My 'DIY Botox' keeps me wrinkle-free at 37, it softens lines while you sleep
A BEAUTY guru in her late 30s has revealed the secret to her age-defying looks.
She said she has never had cosmetic injections because her skincare routine includes a natural alternative to Botox.
Nadine (@thenaturalnadine) has amassed more than 124,000 followers on TikTok, where she shares beauty tips.
She warned against using Botox because “it is an extremely powerful neurotoxin” before demonstrating what she used instead to slow the signs of aging.
“You should definitely try this natural Botox alternative that actually works,” she said.
“I've been doing it for years and I'm 37 years old.
“I have never had Botox, fillers or other cosmetic procedures.
“I've had a deep forehead line on this side for years,” she said, pointing to the area.
“It actually gets softer and smoother as time goes by as I practice this.
“It also helps prevent and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

“It's just face tapping at night while you sleep.”
Nadine held up black tape and scissors as she prepared to demonstrate her three-step routine.
“Step one is just doing your normal skincare routine,” she said.
“Wait 20 to 30 minutes for your skin to calm down before applying the facial tape.
“Step two is cutting out the shapes and following the lines on the tape.
“They're there for a reason,” she said, showing the lines.
“Then you're going to want to fold that tape you just cut in half because you're going to cut up half of a heart shape.
'This is your eleven lines.
'To reduce and prevent forehead wrinkles, like that deep line I have on the right side of my forehead, we're going to cut them up into these oval shapes.
“Again, follow the lines already on the facial tape.”

Nadine peeled off the bottom of the tape, revealing a sticky surface to be applied to her face.
She lifted the skin slightly before applying the tape to the area and rubbing it to stick.
“Step three, when applying the tape, you want to gently lift your skin,” she said as she demonstrated.
“Place it there and rub it in slowly.”
She revealed in the video's caption how often she repeats the anti-aging hack.
“The easiest way to get a natural Botox look while getting your beauty sleep,” she said.
“Face tape + other natural Botox alternatives in my Amazon. You may have to deal with tape three to four times a week.”
More than 3,600 people liked the video, and many viewers indicated in the comments section that they would like to try the video for themselves.
Nadine linked from Amazon Shop in Auruza, which sells facial tape for firming and tightening.
The product description says: “solves all kinds of facial wrinkle problems: such as forehead lines, frown lines, under-eyelid lines, eye lines, nasolabial folds, mouth lines, bags under the eyes, etc.
“This facelift tape can lift the face with rejuvenating results.”
The $8 anti-aging product gets a 3.8-star rating from customers, with one reviewer saying they can feel the lift “instantly” after applying it.
“I was pleasantly surprised at how well this tape works,” they wrote.
“I immediately felt the lifting after I applied it.
“It's completely comfortable and the tape stays in place overnight. It doesn't hurt me or cause any skin problems.
“It's like peeling off a band-aid. Obviously you can't pull it off, otherwise you will feel it more.
“Overall, I am very satisfied and I can already see that my brow folds are diminishing!”
