And I include botox in that statement - anyone any tips they want to share. Mine are not horrendous but they are def getting there. Would consider baby botox maybe next year but not an option at the minute for various reasons - financial and am pregnant!

And big glasses!

I have microdermabrasion which is excellent

I tried everything only botox works. What is baby botox? MY consultant will give half a dose if you want but there is no weak version iirc. A fringe works too. Creams don't!

I've just had a fringe cut. I look years younger I tell you. Grin

noddyholder · 01/03/2012 18:57

Ah I see it is the same botox they are just talking about the method of using it. My bloke is v conservative. I haven't had it for 6 months plus and I really feel haggard!

steben · 01/03/2012 18:59

I am going to have to take the plunge.........better start squirrelling cash away now ;)

Botox is some scary shit. Why do that to yourself? :(

MrsCampbellBlack · 01/03/2012 19:46

Oh I love botox and that was my treat after years of pregnancy/bf. My practitioner also conservative with it.

Otherwise all the usual, drink plenty of water and cleanse, exfoliate and moisturise. I'm using the clarins facial oil at the moment and love it.

But yes big sunglasses help too Smile

Fringe fringe fringe.. it works wonders Grin

Pagwatch · 01/03/2012 19:49

I can't have a fringe. I have a short forehead. Not everyone can just get a fringe.

noddyholder · 01/03/2012 19:53

Fringe not as good as botox. And semi permanent lashes but not super long ones. I had both at the same time last summer and looked a lot younger Now have neither and look knackered!

Beamur · 01/03/2012 19:57

Chum of mine had some botox for frown lines and she looks great - very natural and not at all plastic

Jellykat · 01/03/2012 20:32

I have a short forehead too Pag, and have my fringe starting higher up, cut in a ^ shape.

JasperJohns · 01/03/2012 21:16

Botox is the only thing, not when pg obv.

I had it for my 11s but it has also completely eliminated every line from my forehead - which I can still move btw.

I had it in Oct and it hasn't worn off yet.

noddyholder · 01/03/2012 21:24

I found it eliminated my number 11s and they never got as bad but the forehead horizontal lines do need re doing

steben · 02/03/2012 08:34

I can't have a fringe either I look ridiculous!! I did try it and have only just grown the bugger out! I think it would be a justifiable investment! In the meantine - anyone have any make up tricks - i.e that kind of fill the lines so not as noticeable?
