What you should actually do is slather on sunscreen and get yourself a nice UV-blocking sunhat. Also, get regular exercise, don't drink so much, and think critically about your job because the stress will get you.

Any 20-something thinking about Botox is doing it wrong.

I mean, it can still be right for you. The mistake is not re-evaluating to check.

I agree with this. I think the same goes for makeup. Getting stuck on a look and not evaulating if it continues to work for you and flatter as your age. One of the worst makeup offenders:

Honestly, I think it’s the sun and the smoking that have done Kate in, much more than her makeup.

Since when does she smoke?

She's always smoked. She smokes around a pack a day.

NP - I was thinking the same thing LOL.

Ummmm.....black, brown, Asian, bi-racial women can wear too much make-up, not just white woman. Actually, women of all colors/races can wear too much make-up. Same with hair, outdated hair styles aren’t color/race specific. Nor or outfits. The last time I checked Botox and other cosmetic procedures aren't race specific either.

Y'all don't need it like we do. "Black don't crack" and all that. White women (like me!) age a lot faster from sun exposure.




I would have to disagree there. Black and hispanic women are not getting Botox and fillers in any significant numbers unless they are celebrities. Our skin doesn't age as fast and it's just not something we worry about.

PP here. I agree with you, black and Hispanic women probably aren’t getting Botox and fillers, because they have great skin & don’t age as fast. But, that’s not to say they can’t. It’s not something that just white women do. They just may start it earlier, do it more, etc than other races/ethnicities.

Sorry, wrong. I work at a dermatology practice. We see people of all colors for Botox and related procedures.
Botox is only noticeable when it’s done poorly.

Sure this is probably more prevalent in places like NYC, LA, DC etc. But as a whole women of color are not getting Botox in large numbers. If you know anything about the black community, you know there's a built in historical mistrust of doctors/hospitals, medicine etc - hell, half of black folk don't even want to get the covid vaccine, we damn sure aren't injecting sh*t into our faces..

Of course that isn’t true. Some women here just like to hate.

Want to chime in here an say the PP’s who said that women wait to buy clothes for themselves is one hundred percent right. We are conditioned to be so giving, many of us put ourselves last on the list. Plus, the fashion industry used to have a lot more options for a woman’s changing size for pregnancy and post pregnancy. Clothes were just better designed and made to reflect those stages. Now, we are expected to buy a million tops for all the different stages. But yes, taking care of yourself is hard.

I'm a 50+ Black woman and I know plenty of Black women getting fillers. Its more common than you think. Before Covid I know some who would also partake in medical tourism getting procedures done in the Caribbean and South America for less $.

Maybe I'm on Instagram too much, but there are injectors with instagram accounts plenty of Black women are patients. These are not celebrities.

I don’t have wrinkles because I have oily skin...so I’ll stick to powder!

You are both pretty horrible people. I just don’t see other women like you do. You are total assholes if this is the script running through your minds while you’re out in the world.

I think new (bigger) boobs are aging for that matter.
