Botox? No thanks
THE NATURAL ALTERNATIVE TO BOTOX
Botox is the fastest method these days for looking young and fresh.
So many people, women and men, regularly use Botox for aesthetical corrections. But how dangerous is Botox? There are alternative for people who don’t want experience injections or for those who want natural solutions?
SOME ALTERNATIVES TO BOTOX YOU MAY WISH TO TRY.
Botox’s official name is botulinum toxin, it’s a neurotoxic protein that can become very toxic when used in large doses and for many years. Basically Botox relaxes, or rather paralyzes, your muscles and stops the muscle-spasms and the expressions of your face. Sure, the result can be amazing on wrinkles, it smoothens the skin. Botox also help reduce perspiration (when injected into the armpits). But still very toxic for our body, and much of the time it transforms the face and the expressions of the patients into something no longer natural-looking. For these reasons, people are looking for natural alternatives to Botox. Luckily, there is always a natural way and more important healthy habit to prevent ageing. Read on.
Buy Natural Products: there are several brands that include natural ingredients such as aloe, cactus collagen, rose essential oil and many other antioxidants. You can find these products in the form of serums, pH washes, patches and lotions. Apply them every morning and every evening.
Skincare: alpha beta facial peels, facial cleansers and toners, hyaluronic acid, retinol, antioxidant firming serums and vitamin C serums. Look for these ingredients on the product descriptions. They all boast collagen-building ingredients so you can skip the needles involved in Botox surgery.
Use Products with Alpha Hydroxy Acids: for a younger look, it is really important to regularly peel the skin. Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs), including citric acid, glycolic acid, lactic acid and others, when applied to the skin they remove dead skin cells, moisturize deeply and make your skin look younger, smooth and firmer.
PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN BOTOX
In addition to buying products as natural alternatives to Botox, you can also perform the following preventative measures to avoid needing surgery in the future.
Always use Sunscreen and Lotion: be sure to apply sunscreen protection every time you go outside, as a daily routine. Staying out of the sun and using sunscreen are both ways to prevent the need for Botox and its potential side effects. Keep your skin moisturized. You’ll get the effects of Botox without any of its side effects.
Drink Water: We all know that our bodies are composed of mostly water, so it’s really important to keep ourselves hydrated. Just be sure you’re remaining hydrating with water and not sugary drinks. Drinking plenty of water, minimum 2 litres per day, keeps your body and skin hydrated so your skin stays smooth and clean, a natural and healthy alternative to Botox.
Exercise Your Body: just take care of your body. Don’t smoke. Avoid excessive alcohol or drug use. Exercise. Eat healthy by eating foods rich in vitamins, nutrients and antioxidants. If you take care of your body and your skin, you’re avoiding the need for cosmetic surgery like Botox.
