A stunning mum and daughter – who look like sisters despite having 23 years between them – have thanked their gruelling gym workouts and sharing fashion tips for their youthful looks.

Mum-of-two Andrea Malczewski, 34, is forever having to explain to people that her 57-year-old mum, Sharon Gause, is her mother and not her sister.

The hairdressers say they love being called sisters, as it makes their inseparable bond even stronger.

“People are always complimenting my mum and saying how awesome she is, it’s good that she looks after herself and keeps super fit for her age,” Andrea, who lives in Hawaii, said.

“She often asks for my advice when shopping, we tend to wear similar things, but she will never buy anything that would make her look like she is trying to be young.

“My mum loves to wear skin tight midi dresses but would never wear a mini one like I do.

Andrea grew up watching her mum being a hairdresser, so she decided to follow in her footsteps.

“She is my go-to-girl if I ever need anything as I am with her, I think I definitely help keep her young,” she said.

Mum-of-two Sharon also has a son Jason, 32, who also lives in the US, and two grandchildren, Kiya, 12, and Adrienna, nine.

She loves being glamorous and said hubby Rob says she looks better now than when the pair married 37 years ago.

Sharon, who also puts her youthful appearance down to always wearing sunscreen, said she loves going shopping with Andrea, as she gives her an honest opinion.

The duo have even completed four marathons together and nine half marathons in a bid to stay fit.

“I live a very healthy lifestyle by running each week and eating healthily, but I do love a bit of chocolate,” she said.

“My husband Rob says I look better now than I did when I married him 37 years ago.

“I have always been into makeup but Andrea keeps me up to date with what products are best and I always moisturise and wear sunscreen.”
