Botox does not replace skincare, just as a mattress does not replace sheets

Toxin injections – for those who choose to have them – work on muscles and are fantastic on dynamic (mobile) wrinkles, frown lines and mild drooping. But they do nothing for the condition of the skin itself. For the over-30s, a glowy, healthy-looking complexion comes either from a considered lifestyle and solid, diligent topical skincare routine, or a genetic lottery win, never from Botox. Moreover, if any topical skincare product claims to be “Botox in a bottle”, it isn’t. The two are not remotely interchangeable.
