What’s a healthier alternative to Botox and fillers? Can I add anything into my diet or use a topical solution? Although price is a factor, I’m looking for something sustainable (so I don’t need to go every 6 months).

I don’t agree that Botox or filler are unhealthy, and nothing you eat or put on ur face is going to freeze your muscles or add volume strategically to your face. Obviously staying hydrated, minimizing alcohol, eating lots of veggies, sleeping well, using sunscreen and retinol will all help your skin. But none of those things can accomplish what Botox and filler can. That said, Botox and filler can’t accomplish what great skin health can in terms of your cellular well being!

Sunscreen and retinol

Gua sha actually does make a small difference, and sunscreen is really the most successful preventative. If you want something more sustainable, minimally invasive plastic surgery is more expensive but often more subtle and durable. But there’s nothing “natural” about reversing the aging process of your skin.

Microdermabrasion, micro needling and prp, chemical peels. But also Botox and filler are not unhealthy

Retinol/tretinoin + sunscreen. Every day

Yes, at least daily. I use stronger retinol at night and a lighter version in the morning - but I had to build up to that. Sunscreen every morning, rain or shine

Vitamin C in the morning and retinol at night. Sunscreen everyday . Some acid like AHC to wash/exfoliate face one to two times a week. You can buy all these elements at the Ordinary, very potent and economical.
