I was recently shocked to read that it is common practice for women as young as 21 to have Botox injections in Hollywood - in a bid to frostbite their looks at the point of peak perfection.
Personally I don't think there is anything more ageing than an actress who has obviously pumped her chops to the brim with poison and looks like she's spent the night in her freezer, pillowed by some Birds Eye peas.
Long before Botox, Mother Nature created natural youth enhancers - intended to keep the complexion plump, smooth and radiant.
