Nigerian actress, Mary Njoku has taken to her Instagram page to advocate against the increasing trend of young women opting for Botox injections.
The filmmaker, who wondered why women in their early 20s undergo Botox, noted that it is used by women in their 40s and 50s to reduce wrinkles.
She noted that many people would give anything to relive their 20s, advising young women to cherish their youthful glow.
Njoku also addressed parents, encouraging them to instill in their daughters a love for their natural selves.
She wrote, “Botox at 21? Really, why?
“Is having a lifeless face now the new trend?
“Older people, those in their 40s and 50s use it to reduce wrinkles.
“But at 20s, what wrinkles could you possibly be trying to hide? Embrace your youth while you still can.
“If only they understood how much people would give to be in their 20s again. They’d cherish their youthful beauty even more. Let’s teach our daughters to embrace and celebrate their natural selves. Self-esteem is everything.”
