READER’S QUESTION: "I recently turned 26, and I'm considering getting preventative Botox. It seems like every girl my age gets it done, and they don't look crazy or different. Their skin looks super smooth, and I'm starting to get some wrinkle lines around my eyes and on my forehead, so I feel like getting a little bit will just help them smooth out and help my makeup lay better (like shaving my face does). I've never gotten it done before, and I know it's not that serious of a procedure, and it doesn't last that long, but I'm still scared I'll regret touching my face at all. Is it that dangerous/bad? What should I do?"
