I find Botox aging if it's done like that.

Maybe dewy skincare and makeup products?

Agree with the pp that the botoxed foreheads look rubbery over time. Both of my older sisters (Botox, facelifts, neck [whatever], eye work, etc.) have a rubbery, shiny look to their faces — particularly noticeable on their foreheads. I hate that they’ve done this to themselves.


Same. Two good friends were early Botox embracers and their beautiful faces now just look… odd

That waxy look depends upon how thin your skin is and also its peels / dermabrasion not just Botox. I get Botox and it look like my other skin bc I don’t exfoliate.

I have always had a shiny face. Never done Botox, though.

It’s heavy tretinoin use.

I agree that it's not botox giving the shiny skin look, although botox + facial + bright lights on camera lenses can create this effect on like, stars on the red carpet.

But there's also a trend now out of Korea (mecca of skin care) to aim for "glass skin" as a finished look, which means that yes, sometimes the shiny skin you see is what people are going for, and they are happy with the result.

+1 My forehead doesn’t have wrinkles but my skin still looks rough.

Facials make me have a shiny face

Post a pic? There are plenty of shiny faces out there. I don’t see the connection with Botox though.

I think Botox seems to make their skin look rubbery over time. Sure no wrinkles but def. looks strange and is obvious the longer you do it.

I don’t worry this much about other people’s foreheads.

I see more and more people who are so botoxed that their foreheads look like a squeaky-clean tile floor. Is this a look people are actually going for or an inadvertent result? It’s very off-putting imho, worse than having just aged naturally. Anyone else?
