    Gwyneth Paltrow on ageing gracefully and trying injectables

    After a Botox-induced panic attack back when she was turning 40, Gwyneth Paltrow was convinced she would stay away from injectables for good and let her frown lines do their thing.

    Almost a decade later (and on the cusp of turning 50), the wellness industry pioneer had instead decided to seek the knowledge of close friend and plastic surgeon, Julius Few, to investigate what exactly women are doing when they don’t want to have major surgery. 

    One 90-second “teeny” jab between the eyebrows later and Gwyneth was sold on her now brand partner, Merz Aesthetic, and their purified injectable Xeomin. 

    Speaking to Allure, Gwyneth explained that although her philosophy on ageing gracefully centres around “taking care of your body from the inside out”, that doesn’t mean she isn’t opposed to a little external help.

    Describing the results of her injection, Gwyneth said, “it was such a nice, natural result and it made me look like I had a nice, long, good sleep,” also praising the low-intensity side effects which left her “completely expressive and normal”.

    So can we now expect to see a greater push toward cosmetic treatments on Goop? Hmmm, not quite. Although Gwyneth admits the Xeomin is keeping her looking refreshed and she is open to anything, “I need to gauge what’s right for me at every phase in my life,” she said.

    For now, she still advocates for “amazing nutrition and sleep” as the cornerstones of ageing gracefully. 

    And while self-confidence in our physical appearance is something we all strive for, when it comes to defining beauty Gwyneth believes it all comes from within, “beauty is about feeling beautiful and doing the things that make you feel internally beautiful”. 

    So if injectables still aren’t your thing (pure or not), do as Goop has been preaching for over a decade and “commit to good nutrition or exercise, you will feel better and you will look better”.

    Hello friends, an awesome and amazing testimony about a Great spell caster i really love to share. I'm Bello by name from NIGERIA. Getting my wife back is what I least expected and could never imagine. I and my wife have been married for ten years and we have been living happily but all of a sudden she changed completely and turned away from me and i never knew what was going on, i tried to ask her but she refused to tell me what the problem is, and as time went on she sought for a divorce. I was so worried and confused, and i did all my possible best to get her back but it wasn't easy, i thought all hope was lost, and during my search for a way out, a friend of mine who had similar problem told me about a great spell caster called (Dr JB) who helped him get back his wife also. I never believed in spell casting in my entire life or magic because I never thought it would work but I tried to give this man a chance and to my greatest surprise, He cast a spell to bring her back, but today we are back together into a lovely home with three beautiful kids. We are happy together again and I am using this opportunity to tell anyone passing a similar situation to unlimitedlovespellcast@gmail.com OR unlimitedlovespellcast@yahoo.com WhatsApp him +1‪(415) 286-5884‬ . and you will be the next to tell a new testimony.

    I'm quite wary of injectables. I applaud that she's encouraging good nutrition etc as the basis of a healthy approach.

    I dont think I am up for this. Would like to look younger, but not this.

    Shop A Everyday 24 Sep 2020 11:27 PM

    No needles here either

    Ellelily 23 Sep 2020 8:28 PM

    Would try this if I had the money

    Susmat 23 Sep 2020 5:20 PM

    Nutrition and sleep I agree with but no way would I try injectables

    Angage 23 Sep 2020 1:42 PM

    I have not tried.Not sure about this one.

    sootyblack_14 23 Sep 2020 10:43 AM

    Haven't tried them and don't want to!!!

    onlyoni 22 Sep 2020 9:17 PM

    I've never tried injectables and I doubt whether I would.

    Sally10 22 Sep 2020 8:27 PM

    No thanks. I hate needles. :P

    GeeJ 22 Sep 2020 5:35 PM

    Jessica712 21 Sep 2020 12:55 PM

    I haven't tried injectables.

    I’m a believer of each to their own and say never say never. At this stage I’m a no especially with recent health issues I’m trying to minimise toxic load. I thought of Gwyn as a health gurus and wouldn’t go down an injectable path but like I said each to their own. I guess it’s good that she is somewhat transparent and isn’t a health gurus who denies having work down.

    Ethelinde 20 Sep 2020 10:36 PM

    No interest in injectables.

    bebeautiful34 20 Sep 2020 6:31 PM

    I might try them later, although I am afraid I'll have to keep getting them, and more of them, to maintain the look

    IndieAna 20 Sep 2020 5:00 PM

    I haven't tried injectables before, but I haven't ruled out using them in the future

    S-P 20 Sep 2020 3:38 PM

    I doubt I'd go for injectables. Too invasive for me.

    Elunia 20 Sep 2020 3:36 PM

    I don't know anything about this injectable. Not sure if care just yet.

    chloe_mitch 20 Sep 2020 9:47 AM

    She does look great! It is just too bad that i am petrified of needles... wishing there would be another option that is less painful.

    I also agree that it does help to eat healthy for a good glow... something that i need to work on.

    Karma Llama 19 Sep 2020 8:40 PM

    I think I'll give injectables a miss.

    NellAdams 19 Sep 2020 12:37 PM

    I just don't like what Gwyneth Paltrow stands for with her brand. She's beautiful and I'm sure some of her advice IS helpful. But she also pushes her audience to waste money on so much crap - and sometimes DANGEROUS crap - that I won't be taking any advice from her at all. It's too bad.

    Ellyloves 19 Sep 2020 9:33 AM

    She does look amazing!

    maggieball 19 Sep 2020 9:05 AM

    I have no judgement for anyone using injectables or cosmetic surgery, though I'm not sure I want to take GP's advice on anything. For me, I'm learning to love my wrinkles, which are diminishing slowly along with my eyesight.
