Better Than Botox

Not all of us are built to accept the notion of growing old gracefully, but on the other hand, not all of us are whiling to resort to harsh chemical peels or a face-lift. Although there is not much we can do about the natural progression of ageing, there is plenty we can do about sun damage, fine lines, freckles and uneven skin tone that can add years to our appearance.

So what can be better botox? StriVectin-SD, the self-dubbed better then botox wrinkle cream that has become somewhat of a phenomenon.

Originally sold in maternity stores in the US for the treatment of stretch marks, it quickly became well known for its other use! Women started applying it on their faces reporting dramatic results. Women, could not get enough of this cream, claiming it reduced fine lines, wrinkles and crows feet, thus all claiming it had taken years off their faces.

StriVectin-SD is a treatment, not a moisturiser and can only be used on the areas you wish to treat, twice a day and three times if used on stretch marks. According to the manufacturers Klein Becker you should start to see results in just 28 days.

StriVectin will be available in Australia from late April onwards and has a RRP of $242, however, at Fresh, StriVectin is available now for only $198 for a tube of 177ml (which should last you about 6 months).

Whether it is better than botox, well, I will leave that up to you to decide.

When it comes to skincare, supermodel Sarah O’Hare-Murdoch swears by La Prairie and its Cellular Microdermabrasion cream.

This kit consists of 125ml tube cream and 3 sponge applicators for the face, body and rougher areas such as elbows. The cream is a concoction of highly refined natural diamonds, freshwater pearls and crystal quartz – and you use it much like a regular scrub. This treatment is designed for continued use and gradual results are evident.

La Prairie’s Cellular Microdermabrasion cream retails at $400 nation wide, however at Fresh this product retails at $345.
