A 31-YEAR-OLD woman has claimed she has saved loads on Botox after she trained herself to not smile or frown.
In a desperate bid to give their face a more youthful look, many beauty lovers turn to Botox, one of the most sought-after procedures in the world.
But not only can this treatment go awfully wrong and leave you with a droopy eye, getting Botox is also quite costly.
Fortunately, there are countless of other, less expensive, alternatives that promise to achieve the same results.
And one of them, according to Isabelle Lux (@isabelle.lux), from New York, the US, doesn’t cost a thing.
The 31-year-old skincare lover, who has close to 355k followers on TikTok, is known for her glowy complexion and wrinkle-free face.
Many might assume the young woman has spent thousands on beauty procedures – but turns out, the answer to a silky smooth and youthful skin is less complicated than that.
Taking it to social media, Isabelle explained that the secret is training your face muscles to stop working.
This, she claimed in a clip, means you won’t smile or frown like you’ve been used to so far.
”You really don’t need face muscles to make emotions at all,” Isabelle explained, before demonstrating how her face moves after years of training.
Whether she lifted her brows or frowned, the lines were very fine and barely noticeable.
”It is definitely possible if you want to learn how,” she said.

Sharing her beauty technique, the 31-year-old also added that she had nothing against Botox – but that injecting it can be an expensive habit.
”I just think it’s really helpful if you can learn how you can save a lot of money, like I have over the years.
”But I’ll probably get Botox before my wedding so that my pictures are perfect,” Isabelle noted at the end of the viral video.
However, despite the life hack she swears by, the clip was met mostly with criticism, as many told her to embrace the ageing process.
”Your value doesn’t diminish if you age. Live your life,” pointed out one viewer.
A second agreed: ”growing old is a privilege.”
Someone else penned: ”this is so incredibly sad.”
”or just smile, express your feelings through facial expression and not worry about the unimportant parts,” a fourth commented.
”Doesn’t this affect your mood to not be able to express yourself? This is sad,” a social media user wondered.
