People think I’ve had Botox, but a serum from the high street means I’m aging backwards
SHE IS constantly accused of having Botox, because of her super smooth face.
But one influencer has insisted she hasn’t had a single injection, as she has been pregnant or breastfeeding for the past four years.
Instead, she uses a store-bought serum that she claims is so good it now makes her “age backwards.”
Imogen took over TikTok to answer someone’s question: “Imogen, your skin is glowing, have you had Botox?”
“And if not, what’s the secret?”
“Honestly, that’s the biggest compliment,” Imogen said.

“No, I absolutely haven’t had Botox.
“But honestly, darlings, this is the best compliment ever!”
Imogen, 31, said she wanted to “get on with it” and frowned, revealing the lines around her eyes and forehead.
“We continue to do all the natural skin care we physically can and we continue to get compliments that we have Botox, right?” she smiled.
“Honey, you made my day.”
In another videoImogen opened up about one of the skincare products she swears by: RoC’s Derm Correxion Fill + Treat Serum.
“Botox without Botox? Sorry, what?” she began, pulling her hair back to show how smooth and flawless her skin looked.
She explained that the Roc serum, which was developed in collaboration with plastic surgeons and dermatologists, “fills in and reduces fine lines and wrinkles immediately and lastingly,” thanks to the retinol and triple hyaluronic acid it contains.
“It’s amazing,” says Imogen, mother of two.
“I’m coming closer so you can really see it. Look at my lines.
“They are filled immediately!”
She ended the video by urging her fans to run, rather than walk, to Boots to collect the serum.
How to Reverse Aging in Just 2 Weeks, According to the Royal’s Go-To Nutritionist
Gabriela Peacock, who lives in LONDON, helped Prince Harry and Princess Eugenie, among others, with the preparations for their wedding.
She told Fabulous: “The science is clear that we all have the power to make simple, life-changing changes to better ourselves in the future, regardless of our genetic makeup.
“The reality is that we all have unhealthy eating habits from time to time, like eating processed foods, smoking, drinking too much alcohol, breathing in city pollutants and even drinking water from plastic bottles – none of which are good for us.
“All of this only promotes the aging process, but we all have the potential to change this.”
It may be hard, but try to avoid sugary carbs. They fuel chronic inflammation, one of the biggest enemies of reversing aging.
While you will gain weight if you eat them regularly, it also affects your energy levels and hormone levels, which in turn affects how you look and feel.
Regardless of your age or health condition, it’s never too late to reverse the rate at which you age and embrace the energy and vitality of your younger years.
Antioxidants, such as vitamins A, C and E, are essential in neutralizing free radicals, the culprits behind premature aging.
Including a variety of fruits and vegetables in your diet creates a powerful source of antioxidants.
Omega-3 fatty acids, found in abundance in oily fish such as salmon and flaxseed, are essential for maintaining skin elasticity and hydration.
Omega-3 fatty acids nourish your skin, retain moisture and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
Collagen, a structural protein that decreases in quantity as you age, can be supplemented with collagen-rich foods, such as bone broth and lean protein sources.
“Brb, you’re just aging backwards,” Imogen captioned the clip.
She also responded to the accusation that someone used a filter on her, while showing the original video she shot on her iPhone.
“There’s always someone who’s jealous,” someone else commented on the video response.
“Your skin always looks beautiful!”
“Your face is covered in Botox,” another insisted.
To which Imogen replied: “That’s a compliment, thank you, but I’ve been pregnant and breastfeeding for almost 4 years, so I definitely didn’t do it!”
“But thank you!”
“There is simply no alternative to Botox, nothing can do what it can,” wrote someone else.
While the RoC serum isn’t cheap (£39.99 at Boots), it is significantly cheaper – and safer – than Botox.
For one Botox treatment in the UK you will typically pay between £99 and £250, depending on where you live and what areas you want treated.
