I have many reservations when it comes to Botox that I am sure some of you share as well. First, I am deathly afraid of needles, I don’t do well with any type of pain or discomfort. Second, I am very cautious about what I put in my body. i was raised by two hippies who taught us to be “One with Mother Nature”, they were the parents who preferred smoking their “natural drugs” over injecting them (thank goodness!) While they have since retired their pipes  they continue to lead a raw lifestyle. As a kid I felt deprived and resented the fact that my parents never let me eat at Dairy Queen or dye my strawberry blonde hair, but I am so grateful for it now…just like they said I would be. Not to brag, but when I go home to our small town in Oregon, I can’t help but notice how much better me and my siblings have aged compared to the rest of the townsfolk. Thanks to the wisdom of my parents, and our healthy lifestyle we have managed to avoid becoming a statistic. None of us are overweight, we are in our mid to late 30’s and disease-free (knock-on-wood) and gainfully employed. FYI, those kids who hung out at the local Dairy Queen every day after school, continue to do so, except now they get paid to do it. Pretty ironic, huh?

Back to my injection-free way of life, I strongly endorse a more natural approach to skin care. Mother Nature has so much to offer when it comes to our health and physical appearance. I am going to discuss some of the best, and most affordable Botox alternatives so you can turn back the hands of time without putting poison in your body.

Matrixyl™ 3000

Matrixyl™ 3000 contains Pal-GHK and Pal-GQPR which work together to restore your skins youthfulness. Matrixyl™ 3000 reduces deep wrinkles by an average of 44.9%

You can find Matrixyl™ 3000 in the anti-wrinkle serum Prototype #37-C.

Snap-8

Snap-8 is an extension of Argilene®, the “Topical Botox”. Snap-8 works just like Botox in that it reduces the depth of wrinkles caused by facial expressions (laugh lines, crows feet, etc..) around the eyes and forehead. Snap 8 is a safer, more affordable treatment to Botox.

You can find Snap 8 in anti-aging products like Dermavisu

Syn®-Coll

Syn®-Coll is a peptide designed to stimulate collagen production in your skin by 119%, this leads to firmer skin, increased moisture and a reduction in wrinkles.  Syn®-Coll is clinically proven to reduce wrinkles 350% compared to placebo.

You can find Syn®-Coll in the anti-wrinkle serums Prototype #37-C and Dermavisu

Jojoba Oil

Jojoba Oil is a moisturizing agent that hinders water loss and enhances flexibility of the skin.

You can find Jojoba Oil in the top rated Freezox Cosmetic

DMAE

DMAE is the first topical treatment to be clinically proven to help firm sagging skin and promote muscle tone. DMAE also helps enhance water retention, keeping your skin supple.

You can find DMAE in the top rated Dermavisu and Freezox Cosmetic.

Acetyl Pentapeptide

Acetyl Pentapeptide helps eliminate lines and wrinkle that are caused by facial expressions, especially around the eyes, mouth and forehead. Acetyl Pentapeptide reduces the depth of these wrinkles by up to 47%

You can find Acetyl Pentapeptide in the anti-wrinkle serums Prototype #37-C

Conclusion

Before jumping the gun and heading to the nearest dermatologist to get shot up with some Botox, I encourage you to try one of the above alternatives. There are hundreds of anti-wrinkle serums containing these ingredients and other effective wrinkle removers. I guarantee you will see the same results, if not better than Botox injections.
