Cosmetic Botox for 60s Momma

Posted by strongmomma @strongmomma, Jul 13, 2022

I have been receiving botox injections in my neck for migraines for a few years, and just recently went with a girlfriend to her doctor who gave me cosmetic botox on my forehead and on the outsides of my eyes. As I am now in my 60s I have lots of wrinkles so I think I am a bit late for it to make a difference. Right? Do any of you have any relevant experience to share? I don't want to keep getting the cosmetic injections if the ship has already sailed if you know what I mean. In the meantime, I will keep using retinol to try to maintain some firmness on my face!

Maybe one day I will get to this too, it was so liberating to me! No more toxins!
I decided to continue for two reasons; my hair is very long and it would take time, plus I am going through a very rough patch in my life and don't feel confident enough to stare at this grey that shows me all might be over soon. If I get healthy and happy I will do it though.

There should be no pressure at all to color or not color. It is important to do what makes you happy. And what makes you feel good.

I find if I need a little lift, I'll wear something brght. Even a colorful scarf of a bright lipstick will give me that boost. Sometimes it's a favorite scent. Listening to music also makes me feel positive.
