5x Botox Without Needle: Hacks for a Tight Skin
You would want that: walking around at 25 with a tight forehead as if you just rolled out of the womb. Botox, fillers, and everything that smooths things out—guilty as charged. But to be honest: maybe you are not ready for needles in your face yet and you get goosebumps at the thought of friends enthusiastically talking about their “touch-up”. No shame, because injections are really not the only way to achieve a juicy, elastic skin. Fortunately, there are alternatives that give your skin just as fresh a glow, without a single prick.
Retinol: Your new favorite skincare
If there is one ingredient that is always touted as the anti-aging champion, it is retinol. No wonder it is the holy grail among skincare lovers. Here our beauty editor writes everything you need to know about retinol. This vitamin A derivative attaches to your cells and ensures they behave younger. Retinol stimulates your collagen production and fades fine lines as if they never existed—exactly the effect you want from botox. Retinol can be quite intense for your skin, which is why it is recommended to start with using it 1 to 2 times a week. My favorite? That’s the one from Paula’s Choice. Want to know if this is also suitable for your skin? Take the test on this website. A milder form of retinol? Hydroxypinacolone retinoate (try saying that three times fast). Dr. Jetske Ultee released a serum with this powerhouse of an ingredient—and fun fact: there is no water in it, so you are really only paying for the pure product. It is less intense for your skin than classic retinol, but still a super good source of vitamin A. Here you can read everything you want to know about this serum and why it is a good alternative to other retinol creams.
Face tape: instant a tight skin
Never heard of it? Well, that’s almost impossible, because face taping is totally in fashion. Face taping works quite simply: you stick special tape on your skin to temporarily pull tight wrinkles and lines. This makes your skin immediately look smoother and tighter—an instant facelift. Important: always apply the tape on clean, dry skin and don’t pull it too tight. Remember: the effect is purely temporary. According to experts, face tape can certainly reduce the visibility of wrinkles in the short term—but it does not make them disappear permanently. Below you see a TikTok from Arielle Lorre—the queen of face taping—where she shows exactly how she applies her tape.

Microcurrent & LED: high-tech beauty at home
Ready to really invest in your skin? Then microcurrent devices are your new skincare bestie. For those who have no idea what I’m talking about: These are devices that give mini-electroshocks to train your facial muscles—think: squats, but for your jawline.
Also recommended: LED therapy. LED masks, like the Envigante LED Face Mask (the best I found), use light waves to boost your skin in various ways. Red light stimulates collagen (yes, there it is again), blue light tackles acne, and purple light calms your skin. Bonus: you can wear the mask while binge-watching your favorite series. It may look a bit weird, but you have to make some sacrifices.
Collagen from within: beauty really starts from within
We can apply as much as we want, but real beauty starts with what you eat. To create a bit of a botox effect, eating collagen is very important. This protein is essential for firm, hydrated skin—and yes, it reduces those annoying lines. The best way to get collagen? Well, you can take pills or powders as much as you want, but a better way will always be beef broth. Want to make your own collagen-rich soup? Super easy: simmer broth from bones. Use beef, chicken, or fish (preferably with joints and skin) and let it simmer gently for at least 12 hours with water, vinegar (helps release the collagen), vegetables, and herbs to taste. The longer it simmers, the richer it is in collagen. Strain the broth and voilà: you have a skin-boosting soup full of good substances. Here you can read more about making the soup yourself. Not in the mood for this hassle? Then they sell the perfect soup at Albert Heijn that has been simmered for 96 hours:
Facial yoga & tools: workout for your face
Your face has more than 50 muscles—and just like the rest of your body, you can train them. Facial yoga is the way to firm your skin and improve your circulation. Want that little extra? A facelift band (that band you wear under your chin) may not be super sexy, but it is effective. And of course: good old facial massage always works. Use your fingers or go for a jade roller or gua sha stone. Perfect for stimulating your lymphatic drainage and giving your skin an instant glow. Bonus points if you apply a serum before you start rolling—that works like a dream.
