I look younger now than I did 10 years ago – using a £6.99 Amazon purchase instead of Botox
A WOMAN has revealed she now looks younger than she did ten years ago, thanks to a £6.99 Amazon purchase.
Bambi, 34, reveals that she didn’t take care of her skin in her twenties but has now managed to age backwards without the use of Botox or filler.
On TikTok, the company director shared a simple tip that she uses to stay looking youthful, and that requires hardly any effort.
“To the girl who told me we should use wrinkle patches instead of Botox.
“I owe you my life,” she said.
Bambi revealed that she applies the patches to her forehead at night and takes them off in the morning, revealing soft, supple skin underneath.

In an earlier video, Bambi added that wearing SPF daily has significantly improved the appearance of her skin.
She recommended finding an SPF that doubles as a glow primer for extra radiance.
The beauty influencer also emphasized the importance of using a cleanser on your face instead of makeup wipes, adding that she loves using retinol.
“Not only does it make you look younger, but it also stops blackheads, it changes your skin so much faster and you will have fewer blockages,” she explained.
Bambis (@bambidoesbeauty) video has probably left a lot of people impressed as it has been viewed over 3.7 million times on the video sharing platform.
TikTok users rushed to the video’s comments section to share their thoughts on her budget beauty hack.
