."
The video kicks off with a photo of Turegano with her mom, whose skin is clear and minimally lined.
The older woman is then shown demonstrating how to use a small wooden brush to sweep all over the skin.
The doctor goes on to explain how the anti-aging technique is called "dry brushing" and is used in Ayurvedic medicine.
She is quick to add that although there's no scientific evidence to back up the routine, it may improve the skin.
"It's thought to have benefits like exfoliation and increasing circulation," she claims.
The video then switches to Dr Turegano's mom talking as she quickly performs the brushing routine.
She stands confidently, holding her small wooden brush, and begins sweeping the bristles all over her body.

"I usually do two to three minutes every morning," she says quietly.
"You'll have all clothes off of course. Totally naked alright?" she adds with a smile.
The video continues to show her mom lying flat on her back, brushing her bare legs.

She describes the importance of traveling up towards the heart.
Commenters are impressed, with one saying: "She is GLOWING"
Another added: "She has aged gracefully."
But one follower is skeptical and said: "My skin would turn red and bleed."
At the end of the video, Mamina's mom happily holds up her brush while still wearing her gym shorts and T-shirt.
She grins and says: "Happy brushing!"
