Botox.
It's still the
number 1 cosmetic injectable. And yeah, probably
99% of
Hollywood lovelies get pinched by the
needle every
3-6 months to stay
wrinkle-free. So, it comes as no
surprise to
allegedly hear that even
NYC famous Kelly Ripa gets
Botox, too.
But in her case, it's kind of
unique for
Kelly to recognize when she needs a
Botox re-fill.
Huffington Post repeated a little
tabloid gossip that's been going around. And we're going to share it, too, because we admire
Kelly Ripa's honesty in a
world of
pampered, pretty celebrities.
If this
rumor is true, at least the
Emmy-award winning daytime host is keeping it
real.
As most people know,
Kelly and her
family spend their
summer weekends at the
Hamptons. The
TV star was reportedly overheard making these remarks:
"I work out absolutely every day. I don't overeat. I try to drink water but I prefer wine, and when all else fails, I get Botox injected right here, right into my forehead, as much as possible."But that wasn't it.
Kelly continued talking about the
magic Botox injectable:
"Oh, you know when you really need it?" she said.
"It's when my kids start asking me if I'm mad at them, and I go, 'Why do you think I'm mad at you?' They go, 'Because you're frowning.' I go, 'Oh no! I am? I'll be right back!' Give me Dr. Brant: He's the best, he is my real husband," said
Kelly.
That's
hilarious, if it is in fact,
true.
Kelly Ripa's forehead looks
very smooth, and we don't note any
elevens, or those two
frown lines in between the
eyebrows.
Botox is
especially effective for ironing away
forehead lines and
creases between the
brows. We do see a few
light crow's feet by the
outer eyes. And that's about it. At
age 40,
Kelly Ripa is holding it together well.
If you aren't wild about getting poked repeatedly with a
Botox needle, you could try the
non-needle Botox. The
British have developed
organic Natox for
$139.99:
No needles organic Natox - pain-free alternative to invasive anti-wrinkle injection products.
Lines become reduced - Smoother and refined skin tone.
Skin becomes more firmer and plump.
Improves hydration.
Creates luminous complexion.
Does it work? Well, some people love it. Check out the
Natox website.
We're certain the results would not be as
dramatic as the
real Botox by
needle, but if an
over-the-counter beauty product can hold back the
frowns for a while, it's worth a shot.
