Part 12 Q: But don't anti wrinkle injections tighten muscles, rather than loosen them?

No, that’s a common misconception. Anti wrinkle injections don't actually tighten the muscles, it does the opposite. There’s a yin and a yang.

For everything that pulls muscles one way, there’s another muscle pulling it the other way. 

Gravity pulls everything down so we rebalance the muscles and give the muscles that lift an advantage to the muscles that pull down. So we’re actually lifting rather than tightening.

Part 11 Q: What is the difference between anti wrinkle injections and dermal fillers?

Anti wrinkle injections relaxes muscles and will stop the muscle that’s causing the wrinkles from contracting. Once we apply anti wrinkle injections, the wrinkles essentially fall out.

A dermal filler actually plumps out the line with hyaluronic acid. It’s perfect for areas where there’s plenty of movement, such as around the mouth.

Part 10 Q: Which celebrities are examples of considered subtle cosmetic procedure?

My favourite example is Michelle Pfeiffer. If you look at her back when she did Grease 2, she had circles under her eyes and didn’t look as good then as she does now. But everything that she’s had done, she’s done inconspicuously and gently, and she looks elegant and lovely.

Jennifer Aniston is another great example, she always looks natural and Angelina Jolie, her skin always looks good, her cheeks are always nicely formed and she never looks like she’s overdone.

Part 9 Q: What are four skincare products that every women needs in her routine?

Sunscreen in Australia is number one, both for prevent ageing and preventing skin cancers. 
The second is a really good moisturiser to maintain the skin’s barrier against the environment. 
The third essential product is one that’s going to prevent free radical damage in the skin, which an antioxidant-rich product will do. 
The fourth thing you need is a skincare product that’s going to allow the skin to repair well plus stimulate collagen production and promote blood flow.
