There are so many face treatmants and skincare items that are good enough to make us look better, but not like someone else. I support the ones that are subtle and not overdone. Sometimes when I look at some girls on Instagram, many of them look alike with so simular cheekbones, lips and lifted eyes. They don't stand out, they're just one of the many.
Elena Poposka Because they start having fillers plumpers and Botox so young, they will be forced to continue as the aging process kicks in, they may have the pout they admire in their twenties but they'll have a maw like Donatella Versace in their 40s. Like you say, they all look the same. It will be interesting to see how they look in ten or twenty years time. If millionaires using the best doctors look like slowly melting waxworks as they age, what on earth will these girls look like?
Yeah or like when people over do it they stretch out that skin and it doesn't always go back as the filler dissipates. It's scary. Or there is one girl I saw and hers separates towards the end of it's life and she has little chunks floating around that you can visibly see. Not for me, man.
I used to work at clinic & I've had Botox a couple of times between my eyebrows & on my forehead, plus fillers in my lips & nasal folds. It looked a little better, but when you start seeing all the clients who look so unnatural & weird, it completely puts you off. I've also found that keeping hydrated, & a good serum with hyaluronic acid (shout out to dermalogica hydrating booster) does a pretty darn good job of keeping the skin youthful naturally.
Hey Hope, It's Dermalogica Hydrating booster. I had a lot of trouble finding a hydrating serum that didn't break me out & didn't irritate my sensitive skin. This one is my holy grail product! Most places that sell Dermalogica will give you a sample if you ask. Give it a go & I hope it works for you too x
Jade Rock Read your comments & was wondering if you would know since you worked at a clinic, what would help "marionette lines" , those lines on either side of your lips that go down, ...at 45, mine are getting bad. I've never had any botox or fillers, but considering it???
Hi Deirdre. I should clarify that I am a massage & spa therapist who happened to work in a clinic that did these kinds of treatments, so I don't want to give the impression of being a trained professional... but, having had a little experience with this, I would look into Restylane. It is a Hyaluronic based product, and my old boss & clients used to rave about it. The other important thing is to research your clinic and make sure you're dealing with someone very experienced. It really is an art form, so you want someone who knows what they are doing. The other, less invasive option is facial Emdermologie. I used to do that treatment at this same clinic & we got some really good results. Check out before & after pictures online. It's pretty cool xxx
Jade Rock Thank you so much. I've actually been looking into Restylane. But will definitely look into the other option as well. And I've watched Botched, on E. Lol!! So I Will Make sure its someone board/state certified plastic surgeon. nd then look at their work. I still can't believe A Dentist or MD can take a WKND COURSE & be certified to do plastic surgery. That's beyond Insane.
I'm 49 & never had anything done. I've been thinking about doing my 11s for years, thank goodness I could never afford it. I started my channel over a year ago and youtube & Instagram has made me so self conscious. but there is a woman that's about 10 Years older than me, she promotes botox & fillers all the time, and when I look at her, I see a 59 year old woman with plastic looking skin, not someone younger. because of the way she looks, it has completely turned me off the botox train. 100% agree, they do not see themselves as they really are...so sad!
In case any of you are interested. I am 46 and have done some looking around. I am not comfortable with doing Botox or Fillers. What I did find, that I am going to try this fall, is LED and Microcurrent facials. They are totally non invasive and rebuild your skins collagen as well as muscle tone.
Vanessa Fletcher. Hello my name is Lydia, I am 49yrs., It's been about 1 year that I started doing PRP pin Vampire Facelift ., And also PRP with a hydronic acid these things are good for the top surface of your skin., Instead of injecting inside your skin you will regret it then later I've seen too many videos and also have ah few friends of mine that have done Botox.,Now after they have stopped using it ., They have this gooey Play-Doh under their skin in front of the four heads ., Don't do it you will regret it later "just do the top surface of your face with treatments like I said Hyluronic acid, PRP pen which is called Vampire facelift they take blood and put in the Centerfuse and spended it., And they put all that good stuff back on face ": what that does gives you a beautiful brilliant on your face like it rejuvenate your face., your skin will glow I think it's a lot better, That's just me I don't like injections cuz I already know what they do., Of course after you do those treatments you have to take care with other treatments at home.,😇👍
Don't dare do it, you're pretty and you don't need Botox to validate it! It's the older generation who deceived the younger generation to do what they do and all because they don't want to look like hopeless older women who consume their shellfish through a needle.
My plastic surgeon friend is going to be 58 and it's getting pretty weird looking when we go to the hot springs together and her face is sort of tight, plastic, and shiny looking with not a wrinkle and the rest of her body is looking much older, especially since she is anorexic and no fat to fill anything out. Sometimes I think she looks good but most of the time it strikes me as weird looking. I realized after looking at her one night that you can pull your lower face up but then your ears look strange and your chin and neck start to sag and there is a general demarcation that is quite obvious. I never want to look like someone who looks like I've had work done so I don't. I gave up on botox and had one bad experience with a filler (filled in a mouth wrinkle with scar tissue) and a bad experience with a CO2 laser. I am heading towards 53 and when I find myself thinking I should maybe do that crap again, my soul jumps up and says, "No. You just aren't. Not an option" Nothing drastic and expensive for me. As Julia Roberts said (something like,) "Your face should tell a story - not the story of your trip to the doctor's office."
I completely agree with Wayne on this one. Lines and wrinkles make a face interesting and unique, and yes, I think that's true for men AND women. When someone had something done to their face, even if you can't pinpoint it, you notice the difference. It creeps me out. Like Courtney Cox' face, or Leah Remini's. They don't look like themselves anymore. But look at Meryl Streep and Susan Sarandon. Wrinkly, authentic, beautiful faces. Just my two cents.
The best face for showing age beautifully is Emma Thompson's. Her forehead is a novel waiting to be written. There is so much going on in that woman's face when she speaks that I just sit in awe. She can really tell a story using her entire body, including her face. Gorgeous. Turns out she's brilliant too so... coincidence?
Chris goes Keto. I agree botox may erase lines but takes shape n bobe structure away from the face. Look at Madonna for example she looks terrible.she had bone structure years ago. And when the beautiful Kylie Minogue was having botox her face changed and looked quite swollen n took her bone structure away luckily i think she calmed down a bit but i think maybe she has a minor bit done.Welcome back Kylie i can now notice a bit of movement in her forehead.but i detect a little bit of it. What horrid stuff it is no ones normal anymore.
I hated the line in my forehead until I realized it was the same line my dad had. its a part of me. I think lines and wrinkles are beautiful on other people--they tell a story. I just wish I could embrace them in myself. love you Wayne!
That's exactly how I feel too. I'm not trying to be younger than 43. Just trying to feel like my best self. Hey, there's a huge community of us more mature youtubers that also partake in botox. LOL. Come to the dark side.
Wayne, thank you for your honest video. I am 53 and never wanted to go down the path of botox or fillers. Reason is that I like the way I look and I am happy with the aging process. I like makeup, concealor and use a skincare routine everyday. My concerns are that the women/men using fillers/botox is that they will perhaps have to continue using for a very long time to achieve the look they have. We really don't know the extent of what it is doing to our system, injecting products into ourselves... I guess I just like seeing natural beauty and natural aging. I'm probably a minority.
Thank you for this. The fillers are getting out of hand, it's scary, especially here in the region (the middle-east) same with botox especially if done by people without a sense of aesthetics or proportion. The Joker brows because of botox, the trout pout, and it really is getting out of hand. I am 50 and haven't done any of the botox/fillers or peels yet, and still I can pull off looking younger than my peers, boils down to genetics, and lifestyle, and skincare. Add to that the heat and sun allergies so that was 70% of photodamage avoided. :-)
Walid Zou'bi i also live in middle east and im starting to actully hate them cause oooomg chilll people ugh....everyone just wants to have more fillers than eceryone they know! its like a compition at this point....and im just there sitting like a natural potato thinkin whats all this fuss about? why cant people just stop copying others and accept the way they look? like im not the prettiest of the bunch. but why would that be soo high in priorities that i change my face completely? like do you not have anything else to offer but beauty?! -realy sorry for this rant if its too much.
Am I right, it's boiling over to the whole region, it's getting scary. I am all for enhancements done within reason, but the way the girls (and some men) are going truly frightening.
"I did botox for a decade and I don't look any different than when I started. It doesn't work!"... the fact that you look exactly the same after a decade is actually an excellent testament to the fact that botox DOES work. I've never had botox and I don't feel strongly either way about it, but the was just a really poor argument.
i had botox at 26 and have gone for it around twice a year ever since but it wasn't because I thought I looked old. I had quite deep 11's between my eyebrows with one much deeper than the other to the point that the start of one eyebrow was was much lower and I always looked angry! I seriously looked like I was miserable and frowning a little bit even when I was completely happy and my face was totally relaxed. It did get to the point that when I looked in the mirror this is all i could see, I started homing in on it and became a little obsessive so decided to do something about it. I researched botox for a good 6-7 months before finally taking the plunge and going and having it done. Im so glad that I did! I chose my clinic very carefully and a botox doctor that had a great reputation and years of experience. I started just having the 11's done but now I have a little in the forehead too just to balance things out but I can still move my eyebrows enough for the result to look natural and be able to express myself through my face. It completely fixed the lines between my eyebrows and to this day people are always shocked to learn I have had botox! Even my own mother did not realise that I had had this done until a few months ago when I told her, and if anyone knows my face its my mother! So it can look very natural, I think that it just depends on a number of factors really but I cant recommend choosing a good experienced doctor highly enough
I'm 22 and have 11's too I look angry even when I'm not, people around me told me why are you mad? But the truth is I'm not. Everytime I look in the mirror it's the only thing I can see. I'm questioning myself, I'm young but why do I have those lines. So sad I'm planning to get botox anytime soon hoping to regain my confidence. 🤞
Couldn't agree more with you. Botox and especially fillers just make you look different but not younger. You hit the nail on the head with this one. It's what I've been thinking for years.
Suchhhhhh a needed video! I love you for this, so direct, honest. Yes, some procedures are getting abused, and a lot of faces started look 'similarly fake'. Disturbing.
As a wrinkle-free 50 year old, I can say my three "secrets" are: paralyze it BEFORE it wrinkles, fill it tastefully before it sags, and regular professional glycolic peels beginning at 30. I see others are making similar remarks about prevention... Botox is amazing for migraines and a host of neurologic ailments, but also the best prevention one can select. These things need not be used in an extreme manner, but over time, can help to maintain a sense of balance. Just my opinion...Wayne looks amazing, and I think his opinions are always worth considering.
YES! I'm so glad someone finally said something. I'm not against it and have never had any botox or fillers but some people really don't realize how silly they're looking. 💛
I love that your praise natural beauty. I'm not against having procedures done to help with one's insecurities, but we live in a time where beautiful young girls are getting their brows lifted and lips done and cheeks filled before they can legally drink. Beauty standards are ridiculous
I love how you are an advocate for being natural and not ever taking things too far. I know you are the same when it comes to the use of makeup and you've really transformed my view of beauty in such a positive way. I've always had low self esteem and since viewing your videos I began to take a much more minimal natural approach to make up application and surprise surprise my self esteem began to rise! You are doing a good thing here! Keep it up!
Im so grateful to this as Ive quit botox too after 10 years . Ive been so used it im having a little trouble liking my face again . My botox eyes were very cat like along with the smooth forehead, now it's worn off my eyes look bigger . I have quit as botox was actually worsening my chronic headaches as ima chronic migraine sufferer. So I'm trying to get used to my old face again. Thank you x
Nothing against Botox or fillers but it has gotten out of hand in my opinion, and just like you said people don't see it anymore because to them is "normal". I rather age and embrace my wrinkles :-) At the end of the day we cannot stop the fact that we age, why are we so obsessed fighting it. Xxx
Adriana M the only thing you can do is eat organic food, and exercise (outdoors not at the gym, the latter stresses the body), drink lots of water, and lead a stress free life (work a career that isnt too crazy, etc). i seen people look better than i do in their 60s (im 25). Dont start late either, you must begin this health conscious journey "before" you lose your youthful face/body. good luck guys, i personally am stuck dealing with an unhealthy family environment, we dont eat healthy...
Hi Wayne, It's just crazy listening to you because I have botox for migraines and it works so well. I went through the same thing that you are talking about. My forehead no only didn't move but it got bigger to the point were my hooded eyes got worse. I finally realized this by having a picture taken of me and my forehead was bigger, the hood of my eyes were swollen looking. Bottom line it aged me!! I still get the botox for my migraines but in different places. I learned my lesson and I'm just going to stick with what the good Lord gave me. Great topic, thank you
Wayne, I think you are right. It makes sense, your theory. I have often wondered why people keep having their face done to the point of so unnatural. I am a recent viewer and I so appreciate your honesty and risk-taking with sharing your feelings. Kathy
Wayne, thank you for your recommendations!! I truly appreciate your honesty! PS: I purchased your brushes, not because I felt you pushed in your videos to purchase them. Simply because I trust that you would not put your name on something unless you 100% approve it. I wanted to say simply: wow!! I started with the eye set. Could not imagine how I ever used any other brushes( sigma, smith, IT cosmetics). Wayne goss brushes are top notch.. I loved them so much, I purchased the rest. Way to go!! Thank you for your honesty. It is a breath of fresh air!
I totally agreed with you, I have to be honest I would like to try the fillers for my under eye just exactly what you did, I had this under eye thing but its small and I use the concealer trick you showed us in a video before you got the fillers and I am fine with that so fillers can wait until I really really need it, I am 36 and my advice to all young ladies is clean their faces, not botox or all the crazy things there are now, thank you Wayne for making this good quality videos, I unsubscribed to many because became so stupid ! A Costarrican fan right here for years 😘 Blessings ❤
I LOVE THIS REVIEW!!!!!! I’m 37 and have been considering fillers but this has been my concern. Thanks for being so HONEST!!!! I love you for this😘 you look great BTW!
Hi Wayne! Your video really spoke to me today. I dipped into the filler pond and now have to wait over a year for it to resolve. My doctor doesn't recommend reversing it. Live and learn.
Oh my gosh me too! 🙈and I literally just left the Botox clinic!!😱 I agree I’m going to start slowly pairing down the Botox and eventually get back to my pre-Botox face 🙏🏼ugh sometimes you’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t.
You are so right Wayne, most of the time fillers and botox only make people look weird, not younger, there are other methods to take care of your skin and improve tone, color etc though there is no magic that can reverse time and make us look young when we are not anymore (sigh) xoxo
I'm 38 and just started Botox - had it done 2xs and I love it. I think if u just do what needs done and don't over do it. It's find. Just enough for youthfulness. My forehead and crows feet and 11s. And I will say it's changed my look to a softer look. Not plastic or fake. If u do it right I believe in it. If u over do it. It does make u look freaky ... mine never helped my migraines but I do get the side effect of a headache across my forehead for about a week. And that sucks. You look so good with nothing u don't need it. Unfortunately aging in my family runs early. So a tab touch up. Doesn't hurt. But warning ⚠️ it can be addicting and most won't just stop there. Know your limits and stay who you are. 💋love ya videos!
I am so grateful for your advice on botox. For the past six months I have been longing to get botox/fillers as I have felt as though I needed it. But after watching your video I have a lot more confidence in myself. I am 48 and was diagnosed with a rare form of liver cancer a few years back, and I used to look in the mirror and think god what an old trout-botox is the solution, when after watching this video and actually looking at myself objectively and not honing in on the faults tat I believed I had- I can see that I don't need it. Yes I do have a few lines around my mouth- but on the whole I don't need it. Also I have looked at the celebrities who have had it and to be quite honest it has actually aged them. Don't get me wrong I love Kylie- but her face in todays paper-she still is a very pretty lady-but it is actually aging her. Thankyou Wayne for your sound advice-your words have made me feel a lot better about myself. Is it possible if you could do a film about how to look good and what products to use/make up tips if you have Cancer and are under going chemo. I know from my own experience that my confidence in my appearance went down hill during treatment-nothing worked-it would give many women confidence in their looks. I am a massive fan of yours. Love Rachel xxx
I think Botox and fillers can cause addiction in young people. Look at all these 20 year olds getting lip injections. Who knows what the long term effects will be.
If fillers have been done well you shouldn't be able to tell people have had done so you wouldn't necessarily know that someone had had good fillers because they look natural. If you know what I mean! x
Fiona Midgley You know plenty of people who have fillers, but you don't know it because it's done properly. These procedures are so much more common than you think.
The thing about Botox I've always noticed is that a 50 year old woman who has had doesn't look younger. You don't look at her and think "wow, she looks 25" no you look at her and think "that woman as clearly had Botox". There's also way too much pressure on women to get it now. It seems to me like any woman in her late 20s is getting Botox because they live in fear of even the tiniest of wrinkles. There is nothing wrong with wrinkles. They are perfectly natural and show that you've lived. It's sad that we are made to feel so ashamed of the simple fact that we are aging.
You have never looked as handsome as you look now! I am really impressed! Glad to hear you got back to your senses and did not end up looking artificial as happens with many people. You woke up while you had time to save your lovely face!!
I have been getting botox injections against severe sweating once a year for the past 12 or 13 years, but never wanted any treatment for vanity. I have always had small hooded eyes, but losing a good amount of weight and getting a bit older, I ended up very tense in the forehead and pested with migraines as I kept my eyebrows/forehead raised to be able to see. Eye specialist said it could not be fixed by blepharoplasty as it's not actually too much skin on my lid but an issue of sunken eyebrows and forehead. I researched a good deal of procedures and decided on ultherapy of the eye and forehead area. At the consultation appointment the surgeon asked all kinds of questions about health issues and I learnt that botox can ease migraines/ tension headaches as well as help with reducing teeth grinding/clenching. Last friday I got my ultherapy and some botox injections into the jaw and the root of the nose together with two spots in the eyebrows. It feels funny and I have that shine effect on the forehead which is weird, but I must say I have had a few good relaxing sleeps since, my jaw area is far from being tense a. f., my eyes can see without me having to raise my eyebrows too much. I am very curious about the results of ultherapy, which should be in full effect in early May.
Of course you don’t suddenly look ten years older after giving it up, you’ve done Botox for more than ten years, your muscles are now used not to move that much, your facial expressions function with that memory even now. You’re saying it’s useless, and just gave you a shiny forehead, and you didn’t look a day younger, but surely also it prevented you from forming wrinkles and looking older
I have a sister who is a botox nurse and has used it consistently on herself from her 20s to now. Shes 35 and she looks 35.no younger. Beautiful girl and no wrinkles but still looks 35.made me think maybe its not just wrinkles that make a person look young maybe... Sagging, suppleness to the skin are big factors. Not really sure what it is but I do agree with his statement
@@Jessofficialchannel I'm in agreement with you! I have 1 line between my brows since I turned 30. I've been conscious of it thinking it makes me look older. However I work at a university and 95% of the time I am mistaken for a student, people think that I am 10 years younger if not more. I think it is more than just wrinkles.
I am 44 yrs old and I have now had Botox twice. The reason I wanted to try it was because I felt like my forehead lines were becoming more prominent and I just looked kind of tired. When I went in for my consultation the nurse didn't think I needed anything, but in the end we tried a tiny amount on my forehead. Needless to say, I loved the effect. It lifted my right eyebrow ever so slightly. No one that knows me even knew that I had anything done, but I could see difference even though it was subtle. I then had it done again about a month ago and I do feel that it makes me look not so tired. I can move my forehead and raise my eyebrows. For me personally, I will probably continue with it. I think it can hard for women to age, and if this makes me feel better about it I'm all for it. That being said, if I ever did go off the rails, with Botox etc, I have people in my life that would let me know!🙂
I totally agree Wayne, I'm 55 and have stopped having botox after over 15 years. It might sound like mumbo jumbo but I'm beginning to except myself as I am, that doesn't mean that I don't care how I look, I still love make up, and am aways on the look out for new ideas and products but the older I get the less self conscience I am. Good skin care, well applied make up and a genuine smile suits me so much better
I be 48 years old and I never trie it and I think nobody need it,because we have make up.When you start botox for some line and get it smooth,then u see next line you never saw before ect.Then people star to get more and more botox.I think nobody need this stuff.
I love that you posted this because it is so true"people get used to that look" with that being said if I could afford it I would like to give it a try. I am 48 and have had nothing done my 11s are crazy
Each to his/her own is what I say. I'm almost 74 and have chosen to do none...probably could use some but I think I've earned every line, wrinkle and sag on my entire body. I still want to look the best I can possibly look but I've chosen to embrace what is going on with my body. As my mother once told me, "Not everybody gets to be old". xoxo patti 🎀
You dont look older now, even years post botox, partially because you skipped 10 years of expression BECAUSE you had the botox. I feel like this is a really flawed mindset because there is not 2 of you that you can make a factual comparison on if a decade of botox did or did not affect you naturally ageing. Sounds a little harsh but thats just how I see it.
I am a big fan of Wayne's. But personally botox has been my savior. I have dabbled on and off with botox with the past 10 years and I have to say it has such a big impact on my ageing. Yo-Yoing through out the years and waiting till it gets too late before i start doing botox for a year or so before falling out for a year... the best advice I wish I told my younger self is... Dont wait till the damage is kicked in before you go back. Just keep it light and consistent. In a few years time I am holding onto the upcoming video by Wayne saying "Why I have gone back to Botox" and I am sure he will do a much better job at explaining what I am trying to say. Watch this space ;)
PK Blondie It does help prevent wrinkles. Your face moves less, therefore less wrinkles form or the wrinkles are not as deep as they would be if you had full movement in your face. Also, not all Botox results in a "frozen" face as you said. Botox can be really natural looking if done right and if that is the look someone is going for.
This is one more issue that deals with "luck" (or genetics). I've never had *any* sort of cosmetic procedure done to my face. I took roaccutane 15 years ago and then 8 years ago again and that's it. I'm a 36 yo man and I gesticulate so much that people think I went to Looney Toons college. I have no wrinkles, anywhere. So, it's not really fair to give botox so much credit when your beautiful well taken care of skin might be doing a big chunk of the work.
I quit using Dysport about 9 months ago. I only used it for about a year and a half but what made me stop was exactly what you described about your friends. I have friends that have been doing different procedures little by little for years and you are 100% right that they don’t really understand what they are doing to their faces anymore because their own perception of how they look changes. I don’t want to look like that because I have also noticed that they all look the same. I am not going to lie, my frown lines still bother me a bit, but I am going to work on accepting my aging for what it is. Thanks for the video!
I absolutely agree Wayne. All this work being done constantly makes people look bizarre at times, but the person thinks it looks good. I also worry what the long term effects may be found later on. Natural is still beautiful.
no botoxxxx!! I just recently heard of it for migraines, I'd opt for the special ear piercing instead. You do look the same! Love that you continuously promote embracing and enhancing natural, these young ladies are being force fed that tinkering with your face is a normal thing. Cheers and good morning from SC, USA! xo
I'm not trying to be rude but you'd "opt for the special ear piercing"? Do you have chronic migraines? Because I do. I've tried literally EVERY possible treatment for it here in the US, including botox, and nothing has worked for me. You don't get to CHOOSE what treatment you want with migraines. You use what happens to work for you and every person is different. Your statement makes it sound like we can just choose which treatment we want to use on our migraines and it will work. That's just not true.
Vlogging with Migraines so true! My husband suffers from migraines and people just want to equate it to a "headache". I have rheumatoid arthritis and people also trivialize my pain and equate it with some "painful joints". I get exactly what you're saying. I also know people who got the "special ear piercing" and it absolutely DID NOT work for them. I know more people that it didn't work for than did. I started asking people because my husband considered it but now that We know it fails most of the time, I don't know anymore. He is considering Botox.
I hope both of you re able to find some relief, Carissa. If your husband opts for Botox, I hope it works for him like it did for Wayne. For me, it did not but I still recommend people try it. The other issue I had is that it is painful. It's 31 injections, I believe, in the forehead, temples, back of the head, and shoulders. The shoulders and back of the head are not painful to me but the temples and forehead are. I had 2 sessions of botox about 3.5 months apart and the 2nd one seemed to hurt more. Some of the injection sites in my temples actually continued throbbing and hurting for about 30 min after the injections. I almost passed out in both sessions. Both times, the doctor let me just lay there for about 10 minutes after to calm down and regain composure so I didn't feel like I was going to pass out. Even so, had it worked on my migraines, I would have continued it. I'm sure you and your husband both understand the desperation that comes with chronic pain at times.
Carissa Fleming make sure and sign up for the Botox savings card. It pays a lot to help with the insurance deductibles. Look it up online as Botox savings card. Botox has helped me so much. I can't recommend it enough. 31 shots though, so be prepared.
In my 30s with 2 young children, many sleepless nights, and never had anything done. We're designed to age. Ageing had a good purpose and I embrace it. I know nobody cares about my wrinkles and if they do care about it, it's for themselves, not for me! I hydrate almost exclusively with green juice - at least 1 litre a day. As well as distilled water! It truly has helped.
I had Botox years ago for the "marionette" lines around my mouth. Don't know what happened, whether my skin rejected it or what, but I ended up with bumps there and they were obvious in the sunlight. I also developed a facial cyst that required surgery. Are these issues connected? I'll never know but now I have a slight facial scar. Any tips for concealing that would be wonderful. I did learn, however, that Botox is not for everyone and I much prefer my more natural aging look and using makeup tips you so wonderfully share.
I believe both are nice in moderation. If I had extra money, I'd do my armpits and forehead. You don't have to freeze your forehead! You can take a moderate dose. Tati Westbrook says, she does botox, and she has all the expression range she needs, she looks natural.
Sarah injecting botox in armpits stops sweating for about a year or less. I know you have to be careful because of blood vessels, but that's only a reason to choose well-acclaimed cosmetics salon.
I get Botox for my atrocious migraines (the only thing that works!) & I have to get it on my forehead, all over my scalp & down my neck...the smooth shiny forehead & slightly impaired eyebrow mobility took some getting used to & I certainly don't think I look younger at 41 because of it! Possibly it was even more jarring since i've only been getting the Botox for about 5 years & had never had any tinkering done before that...when my forehead was suddenly a featureless billboard, I kinda felt like I'd lost some character. I'm fairly used to it now (& honestly I would eat live scorpions if it helped with the migraines), but those freaky first months, yeesh...I totally get where you're coming from! Good message. 💙
Oh, yeah, when I got it done the first and realized I couldnt move my eyebrows. NOT COOL. We tweaked it a bit until I could move them more freely. Not total movement but better than none.
I’m 35 and have yet to have Botox. I️ find Botox doesn’t make people look younger just shiny and puffy:). There’s something beautiful in aging gracefully and wrinkles. Shows that people have truly lived!
. I had a face lift and I look a bit younger than I did, but it was very expensive and extremely painful. I have a little Botox now and some fillers, but my doctor knows when to say NO MORE to me. I trust him not to make me look freaky. I am 52.
Yeah its not natural. Why inject artificial crap or go through botox cycles that'll take loads of money you could've saved? Botox, surgery, fillers, etc, unless you have a medical problem, is useless and is pretty much a scam from the industries to take your money. Nothing lasts forever. What i have noticed is that the plants God gave humanity can definitively rejuvenate us when used correctly. Proper health keeps the kingdom of God (our bodies) thriving. God bless.
I think you're completely right Wayne. I too have migraine Botox. I have gotten so used to how I look now I don't remember what I looked like before. I have also had very subtle lip fillers. I have spoken to friends and they still notice they are bigger but I think they still look 'small'. There is definitely a danger of going to far without even realising. I'm not against having any work done however when doing so people definitely need be careful.
As a vet I've seen what Clostridium bacteria (there are various types) can do to the body, so I think it'll always be a "no, ta" for me. The main procedure I don't like the look of is the lip fillers, aka "trout pout" or "duck lips" Too often it's done badly and looks awful.
kia ra the people WHO overdo IT... The people who looks normal that du Botox (which is most of the people) u don't think about it and don't noticed Botox
I think Botox can be a helpful little lift to fix things you really hate: for me I have a very asymmetrical v-shaped pinch in between my eyebrows that looks like someone put a dent in my forehead--hated it, love that I don't have to look at it (I don't do the rest of my forehead...expensive to maintain and hey, that's what fringe is for). But you do have to be very strong with your provider, who is always full of little helpful ideas to "fix" you in other ways. It can be a slippery slope.
I think Botox has it's place. I've been getting it done for about 10 years now and I think that yes, it's easy to over do it. I've been getting less units but more often and I'm liking the results. I still get movement everywhere, my forehead is not frozen or shiny but the movement does not cause the skin to "fold" as much. I get it often, every 2-3 months or so but tiny amounts just to maintain the look. I don't expect not to have wrinkles (I'm 44) but I do feel I look little more rested with Botox. I also get fillers once every couple of years under my eyes because I naturally have some hollowness there.
Great 👍🏻 post Wayne. I'm 53 and started botox and fillers in my late 40's. It seems we have drawn similar conclusions over time. Last year I gave up my botox/filler habit because I noticed a bad trend. I was becoming less and less satisfied with the results which ironically lead to more botox/filler. Now, I take really good care of my skin and content myself with that. And I look like me! OMG the shiny forehead LOL OMG I couldn't frown if my life depended on it. If it's working for someone else, wonderful!!!! No judgement here.
hi i started having botox when i was 39 and have it 2 or 3 times a year, i'm 43 now. Not trying to look younger, just prevent lines getting deeper, which would make me look older lol x
Shirley L I agree it's good to soften what we already have ( those dam deep set lines) but making us look younger it never will. it will make us look good for our age in moderation but never younger.
Now that's being silly.. having Botox doesn't mean that everyone wants it to look younger. your just making yourself look fresher rather than a tired old bag.. that's all
Hi Wayne: I agree with your comments, and even though a lot of people say they are not trying to look younger , just better without the deeper lines. What I've noticed is that the expression lines just go elsewhere on the face, hence, all these actress with noses riddled with bunny lines, or instead of the usual laugh lines around the eyes, now there is a network of lines starting from the end of the eyes going straight up, so basically, you can't fool mother nature, in the long run in my opinion you end up looking older with more lines then you started out with.
Really liked this honest video. I'm 37 and being saturated with a young look constantly, where everything on the face is so smooth and plump can make anyone feel a bit inadequate. Even after this I just feel that botox is too much for me. I wouldn't want my face to change, in a way that couldn't be fixed immediately if I didn't like the result. Makeup is the best way for me to enhance good things and play down the things that I may not like so much. Great video.x
Let's all take a moment and remember what Botox really is then are you going to keep saying more please my mother didn't even color the gray out of her hair now I do because I hate it but my father loved her just as much if not more than the day he married her with an 18" waist and beautiful blonde hair. To me that is all that matters she was a self confident woman who didn't care what others thought about her she was intelligent all her grandchildren looked up to her until her last day she left us too soon but always taught me to look beyond ones outward appearance I'm not saying they shouldn't have good hygiene I'm saying look at someone for who they are beyond their looks she had three beautiful daughters but we never looked down on anyone because of her. My father was crushed the day she died and she never did anything to make herself look younger. I'm in the med field and it's all Botox and fillers with these new doctors coming out of school I don't get it other than money and people will pay but you go to the wrong person and you will "pay" it's all in the way you handle the Botox I've seen some scary shit in my days. So if you choose to walk down this path you better make sure your doctor is handling this in the proper way as directed on the bottle or you might end up in your own scary situation for me I'll take the extreme low dose retin a twice a week and call it there. No botulism toxin for me.
Have you had Botox for migraines? I'm on topamax for mine right now but I believe it has been making me sick for the last 10 or so years. Don't get me wrong it does the trick it has turned 3-6 migraines a month to 1-2 max a year but I have stomach/ intestinal syndromes/ diseases and I just thought that was getting worse with my anxiety also. But if it's the topamax making my problems worse then I'd like some of my life back and it would be nice to get rid on one of my medications that I have to take of Botox could hold my migraines at bay I'm not into it for cosmetic reasons I think there are better ways and I mean safer ways to work on that but if it has some medical purpose the I would consider it for the migraines maybe still a safety issue and you still have to be sure your doctor is handling it correctly.
Arab Rosesss thank you for the clarification that I was speaking about my mother I appreciate the correction good to know there are still strangers looking out for you thanks!!
i think people who want that flawless face is just because they see to much flawlessness on social media!!! Nobody looks like that it is not real it is FANTASY JUST BE SIMPLE PLAY WITH MAKE UP GET A GOOD SKINCARE ROUTINE AND AGE GRACEFULLY ITS WHAT HAPPENS ITS CALLED LIFE CAN'T STOP IT.....EMBRACE IT😜
I'm 46 and proud of every fine line I have. Why? Because I have so many friends who didn't have the luxury to reach my age. I have 3 kids and I'm more interested in keeping them happy, healthy, and well cared for. My husband loves me for me and couldn't care less if I'm fat, skinny, or wrinkled. Once I hit 40, I started to live my life for ME and not give two shits what people think about my looks. It's liberating. More people should try it.
I know, I know, I'm late watching this. You look marvelous, btw! We all go through fads and what we think are life changing routines, when, in fact, they are lessons. Be them long or short, we learn from them. We learn more of our true selves, and begin to love who we really are. We are not always at our best, but "... those who matter won't mind." Many hugs and blessings!
Wayne I am 51 Did a tear trough procedure for eye bags. Mine weren't that bad 700 dollars later couldn't tell. done Botox no difference I have good skin seems for me a waste of money maybe not for all. so disappointed by results. thanks Jennifer
I think it can make some people look a little strange. So called "flaws" give people character and they appear more interesting IMO. Being okay with your age (embracing your humanity) gives a sense of confidence in who you are. To me this is beautiful.
Why do we get sucked in to thinking we need to look a certain way. It reminds me of the Twilight Zone episode. Why be a "sheeple". Love the person you are. Wayne, you are fantastic!
I think you look amazing and you're the only one telling about make up and things that i'll listen too cause you're not all bs like a lot of others.. Ive never had any kind of boxtox or surgery and my lips are practically non existant. but its me ..thats how i like it. I say just be you..who the hell wants to look like a plastic not so fantastic anyways
I 10000% agree with you. I used to think I would want it but looking at so many ppl who have done it, while alot of them look good in photos, they all look bizarre in reality. I go with the derma pen\plasma facial routes and great skincare and face massages to be honest
Do you have a cold? I can't figure it out, but your voice sounds slightly deeper and sounds slower? I liked botox , but if was only lasting for 10 weeks a time, so too expensive to carry on with. I work outside for a living, so I was getting it to try and counteract the damage the elements are causing. It's a losing battle 😏
I was going to get Botox next month for my crows feet. I absolutely hate them, and they are the only thing I see when I look in the mirror. When I wear makeup (and I don't wear a lot) I think they look worse. I would never get anything else done especially my lips xx
I get botox and I love it. It can always be adjusted (more or less, or in different locations) to achieve what you want. You can have a minimal adjustment or a big one. From what I find botox is safer than fillers. Botox also wears off, its not a permanent thing... just find a high qualified person to perform this and someone you really like.
I'm 36 and I have gotten Botox for the past three years. I started when I noticed lines on my forehead starting to develop. I don't use Botox as a way to look 22. It isn't meant to work that way and clearly I am nowhere close to 22. I use Botox as prevention! I use minimal amounts to prevent those deep lines from forming (I am a squinter) and make sure to drink lots of water and try to take care of myself. While I do get comments saying I don't look my age, they key to ANYTHING dealing with cosmetic procedures is to do them in moderation. A good doctor won't let you overdo it because that's his reputation on your face!
Love your channel, Wayne. I agree. Overdone faces are everywhere and it looks odd. I do like a frozen forhead under make up, but not at the expense of natural looking and emotive eyes. With today's skin care product and implement choices, i.e retinol and dermrolling, I think people are able to look their best and without injections. Aging gracefully--who knew?! Peace, love & light.
I'm 51 and never have had anything done...Maybe I'm just old school but I would rather just take as good care of my skin as possible and hopefully, grow old gracefully ....:) HOWEVER, I do understand why people do it, especially in today's world, but you're right it just ends up looking a bit "off" and I think the temptation to keep on tweaking things would be too great...Good for you to come out with this video and make people feel that it's ok not to get anything done and just be the best you possible!!
I really agree with most everything you said. I have had plastic surgery yet I was in my very late twenties at the time. I'm 39 now and looking back...I would not do it again. Im as vain as the next, I use whatever cream, serums, and treatments I can afford. But when you look back at true beauty in the 50's and before, you can guess someone's age and appreciate if they aged well, today you don't look at a person and appreciate their beauty, I guess weather or not I think she had "work done". It's a shame. My life, my kids, my love, my genetics and my experiences are what gave me my few greys and smile lines. I do have to remind myself to appreciate them while eating right, exercising, and taking care of my skin. Our appearance is a outward interpretation of our experiences!
Drink bone broth and collagen smoothies every day + vitamine c + zinc + hyaluronic acid supplement and good nutrition , lots of hydration and more sleep are keys 👍
Thank you so much you are so right bone broth and all the above you mentioned are the best treatments you could ever use, and Now with a coronavirus they have banned Botox injections even though this is very devastating even though I have used Botox all my life I guess I have no choice now to start eating healthy and getting extra collagen in my body the natural way but I will still miss my Botox even just for that little top up but due to the coronavirus they have stopped the Botox which is very devastating.😒
Oh man - you make me so happy every time I watch your videos - with the increasing commercialism of youtube, you are almost like the last one standing uncorrupted by it all and worthy views and subscriber's trust! Great life and beauty philosophy.
hey, just a little bit of constructive criticism : i completely agree there is no need for 3 cameras filming from 3 different angles. i love that your filming style is natural and genuine. but pretty please improve the sound situation! :) it's especially difficult for international viewers, there's like an echo that's covering the british accent (which is to me a bit more difficult than the american one- that one i hear a lot in the movies, at least more often than the british). love you and appreciate you very much, Wayne!
johanna doe unfortunately Wayne has explained in other videos that he cannot do anything about the sound due to the glass windows bouncing the sound back. He'd have to rearrange his house to film and he doesn't want to do that.
Thank you Kiwigirljacks. I have mentioned the sound issue before. I film in a stone wall room. Unless i get them dug up and replaced with carpets, nothing about the sound will change. I like the floors, so alas, nothing i can do sadly.
Wayne Goss ahh that's right.. it was the stone, not the windows. The echo doesn't bother me at all, but I'm of British descent so I'm used to the accents 😉 keep the floors I say! 😊💕
kiwigirljacks i think that a microphone that stays closer to his mouth would block the sound coming from the room's walls. record the sound on a different device and then synchronise it with the video. it's not that difficult if you use a clapping/beeping sound in the beginning of the video to mark the point where the camera's sound and the soundrecorder's should overlap. people do even record in the middle of traffic noise using that method for filming pranks and other dumb stuff like that :P ;)
johanna doe a closer mike often gives a worse sound quality and to have to record the audio somewhere else (on a different device in the same room would no doubt produce the same result) would be an awful hassle. I understand where you're coming from.. but we'll just have to love Wayne regardless I'm afraid 😊 👍
I have never done Botox and I’m not planning on. I tend to obsess over things and I think if I start with that, I couldn’t stop and, like you said, I would not see my real face anymore. I feel often Botox looks very obvious to me, especially when the eyebrows and the eyebrow arch are unnaturally high. Sometimes I see ladies where a doctor did a nice settle job though. But I still wonder about Long term effects. People seem to brush this off completely and believe it’s “out the system” after a couple month. But the truth is that this is a billion dollar industry and Botox probably makes sure there will be no Long term study ever at all!
I never thought of it that way, that is, that because you see yourself everyday, you don't realize how different you may look. I always wondered how these celebrities who have had work done, poorly I may add, don't realize how odd they look.... Wow! That's why!
