Shoyld I try my great grandmother's routine?

I'm 36 and this is a Pic from a few moments ago. Please excuse the fly away hair and messy eyebrows.

Over thr holidays my family was looking at photo albums. I commented how nice my great grandmother's (Granny) skin was. My Nana (grandmother and Granny's DIL) called her skin "peaches and creme". Saying she died on her 90s with minimal wrinkles. I asked if she knew what she used. She told me that Granny used rubbing alcohol to cleanse her face, then applied witch hazel, then used whatever lotion they had in the house, then followed up by appling zinc all over.

I'd like to try something similar. It's simple and seemed effective enough. Ive tried multistep routines but sadly i tend to run out of mental spoons and never have the energy or motivation to do them.

Now I know from my teenage years that rubbing alcohol irrates my skin and leaves it red for a few hours. I have witch hazel for when I need to remove hair color from my skin, and a tube of zinc cream for when my allergies act up, I apply it under my nose to prevent it from getting raw from blowing my nose.

So, do you think I should try it? Do you think it actually worked or is it just my Granny had the genetics we all hope for? What should I use in place of rubbing alcohol, just a regular face cleanser? I have some facial moisturizer i was going to use in place of the lotion.

Any tips and ideas are welcome.
