Botox - I feel under pressure

3 of my closest friends are now regularly having Botox and one in particular keeps going on about how amazing it is. None of them have actually suggested I have it but I feel I’m putting pressure on myself as they will stay wrinkle free while I age! I admit two of them look a lot older and have been upset with their lines for years, but one of them looks younger than she is and I am surprised. Is it the new normal? Should I consider it? I only have fine lines on my forehead and round my eyes so far and am frequently told I look a lot younger than I am but I’m genuinely feeling quite stressed about my lines now my friends have none!

Don’t bother.

I have it done but I‘m very expressive and use my face a lot, so lots of deep lines. I get my 11’s done so I don’t look cross.

However I am very aware that even little bit affects other muscles making them move differently and so it goes on if you let it.
At the end of the day most people do in fact look their age. Good skin and hair is more important than lines or sag.

@picklemewalnuts I did the same, with Mindy Kaling! It's mostly her lips I think? I think it's a shame she felt the need to do that. She looked great before.

Have you seen any of the friends reunion stuff online op? Lisa kudrow looks better than any of them, she hasn’t had anything done (or if she has it’s very subtle). No wrinkles ≠ looks better.
