People accuse me of having Botox because my skin’s so smooth but it’s down to a high street serum – I’m ageing backwards
SHE’S constantly accused of having Botox thanks to her super-smooth face.
But one influencer has insisted she hasn’t had any of the injections – because she’s been either pregnant or breastfeeding for the past four years.
Instead, she’s been using a high street serum that she claims is so good that she’s now “ageing backwards”.
Imogen took to TikTok to respond to someone who had asked her: “Imogen, your skin’s glowing, have you had Botox?
“If not, what’s the secret?”
“Honestly, that is the biggest compliment,” Imogen said.
“No, I have absolutely not had Botox.
“But honestly, hunnies, best compliment ever!”
Imogen, 31, went on to say she’s going to “keep going with it”, as she screwed up her face to show the lines by her eyes and in her forehead.
“We are going to plough through with all the natural skincare that we physically can and we’re going to keep getting complimented that we’ve got Botox, aren’t we?” she smiled.
“Honey, you’ve made my day.”
In another video, Imogen opened up about one of the skincare products she swears by – RoC’s Derm Correxion Fill + Treat Serum.
“Botox without having Botox? Sorry, what?” she began, pulling her hair back to show how smooth and flawless her skin looked.
She explained that the Roc serum, developed with plastic surgeons and dermatologists, “works to fill and plump fine lines and wrinkles instantly and over time”, thanks to the retinol and triple hyaluronic acid it contains.
“It’s amazing,” mum-of-two Imogen gushed.
“I’m gonna come closer so you can really see. Look at my lines.
“They’ve instantly been filled!”
She concluded the video by urging fans to “run, don’t walk” to Boots to pick up the serum.
How to reverse ageing in just 2 weeks, according to royal go-to nutritionist
LONDON -based Gabriela Peacock, who has helped the likes of Prince Harry and Princess Eugenie prepare for their weddings.
She told Fabulous: “The science is evident that we all have the power to make simple life changing alterations to better our future selves – no matter what genetic hand we might have been dealt with.
“The reality is, we all sometimes indulge in unhealthy eating habits like processed foods, smoking cigarettes, drinking too much alcohol, inhaling city pollutants, and even drinking water from plastic bottles – none of this is good for us.
“All this does is promote the ageing process, but we all have the potential to change this.”
It may be hard, but try to keep away from sugary carbohydrates, because they feed chronic inflammation, which is one of the worst enemies of reversing ageing.
Now only will you end up putting on weight if you consume them regularly, but your energy and hormonal levels will be affected and this will influence how you look and feel.
Whatever your age or state of health, it’s never too late to reverse how quickly you are ageing and embrace the energy and vigour of a younger you.
Antioxidants, such as vitamins A, C, and E, are essential in neutralising free radicals—the culprits behind premature ageing.
Integrating a spectrum of colourful fruits and vegetables into your diet provides a potent source of antioxidants.
Omega-3 fatty acids, abundant in fatty fish like salmon and flaxseeds, are vital for maintaining skin elasticity and hydration.
Omega-3s act as nourishment for your skin, locking in moisture and diminishing fine lines and wrinkles.
Collagen, a structural protein dwindling with age, can be replenished through collagen-rich foods like bone broth and lean protein sources.
“Brb just ageing backwards,” Imogen captioned the clip.
She also responded to someone accusing her of using a filter, as she showed the original video that she’d shot on her iPhone.
“There’s always one jealous one out there,” someone else commented on the video response.
“Your skin always looks amazing!”
“Your face has Botox all over it,” another insisted.
To which Imogen hit back: “That’s a compliment thanks but I’ve been pregnant and breastfeeding for nearly 4 years back to back so definitely hasn’t!
“But thanks!”
“There is simply no alternative to Botox- nothing can do what it can do,” someone else wrote.
While the RoC serum doesn’t come in cheap, at £39.99 in Boots, it’s significantly cheaper – and safer – than getting Botox.
You can expect to pay between £99 to £250 for one area of Botox in the UK, depending on where you live and the areas you want treated.
