We’re talking about the connection between Botox and botulinum toxin, the long-term complications some people have experienced, and why I personally decided against getting Botox after seriously considering it myself. I also share some natural alternatives I’ve used for supporting healthy skin, wrinkles, and aging naturally without injections.
