Everyone thinks I have Botox but I take it as a compliment, the truth is much cheaper and anyone can copy me
FLAWLESS skin could be within the reach of anyone thanks to one TikTok user’s beauty hack.
She has a fantastic complexion and everyone thinks she has had Botox.
It’s a remark she takes as a compliment, but the truth is much cheaper.
Anyone can copy her method, she says, because it is super-easy.
Victoria Benitez (@victoria__benitez), who has 91,000 followers, was responding to a commenter who doubted her.
They said: “So amazing, but you have real Botox. I’m tired of people lying. No one cares you have Botox.”
But in her post, Victoria took the criticism lightly.
“I take no offense because literally everyone thinks I have Botox and I take it as a huge f**king compliment. But I don’t.”
Everywhere she goes, her glowing skin draws compliments, she said.
“I’ve been to countless restaurants and people are like, ‘your skin is amazing. What do you do?’” she exclaimed.
When she lets them in on her secret, they still don’t believe her.
“I tell them then, they’re like, ‘no, you have Botox.'”
She demonstrates her movable face to prove no needles have been near it.
“This is my forehead and I’m wrinkling it right now. I don’t think someone with Botox could do what I’m doing.”
Victoria did admit to some work when she was 20 and it was a big regret.
“I did get lip filler when I was 20, big mistake, I will never do it again.”
Instead, she uses something completely natural.
“This is Botox that you make at home. And the best part is it’s two ingredients. Flax seeds and water.”
Overnight, she steeps the seeds in water, and then drains it through a cheesecloth, leaving a gel-like substance that she rubs over her face.
“ I just can’t fake how much I love it. You can put it in your hair, this is a natural shampoo as well,” she said as she slathered it all over her visage.
“It’s freaking amazing. My skin right now is having a freaking party,” she gushed.
She explained why this stuff worked: “The fatty acids are getting in there. making my skin cells dance.
“The benefits of flax sees are pretty endless. When you put it on your skin, the fatty acids are going to give you that glow,” she continued.
“It’s also anti-inflammatory, so it’s going to reduce any redness and inflammation,” she said of her Botox alternative.
Commenters were able to vouch for her unusual method.
“My mom approves,” said one person. “She’s been doing it for years.”
Another person agreed: “My skin has never felt as soft and tight. In love with this right now. Thanks for sharing.”
