Actress and filmmaker, Mary Remmy Njoku, has raised concerns about the increasing trend of young women opting for Botox injections.
Botox injections are shots that use a toxin to prevent a muscle from moving for a limited time. These shots are often used to smooth wrinkles on the face. They’re also used to treat neck spasms, sweating, overactive bladder, lazy eye and other conditions.
On her Instagram page, the mom of three questioned why a 21-year-old lady is undergoing a cosmetic procedure typically used by women in their 40s and 50s to reduce wrinkles.
She wondered what wrinkles women in their early 20s could possibly need to hide. The movie star then urged young women to embrace their youthful and natural beauty, reminding them that many people would give anything to relive their 20s and cherish the youthful glow that comes with it.
Njoku also addressed parents, encouraging them to teach their daughters to embrace and celebrate their natural selves.
She further stressed the importance of building self-esteem and promoting positive body image from a young age.
