No, I've never had Botox. In my industry that's practically a personality trait now. I'm not judging anyone who has. The pressure is completely real and I've felt all of it. I'd just rather look after the skin I actually have. And that's the distinction nobody makes: Botox freezes a muscle. It doesn't do anything at all for the skin sitting on top of it. The dryness, the thinness, the way it stops recovering overnight, no needle touches any of that. So I went looking for something natural that works on the skin itself, and that's how I found Frøya. Small Norwegian brand. It's a balm, so there's no water in it, which means it never needed preservatives or petrochemicals. Arctic plants and beeswax, and that's the list. Those plants survive brutal winters, so they store up compounds that rebuild collagen and repair the skin barrier. The dryness went. It's plump instead of thin. And it recovers overnight again. If you're curious, now's a good time. It's 40% off, and they give you your money back if it doesn't work: https://froyaorganics.com/pages/froya-organics-sarah-wayne-callies
Not enough history yet to show a trend.
