[@janejones7638]

I agree with this 100%. I do get botox for migraines. It's not cosmetic because most of the shots are on my scalp in my hair. I do get a few on my face but it's very close to my hairline. I've not noticed any difference visually (Medically I recommend it 100%) but of course who looks at wrinkles at the hairline.

[@brifren2]

No botox for me. I'm from France and like many French women, I find that aging gracefully and beautifully is... aging naturally. With good skin care, natural and organic products, sun protection, healthy food and a positive mindset, it is possible. It's ok to have lines (wrinkles) at some point in life, they show we've lived like real human creatures with expressions and feelings and that we are proud of who we are. Not ashamed, and not wanting to pretend we are much younger than we really are. Of course if someone feels really bad about a part of their face due to a strong dissymetry or whatever, they should do what truly makes them feel better. But it's sad to see so many VERY YOUNG women and men changing their faces with botox just because they want to look all the same (Barbie? Ken? Celebrities? Friends, peers?). Or even more mature people who want to look MANY years younger, even though other body parts still show their real age. If you "must" have botox, then at least do it in a way that is very discreet. Hoping that it won't affect your health later on, and remembering that it can become addictive and/or have horrendous results in the end.

[@Musasabi31]

It's true that here in France we have a totally different look on it. By the way, I'm in France too. On the opposite I want to get some injections. The professionals here are incredibly talented and as we love things to be done here, it's not noticeable, very discreet. But also.... so expensive! When I compare prices here and in the US, it's definitively less affordable in France, but done with great taste. I love the way we perceive esthetics here (especially for teeth, compared to what can be trendy in other countries), but I wish it was less taboo and more affordable.

[@Italian13Princess]

Hahaha the French use plenty of Botox! You should honestly educate yourself on what Botox does. You can't change your face with Botox- you can only stop the muscle movement with Botox.

[@user-vx2tu3lb9k]

Lasering my tattoos is the best decision I ever made for beauty. Tattoos look beautiful when you first get them but they require touch ups over time. Not only that, the placement and style of tattoos are always trends, but the tattoo is permanent. So you can see people’s tattoos and have a pretty accurate guess about their age just based on that! Don’t do it! Your taste in clothes changes over time, so will your taste in tattoos!

[@gingerandnemo]

I can not agree more! I have the Pamela Anderson arm band tattoo and hate it so much, I'm very self conscious about it and yes, I may look much younger ( so I've been told ) but it definitely screams 😱 I'm over 40!! I am considering laser but I hear it never actually goes away 100% and extremely painful. What was your experience?

[@nadiadarwish82]

Some of your suggestions are about "looking younger" than just being attractive. I think getting older can be very attractive too. Aging gracefully can be beautiful rather than trying to fight the clock. Being young does not always equate to being attractive. And I actually think you shouldn't get botox. Botox is actually very obvious. Even on younger individuals. It makes you look older but as if you can't handle that. And it freezes parts of your face so you don't smile in such a friendly or warm way. Since it freezes facial muscles it can actually make your face less expressive. Like when people want to remove lines on their face but they get rid of laugh lines around their eyes. And laugh lines show you've had a happy life.

[@LisaMarie-rh5yn]

@ Nadia I totally hear what you're saying. I agree that aging can be beautiful & would love to see more older women recognized for their beauty rather than overlooked. That said, your botox comments seem to be based on extreme cases, eg, the Kardashian/Instagram type of results. I'm in my 50's & I've had Botox 3x. If I could afford to get it more, I would; it only last a few months. As a working, fit, healthy, happy professional, I always believed I looked as good as I felt. Then one day a couple years ago it's like i woke up & suddenly had wrinkles - NOT the quaint kind! I also didn't feel as old as I suddenly looked! That was huge. I tried Botox & wow. LOVED it. Totally could still move my face. Nothing was "frozen." It just softened those frown lines, forehead lines, & a little bit above my eye. For me, I think as long as my inside & outside feels younger than the wrinkles, I'd love to do the Botox again!

[@HollyL56]

I agree. I’m 53 and going the natural route with aging. It’s a gift to age and I feel our society needs to embrace aging differently.

[@maple_star]

Haha - I’ve been a professional makeup artist for over 20 years and I can absolutely tell when someone has had Botox. It doesn’t necessarily look bad, but the lack of facial expression is weird imo.

You didn’t say a certain type of jaw is good, you said ‘jawlines are great and you should highlight it’. That’s what I appreciate.

My husband is a retired orthodontist. This has always been his opinion also on veneers.

[@LatBak]

Dear orthodontist....not all Veneers need teeth shaved, some are reversible! Sometimes I think ortho causes problems later on too then for some ortho alone does not solve their esthetic or functional issues. Just stating facts. Let people know what their options, pros and cons of each option then make their decisions. Ps. I am a dentist too.

A lot of my friends said it worked wonders for them, but what I developed was astonishingly strong muscular pain all the way down my left side for about four months.

[@tabilittlefield1326]

The "elevens" trouble can be dramatically reduced by using an emollient at night, such as the Carmex lip balm you mentioned for your lips. Apply at night where you see fine lines for a week and I think you'll be impressed! I loved this video, Shea! These are all great points, and when we look and feel our best, we are more productive!

[@amywoodworth6224]

Carmex, really?! I’m going to have to try this!

[@shireads2954]

I know I'm super late on this video, but I wanted to quickly talk about Carmex lip balm. It works really well, but medicated lip balms actually make you lips more chapped over time. Basically, the ingredients in them make your lips more prone to dryness and chapping when you don't actively have it on you lips. Your lips dry out faster, you use it more often, you get to feel like you NEED it. They make more money. Try Jack Black lip balm. The mint and shea butter ones are my favorite. They work amazingly, and don't make you lips literally dependent on them.

[@fawnerwin9888]

Try FROWNIES for your 11s… I did Botox and didn’t like it but I scowl in my sleep and wake up with deep wrinkles in my forehead. I use one patch every night (they are very affordable). It really has softened my lines. It sort of trains you not to use those muscles as much. I’ve decided to embrace aging without going the injection/filler route.

[@christineszlobodnik7814]

for chapped lips, i use lanolips lemonade it dissolves dead skin on lips & moisturizing too! put on overnight & wake up fresh! xx

[@janet9913]

Haven’t tried Botox. I was at a dental lecture (Dentists in Scotland can give injections for Botox etc and the presenters were Scotish). They were saying how important it was to inject the Botox in the correct place near eyes because in the wrong location if it travels down into the eye it could blind you! Just a reason to make sure the person doing the procedure knows what they are doing.

[@dash_rabbit]

Odd. My doctor said the danger of blindness is associated with fillers, not Botox. This is due to improper placement of the filler; primarily in the nasolabial folds and less so in the glabella (laugh lines and 11s., respectively) Since Botox is a liquid, it wouldn't cause a block in blood flow to the retinal artery. That's not to say Botox doesn't have risks. All procedures do. But, going to an experienced certified provider reduces the risks significantly.

[@karolynanderson2033]

Contouring my jawline is definitely one of the top three easy things I do to instantly boost my confidence (along with doing my brows and a coat of mascara) I feel like when you say “Don’t be so Opinionated” what you mean is “Don’t be a Self-Righteous Jerk”. You can certainly be opinionated while still respecting boundaries. And the teeth thing, while it definitely is true that bad teeth stick out like a sore thumb, it is almost NEVER a cheap or quick solution. I had bad teeth for soooo long, and I definitely don’t think people should feel like they’re unattractive just because they can’t afford/don’t have time to get dental or orthondontal work done.

[@kalispoon6076]

I think Carmex may be the reason you struggle so much with chapped lips. When I was using it it’s like my lips got addicted to it and if I didn’t use it every couple hrs my lips would dry out so bad! I quit using it altogether and use smiths rosebud salve maybe once a day 😘

I do regret getting veneers, but it's not without reservation.

Lip tip: Carmex was my PROBLEM for YEARS. Even the one you’re using sweet and beautiful lady. From a dermatologist view point (and for me personally- a cosmetology pro for 20+ years) Aquafor is absolutely the way to go. It’s not the same as Vaseline, even tho the active ingredient is the same. The other thing that works magic for me is “sloughing” the dead skim off: don’t do this if you have cracks or owies on ur lips as it can make them worse: just lick them a little, then rub with a finger tip until dry- the dead skin will roll right off. Works like a charm!! TFS ❤️

I started taking a supplement to block extra hormones (I have PCOS) and my missing hair is growing back (about half of my scalp at this point). I don't think that cosmetic would help me, and those serums are quite expensive. I second your comment - if you have hair issues go to the doctor, don't spend money on snake oil.

[@zazaincalifornia]

I agree with the smile!!! Showing a nice soul really enhance the perceived beauty we have of people

[@laurakoelling]

I have a few earring holes in my ears. Unfortunately I had to let them grow back. I was getting keloids. Also I am team Botox (ok Dysport). I just had the forehead and 11 done for the first time. So happy with it. Also had half a syringe of restaline. Worth it.

[@youtubingbabs]

Yeah. She's sharing what looks shiny and most glamorous. All of it costs money. Most can't afford the brand's she likes either. But you can get white strips and take care of your teeth! And buy c Ute I'm cheaper versions of stuff. You won't fool the rich but who cares? You'll still look very pulled together and cared for and that affects a lot.

[@youtubingbabs]

She kinda sounds poor though because of her voice and being so dang loud. It's like someone made her feel unheard and invisible.... Squawks like a crow. Using the wrong part of her voice range and talking from throat. Could use a vocal l coach and will save her voice. I bet she gets hoarse sometimes and doesn't know why.

I love botox, and I’m a nurse. I’ve been getting it since I was 40, now 44, and I love it. It’s definitely part of my routine, every 3-4 months. I also use organic skincare and rarely wear makeup. I consider it more preventative, and is very subtle if you don’t go overboard. I definitely still have a natural look.

I had hair/nail trouble also. My doctor, a D.O., and woman, highly suggested horsetail extract. Capsules. I get through Swanson's vitamins. After 2 months of taking daily, my hair is so thick ( my hairdresser said, " it's like cutting rope now") and my nails so long, hard and beautiful, my husband just has me now on auto order every 3 months for my horsetail supplements. My dermatologist, (man) recommended biotin, never worked in 7 years, the horsetail is AMAZING. They ( a D.O. doctor) know the insides of body and how it works, knows her stuff!! She has a yr and half waiting list to become her patient.... I love your information, it's great info, but sometimes hard time understanding. Could you slow down just a little when talking, be do appreciated. I feel like you feel rushed, it's such good info and enjoy the channel.

[@horace6851]

you can also take biosil, it's the same ingredient (silica) that our body needs to produce collagen and keratin. But be careful with horsetail, they tend to accumulate heavy metals from the soil. If you take it for a long time I suggest checking your heavy metal blood levels, especially Cd or Pb, once in a while. Biotin works if you're deficient, I suppose you were not so it didn't make any difference.

As someone who was born without a couple teeth and dental implants failing, smiling is never anything I do. I at first hated my smile because of my missing canines and hate it even more more now with the flipper and bridge. So, I rarely smile.

[@SheaWhitney]

I'm so sorry!!! Please know you're not alone. I know the fronts of my teeth look good....but it's so hard for me to eat each and every day. Most normal foods I CANNOT eat! It's something I don't really talk about, but I struggle with it EVERY SINGLE DAY. It's awful.

If u haven't already, Aquaphor healing ointment (NOT the one designed for lips) is amazing for healing chapped lips.

[@youtubingbabs]

Yes! My old band professor said this for trumpet players!

[@TizzyB23]

Yes I use it every night and all day. It’s the only thing that works on my lips. I’ve tried everything from name brand to drug store and I always go back to Aquaphor healing ointment.

[@WomanRoaring]

I struggle with chapped lips, one thing I read years ago was that most lip balms like chap stick has an ingredient that actually dries out your lips, it’s the first ingredient in most lip balms, Carmen is mostly for when you have a cold sore or your lips are cracked, burts bees is one that doesn’t have that ingredient, since I started using burts years ago I use it a lot less often, I do use the lip thing you showed after brushing my teeth in the morning, I also use a lip mask at night which helps so much. I rarely have extremely chapped lips since switching to burts and using the mask at night. A coworker of mine had veneers when she was in her late teens, her parents paid for it, she didn’t have the money to redo them in her 30s, her top teeth weren’t too bad but her bottom ones you couldn’t see something was off. Sadly it costs $10k+ every 10 ish years to maintain. Whitening your teeth helps, even if they aren’t straight, crooked whiter teeth always look better than doing nothing if you can’t afford braces or veneers.

[@slsilver481]

So true. I have very fair pinkish skin that makes my teeth look yellowed. I do a course of at home whitening every few years

[@dawnkulan4514]

Agree on Botox, it paralyzes the muscles. I had Botox for migraine at a neurologist and one of my eyebrows was pointed up for like a year.😧 And as a dental hygienist, I’ve learned nothing replaces your natural teeth, as you know. I try to discourage people from getting veneers. I didn’t know it was still a trend! Was big in early 2000’s. Very glad you spoke out about this Shea. 👏🏻👏🏻

[@maryann4707]

I use Neosporin lip health overnight renewal treatment therapy every night before I go to sleep and I no longer have chapped lips. It’s really a miracle!! I only use the round little tub.

[@amywoodworth6224]

I have a tattoo & it is on my lower back. I got it after my youngest was born & the lower back was real popular then. He will be 21 in December. Lol So yes it needs to be updated! I actually wore a crop top the other day & that alone was controversial for me being 49 but my boy’s girlfriends assured me I could wear it & it looked good. However, one last look in the mirror I noticed my tattoo & I did think man I need to have it updated. It looks not ideal. My husband doesn’t like tattoos & just wants me to let it fade but that is not how it works & I do like it. It’s 3 butterflies in my boys birthstone colors (I have 3 boys, aquamarine, peridot & blue topaz). So it was real pretty at one time. I’m not having it removed so I it must be updated! I think I’m going to make an appointment this week! The husband is just going to have to deal with it! 😆

[@fishchick72]

Thank you for being honest about veneers. I feel like way too many people jump into it without considering long term consequences. And yes, I have issues with Botox because it has botulism in it & it paralyzes muscles (that’s how botulism kills us, when it paralyzes the lungs). I am 49 & have never gotten Botox. I embrace aging gracefully. I do facial exercises to keep facial muscles strong & lifted, which I believe is way better than paralyzing muscles.

[@diesel5378]

Rosehip oil works great on lips and skin. I use it daily and it works better than any lip treatment

Take care of your skin from your early teens, use sunscreen and embrace your life, be happy you are breathing! The best thing in the world is to have birthdays and laugh every day. Botox freaks me out, I know everyone says its wonderful but honestly I have no interest in injecting it into me. We will all hopefully get old and anyone that has not had that pleasure I can bet you they would not say I wish I had injected more botox. Great video!

[@JanetBavas411]

this video was refreshing! Please make more like it. I have been getting Botox since I was 37. I am now 52. My advice is to go to a doctors office and have a surgeon do it not at a Mehdi spa. The surgeons or more technical and I trust them more with a needle. The cost of Botox is less than the cost of all those face creams. I do you skin cream but not the super expensive ones. And how you say eye creams dont do anything, they don’t. So I Botox. When you’re ready to try it just get the minimal for those 11s. You’re a little young yet. I was told if I start early I will have less lines which I do. I get it done 2 to 3 times a year and spend $300-$400 each time

You should research Carmex. It can actually be bad for many people. It causes lip irritation which then makes you use more and then continue the cycle.

Some of the best stuff for lips is nipple cream, that you use when nursing. Lanolin is a good brand and it lasts forever.

Love your excitement in every video! Totally agree about Carmex. The one you show is a staple for my family. We keep a stash in our medicine cabinet so everyone has one at all times. Makes your lips look and better. Plus has SPF to protect them from the sun.

[@stupor_mundi]

These tips are great except one I have to mention (besides the botox! :O ) and that's the one about smiling so much. I actually have a problem with this because I've personally seen the damage it makes, especially in the work place and in a competitive environment, when a woman smiles too much and out of synch with what's going on. And I know this will be an unpopular thing to say but I'll just throw it in here because in the real world, especially in the corporate and in the academic world, this is true. When a person smiles too much people don't respect them as much but that's not something they'd ever confess to one's face. And that is especially true and detrimental for women. A woman should not behave in such a people-pleasing or non-serious manner that she will look weak, or a push over, dumb or simply not dignified enough. She'll not be taken as seriously as an individual. Especially not by men. She'll often be underestimated and not progress as far careerwise. I've seen that happen. It can make one look clownish and dumb to smile when the subject is not meant to be amusing or casual. This happens a lot in business meetings, look around and see all the men being professional and serious (and being taken seriously) and the women just stand there smiling goofily so they typically get interrupted or disregarded, and their input gets dismissed. I just mentally facepalm myself when I see that kind of self-sabotage and they don't even notice it. That smiling "obligation" has always been very detrimental for women. The origin of that goes back to the time when women had to jump through a few hoops just to attract and please a male, because they were not allowed to earn a living. So there was popular "female conduct" literature such as Charles Allen's "The Polite Lady" (1760) instructing women to always smile, to please, as a way of not being assertive, bold or defiant. Hence the emphasis on always smiling. Because that's basically Omega behaviour that would please a male. Notice how men rarely smile when they talk and for that reason they are (traditionally) associated with rationality, credibility and reliability. While women are so hung up on putting on all kinds of facial expressions, even exaggerated expressions, that they are associated with being overly emotional, irrational, silly and even stupid. Usually the butt of men's jokes. So actually smiling less is definitely a leaf to take from the men's book. Sorry for the long post, but for such a simple and virtually harmless behaviour, smiling so often does more harm than good to a woman's credibility and how rational and capable she will be considered by her peers. I'm not saying women should not smile, but they should find a balance and discern that not all occasions and contexts call for smiling or an outward expression of emotion. And they should definitely not be smiling if they are talking to a person who is not smiling back at them - that's an underdog behaviour.

[@kiminokc1]

I've noticed this in group social situations with my friends. The sour puss females are the ones people try hardest to get close to or squeeze an inkling of a smile out of. They usually speak less and when they do they are listened to by everyone. Males really respect them a lot more especially. Total opposite of me, I naturally love to talk and smile.... And I've been the brunt of "jokes" that aren't really funny to me but are to others at my expense. Have started being quieter and smiling less when I think of it, reminding myself not every thought in my head needs to be heard by others, and those jokes have stopped. Also it allows me to observe others' behavior and body language more... Analyze whats really going on with a person when their words don't match everything else they're doing. Pretty interesting.
