Transcript

guys this is rough I'm going to have to get botox I can't tan with these lines Say it with me. These elevens are totally normal, but if they bother you and you want to soften it without Botox, I got you. I'm a board certified dermatologist and these are three affordable ways to soften expression lines on a budget. The goat of all goats has to be my girl adapalene. Retinoids are the queen at stimulating collagen and elastin and reducing fine lines. Apply a pea size amount to the entire face several nights a week to age like fine wine. Number two is peptides because these are literally the building block of collagen and elastin. I promise you, you do not need to break the bank to find one that actually works. Look for peptides like argireline and matrixyl. If you want the closest thing to Botox in a bottle for an OG. That will immediately plump your lines, go with my girl hyaluronic acid. She is a humectant that will draw more water to the skin, immediately plumping your fine line. If you want to be efficient, go with a microdrt patch like this. This one literally has all three ingredients in it already.
