I shop at Neimans, and Saks, go to the car wash and the grocery..and my skin looks great, I look younger, which in turn makes me feel better, and I could not be happier...you are making an uneducated statement...the kinks are worked out, Botox has been around for many years...I researched it long and hard. As anyone would before messing around with a main feature. There is always going to be someone out there that goes over board with anything...that does not mean everyone else has, or looks over botoxed....it does not look bad on EVERYONE.
i concur the things wich are beeing said about ageeing cracefully does not equal not working for it and tr to look best.
i age gracefully as for me that is a state of mind and a dignity that comes but hell yes i do take care of me and try to look best for my age. that does not mean i want to look as i did as a 20 something. no it just means i want to look as good as it is possible for a 30++ an who said that when you are in your thirties you must have wrinkles saggin skin hanging boobs and a size xxl just to look like you aged gracefully?
some women are blessed by nature and look fabulous with 30+ other do not (to whatever reasons) and there is nothing wrong with using the things modern times brought us to keep up with the outer appereance to match our inner beauty

The main word is "I". I haven't seen a good botox job. I never said they didn't exist. I can only speak from my highly educated personal experience. Its my opinion. I am entitled to it. If you disagree that is fine. I'm just glad I have the fantastic genetics that I won't be needing it for quite some time.
Thank you ladies for bringing this up. I'm getting to the point where I want to start considering these types of options. Has anyone done other lower impact methods before going to botox, such as chemical peels and microdermabrasion that's supposed to hide some lines? I'm thinking of starting on the lower impact soon and would love your info/advice!
chemical peels microdermabrasion etc do a wonderful job on "grayish" fatigue imperfect skin and even help a bit with fine lines. BUT according to my plastic surgeon (who is really really one of the best our there) it is not recommended for the purpose of line elliminating. furthermore it is a really agressive procedure an he recommended it to be done in the mid to late fortys to give the skin the healthy glow back and for an overall fresher appereance. as long as there are only lines and fine wrinkles are giving away the age he strongly advised me to stick to botox or (in case you hate botox) fillers (hydralononic acid collagen etc) as everything else is far to agressive and to early.

Gracefully doesn't = not fighting it in my book!
I haven't used Botox. . . yet! LOL!
I probably would never get a face lift, but I may try Botox eventually.
What's restalyne? Is it the same -ish or is it for lips?
I won't do my lips either, just wondering{?}
There's not many people here maybe that have used Botox. . . I find the members here to be on the very young side.
I'm 31 and feel like a Grandma here! LMBO!
I agree about sunscreen. I use a PHENOMANOL lotion/creme every morning w/ a SPF 15 in it.
I went to Magic Kingdom for 3 days straight for 12, yes 12 hours at a time w/ this stuff. I applied it once each morning after washing and that was it, no re-application. I did not get burned and I am SO surprised!
Nothing ruins skin faster than a tan/burn!
I used to tan when I was younger, now my tan is in a bottle.
Restylane is used for injection in the lips and other areas, such as the "laugh lines", or also for scars left from severe acne.
This is a great thread, definitely broadening my opinion on the use of Botox. I'm not sure I will ever use it in the future, but it's a very personal choice and I'm glad you are happy with your results Sunshine! I already thought you were beautiful in your Post your Picture photo, but now I'm sure you look nothing short of stunning.
