My DIY ‘Botox’ can prevent wrinkles and build collagen – I mix it myself with a ‘filler in a bottle’ ingredient
FORGET about expensive and invasive skincare and opt for something completely different instead.
That's what this beauty influencer has done and now she's sharing her DIY "Botox" recipe with her followers.
She says her beauty treatment can prevent wrinkles and build collagen.
Ashley S Mixon (@ashleysmixon) mixes the elixir herself and it includes one ingredient she calls her "filler in a bottle."
Ashely, who has 452,000 fans on her TikTok, called her mixture her "afterglow."
“For all my sweethearts out there, it’s not Botox," she said in her post, as she prepared her skin tonic.
"If it could paralyze the muscle I definitely wouldn’t be doing this for free.”
She used a long line of ingredients and explained to viewers the benefits of each one.
Flaxseed Oil
"It helps prevent water loss through the skin and help minimize the appearance of wrinkles," she wrote.
It would also help to: "Prevent skin irritation, redness, allergies and tissue inflammation."
Myrrh
One of the three kings carried this stuff to Bethlehem. But a new generation of beauty fans are discovering its special qualities.
Ashley wrote: "It kills harmful bacteria, and heals wounds. It is more effective than vitamin E."
She had another tip: "SPF 15 sunscreen added to myrrh oil is more effective at blocking ultraviolet rays."
But she warned it was NOT pregnancy safe.
Helichrysum
She figured this oil was "perfect for graceful aging."
There were lots of benefits: "It contains several helpful antioxidants that can inspire collagen and elastin production in your skin.
"It also helps to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and dark spots as you get older," she wrote.
Sea Buckthorn Oil
She said this contains vitamin K, which helps promote collagen production for fuller skin and fewer wrinkles.
Volufiline
She admitted there was a lot of "contraversy" around this product, but she was a huge fan.
As far as she was concerned, it was "filler in a bottle."
"It promotes body volume by a cosmetic lipofilling-like effect," she explained.
"A lot of people like to put it around their eyes, I like to put it on my temples. You only need a little bit, I mix it in with my moisturizer."
Frankinsense
This was also carried by one of the three kings to Bethlehem and now it's "all the rage," said Ashely. "Everyone is using it."
There were many benefits to it: "It helps with hydration and moisture, helps the skin's ability to retain moisture, and is a good choice for dry and aging skin.
"It can be beneficial for patients with skin disorders like eczema. An all-round great essential oil."
Pomegranate Seed Oil
This ingredient was high in antioxidants. It makes pomegrantes one of the "most potent graceful aging ingredients," wrote Ashley.
"It is effective with age spots and sun damage. Amazing for plumping the skin. Just kind of a dream oil."
Korean Red Ginseng Extract
This has been used for centuries. It helps skin remain youthful looking by restoring its natural protective barrier and reducing inflammation.
There was more: "It helps reduce signs of aging, and brightens your complexion. It also boosts circulation ramping up collagen production. Been used forever," wrote Ashley.
Farmstay Snail Soothing Gel
It might not sound very appetizing, but beauty fans like this product.
"This 100% snail excretion extract provides rich nutrition and moisture," she said. "It enhances elasticity and radiance of the skin. Skin is firmer, smoother and healthier."
She mixed all the ingredients in a bowl. The finished concoction was dispensed into jars and left in the refrigerator.
She was delighted with the results: “It smells really good and feels so good.
"You could use it as a moisturizer. It’s natural and gives you glass skin," she said in conclusion.
Fans were convinced and wanted to try it out for themselves.
