“If it were up to me, I’d just protect my skin, honey,” she exclaimed.

The expert also noted that long-term use of vitamin A can also improve your skin in the long run.

“I love my Botox. I don’t care what anyone says. It makes my skin smooth and tight,” she revealed.

Monteith said she usually gets Botox injections, a toxin that is supposed to relax muscles to prevent wrinkles, once a quarter.
She also gets filler injections.
“I had a few in my cheeks the other day because like I said, they looked like they were falling down due to gravity,” Monteith said, referring to the area under her eyelids.

In the comments on her video, others also shared what they do to keep their skin looking youthful well into their 30s.

Another shared: ‘Alternatives also include exercise, hydration and I use rosewater/plant ceramide moisturizer. Coconut oil also around my eyes sometimes for extra hydration. I’m 35 and love this combo!’
“I’m 30, my skin looks 22. SPFs, no alcohol, daily red light therapy, monthly facials, lots of water and minimal sugars… I use retinol once a week,” someone else typed.
