Supernatural Botanicals

Smoothing the natural lines of one’s face, filling it with Botox, has become one trend that’s not about to go away any time soon.   Women (and men) are scheduling their Botox appointments at regular intervals, much as they would their teeth cleanings. 

   It’s fairly safe to say that the majority of Hollywood has had their face injected with Botox.  Not everyone in Hollywood agrees, though.  In a recent Harper’s Bazaar UK interview, actress Rachel Weisz said “It (Botox) should be banned for actors, as steroids are for sportsmen.  Acting is all about expression; why would you want to iron out a frown?”

   One of the most notorious Botox-lovers in Hollywood is Nicole Kidman.  Nicole takes a lot of heat in the press, claiming she’s practically expressionless as this point.  They claim her face is beginning to look unnatural at this point.  Do you agree? 

  There are, however, very good examples of where a little Botox can do a world of good.  Take fashion designer Rachel Zoe, for example.  Rachel’s skin was prematurely wrinkling, especially in her forehead area, from what I suspect is sun damage and smoking.  In Rachel’s case, it smoothed the lines out in her forehead and turned the clock back on her appearance.  Rachel’s end result has taken many years off of her face and Botox, in her case, was quite beneficial.
