Did you know this?

You deserve to make an informed decision when receiving any medication, whether it’s because you’re ill, or because you want fewer wrinkles. But I know most of you were never told this.

Botox contains human albumin, which is a protein found in blood plasma. That means that donated blood was spun down and separated, and the albumin was added to the concoction that is Botox cosmetic, and then injected into your face.

Why does this matter? Some people, for either personal or religious reasons, do not want other people’s blood in their bodies. Maybe if they were dying and needed a blood transfusion, that’s one thing. But they might think twice when it’s just about wrinkles.

If you’re starting to see fine lines and wrinkles but are wary about Botox (as you should be - I will talk more about everything you should consider in another post), I personally have found Frownies to be a great natural alternative. Frownies are made simply out of natural kraft paper and vegetable starch adhesive. They work sort of like going to the gym - cumulatively. Wrinkles appear over time due to the facial expressions you make. With consistency, Frownies help counter the creases caused by those expressions. If you decide to try them out, my code BIRTHUPRISING gets you 10% off (linked HERE).
