Botox, how mainstream is it and what do you think of those who use it?

Hi,

I noticed another thread asking what people thought of people not wearing makeup. It was quite interesting to read the responses on there. (In case it’s relevant, I usually wear some make up, but not on a daily basis.).

But the thing it made me wonder, is your thoughts on Botox, more specially on those who have it. I’m in my mid- thirties, and have used low dose Botox a couple of times. I don’t think I look frozen, as the botoxed area still moves with my expressions- maybe just slightly less than before.

I suppose my question is how wide spread do people think Botox use is? And what do you think of people who use it?

I don’t think I’m overly vein on the whole ( maybe more self-conscious). Like I said I don’t wear make up on a daily basis. I have paid for membership to a slimming app for the last 4 years or so though, so I guess that also shows some degree of high effort/ similar!

Not interested personally. I'm pretty sure I would look better with it, but I'm happy to just age without the pressure of needing to be attractive.

I would also been concerned about knowing when its time to stop and age. Because let's face it, a woman in her 70s with a smooth forehead looks a bit uncanny.

Yes, I think there is more judgement going in that direction definitely! it’s funny-something that I personally don’t like the appearance of so wouldn’t choose for myself is the very heavily made up look. So orangey skin from a lot of foundation, big false lashes etc, but it wouldn’t bother me if someone else were to choose to do his.
