Gifts of Botox have replaced jewelry For Bridesmaids and the wedding party

No longer are too-taut celebrities like Joan Rivers the poster children for Botox.  Even Olympic athletes are now endorsers. Romanian gymnast and five-time Olymic gold medalist Nadia Comaneci and seven-time swimming gold medalist Mark Spitz have joined in the campaign for injections to achieving a younger look.  Hey, maybe Michael Phelps will be next in a few years.  Read about the eyebrows this is raising in the New York Times. At age 48, the ever-fabulous looking Simon Cowell is so accustomed to Botox injections he told People magazine, “To me, Botox is no more unusual than toothpaste.”

It’s not only celebs that are getting their fill of Botox.  With the median age of brides on the rise, bridal-party botox is the rage.  Honestly, as a 35-year-old taffeta-flaunting bridesmaid knowing your photo will be on your sorority sister bride-to-be’s facebook page within 24 hours, would you rather have a key chain engraved with the date of her special day or a quick fix for your face?  Caution for brides:  when suggesting Botox to the bridal party (especially to your new mother-in-law) be sensitive.  The number one rule is don’t make them feel like they need it (no matter how deep their winkles may be)!  Make it a fun outing.  It’s a modern spin on gal-pals getting their hair done together for the big day.  Just say it’s something you’d like to do to pamper yourself and you would love to have them join you if they like.  For more on “Bridal Beauty Buffets” read this article from the New York Times.

But when it comes down to it don’t choose Botox because it’s en vogue, but because of how it will make you feel. Treatments are popular for a reason.  Read an account of a first-time Botox user in Marie Claire.  It was a gift to herself for her 29th birthday and it gave her much more of a boost than any designer shoes could have.

Women of all ages—Botox can work wonders for you.  For women in mid 20s to late 30s  it can subtly maintain your young face and act as a preventative measure.  And of course ladies, the older you are the more you can benefit.  Go ahead and look and live as young as you can get away with.  Let your age be your little secret.
