Botox makes me a little scared, but still there are people who think that what botox does to me can’t hurt. Even at rest, my face has a life of its own. I frown, my eyebrows wave over my forehead, you can see what I think by looking at my mouth; it is one big play of lines. Literally, because when my head is in neutral gear, you can still see grooves. A shot here and there could help, but I’m not ready for that yet. When I heard about the botox cream that Kate Middleton Michelle Obama recommended (says Hollywood Life), I became a little obsessed, because what if it actually worked?

It’s called Biotulin. It comes in a black jar with white letters and silver finishing. It’s a plant-based gel that is massaged into the skin. The gel contains the anesthetic spilanthol, which relaxes things and numbs a bit. It works for eight hours. Insiders say that Máxima, Madonna and Meghan Markle they use it too. I used the cream, saw nothing at first, but after a few hours I really thought my groove was less pronounced. Someone told me I looked good that day and I would swear that frown was kept at bay. The conclusion: not as smooth as botox, but it really does something for the frowning population.
