    Botox® (or botulinum injections) can uplift you in more ways than one.

    Besides the obvious of giving your skin a boost and vanquishing the dreaded wrinkles, it has also been found to lift your spirits.

    Investing in Botox® is a nifty way to make you feel better, fresher, and younger, but you’ll want to make sure you’re not opting for a cheap, quick fix by considering a number of factors that ensure you get the most bang for your Botox® buck.

    Thankfully, the experts at Skin Renewal have provided a few tips to extend the longevity of your Botox® results.

    Watch your meds

    In case you haven’t noticed, Botox® wears off quicker in the winter months.

    This is due to taking more flu fighters like Viral Choice, Med-Lemon, and Corenza C. The high doses of vitamin C and other stimulants in these meds can inhibit the optimal uptake of the Botulinum toxin.

    Certain antibiotics and other drugs might also have a similar effect.

    With this in mind, it might be a good idea to chat with your doctor about what medication and supplements you’re taking, as it could be necessary to put your intake for some of them on pause in the run-up to your appointment.

    Know your zinc levels

    You may want to stock up on zinc, as it is essential for Botox® to bind with your neurons in a way that causes the target muscles to relax.

    If you’re deficient in zinc, this may affect your results.

    Oysters, red meat, and poultry are excellent sources of zinc. Baked beans, chickpeas, and nuts (such as cashews and almonds) also contain zinc.

    Say no to ciggies

    It might be difficult to break this habit, even when you know how bad smoking is for your skin.

    It also makes your Botox® lifespan far shorter, so make this another reason to stop puffing.

    Mind your metabolism

    First up, you need to know that Botox® is a protein.

    Our bodies are designed to break down proteins, which is why it doesn’t last forever.

    The thing is, everybody breaks down proteins at a different rate. While this is largely out of your control, anything that revs up your body’s metabolic rate can break down neurotoxins faster.

    This is why taking fat burners or consuming a lot of caffeine can result in more frequent Botox® top-ups.

    Fight inflammation

    Inflammation burns up proteins, and because Botox® is a protein, this means it can disintegrate faster if you aren’t being mindful of things that cause inflammation.

    Regulating levels of stress, eating healthier, and getting enough exercise are great ways to keep inflammation at bay.

    Invest in a good sunscreen

    If there’s any cream you simply must apply to your skin, it is sunscreen.

    Exposure to UV rays is incredibly damaging to your skin and also causes cellular inflammation, which can make Botox® deteriorate.

    You’re also going to want to use something that contains antioxidants that will protect you from blue light (light emitted from electronic devices like our smartphones, tablets, and TVs), which can also cause low-level inflammation in the skin.

    For full-spectrum protection, Heliocare 360 is recommended.

    As you can see, there are tons of tips to stretch the life of Botox®, many of which create a more wholesome lifestyle overall for yourself, too.

    There are also skincare innovations to add to your routine and keep yourself fresh-faced and wrinkle-free for longer.

    If you want to know more and aren’t sure about something that specifically pertains to you and your skin, you can always make an appointment with a Skin Renewal doctor.
