Botox has been the leading cosmetic procedure for well over a decade. Many women and men get Botox to help reduce wrinkles, but is it the only option? It turns out, you don’t need to poke your face or spend a fortune for results.
We decided to break down the worst areas for aging skin and how you can treat them for Botox-like results without going for the real thing.
Eyes
Every time you smile or move your face, your eye area is moving with it. Because of this, it tends to get wrinkles and sag faster and worse than anywhere else on your face. Combine that with delicate and thin skin – your eye area can be a lot to handle when trying to keep wrinkles at bay. Many women over 40 will look to Botox to relieve aging eyes, but you can get great results without ever going near a needle.
The growing popularity of Botox sent scientists into a frenzy to try and develop ingredients that could mimic the results without a huge price tag or downtime. The result was Essenskin, a powerful peptide used to formulate our Eye Recovery Serum. Much like Botox, this peptide works to relax facial muscles, leading to fewer static wrinkles around your eyes. It will also give results that last longer than Botox since you won’t need to go back to the doctor every few months for more injections.
Lips
Lip wrinkles and lines around your mouth can be caused by genetics, UV rays, or bad habits. No matter where they come from, everyone agrees that they are an unwanted side effect of getting older. Many women and men will end up getting botox around their mouth and lips to help stop lines, but it turns out that it can be dangerous and not as effective as you’d think
When using Botox around your lips, it can cause unwanted swelling or drooping. Instead, use the power of antioxidants to heal damaged skin and revive your lips. By using a bit of eye serum around your mouth as part of your daily routine, it will help plump lips and fade lines just like it would to your eyes. Best of all, you don’t have to pay for expensive Botox or even more products in your routine! Your eye serum will work wonders around your lips!
Forehead
The forehead is the most common area to get treated by Botox because it suffers from static wrinkles. Static wrinkles are formed from repeated facial movements and can be some of the hardest to reverse. Scientists in skincare have spent decades trying to replicate the results of Botox in a topical treatment and came up with Matrixyl, a powerful but safe peptide that makes our Repair & Release Cream so effective.
Matrixyl is unlike any other peptide because of how much science and testing has gone into it. In trials, they were able to help reduce the depth of wrinkles giving a more youthful appearance. The best part about Matrixyl is that it’s going to provide long-term benefits if used daily as part of your skincare routine. Instead of making an appointment every three months to shell out even more money on Botox, using your Repair & Release Cream twice daily will deliver similar results without the pain or cost!
