Cosmetic procedures - what has she had done?

Hello.

I was wondering if anyone in the know about cosmetic procedures could help me.

My sister is 41 (relevant). Before now she has never taken any care or interest in her skin care routine and it showed but now she has the skin of a beautiful bouncing baby girl haha

She has said in the past two years she’s had a chin filler, some Botox in her nasolabial folds and a bit of Botox around her face. They made a slight difference and she looked well but it’s VERY evident she’s had something else done recently but she won’t tell me what it is haha

There is no judgement from me, I want it done too because her skin looks incredible. Bouncy, hydrated, smooth, super plump, no visible pores, glowly all the time, it looks incredible. She has said it’s just her new skin routine which I’ve also now purchased (I sound insane haha) but does anyone know what the procedure could be??

I’ve attached a photo of an ‘influencer’ who’s skin is just like hers haha He’s admitted he’s had procedures done but I can’t find out what ones.

Also, this is all very light hearted because I can already feel the judgement haah

TIA

You should get MN to put a warning in the title of your thread.
That photo is really scary.

It could well be a combination of good ingredients - retinoids, vitamin c serum, niacinamide, good moisturiser with peptides, maybe an acid exfoliator etc.

I’ve been using tretinoin for the last few years (I’m 40) and get compliments on my skin.

There’s a few ingredients that really can transform your skin if used consistently. Don’t forget to use decent sunscreen.

Thank you for this! I really appreciate it and will now look into tretenoin!

You say you have purchased her new skin routine? What is it then?

Sorry, I haven’t, she’s purchased it for me but I know it’s a Korean brand no idea the exact one, but can tell you as soon as it arrives haha
