Actress and filmmaker, Mary Njoku, has raised concerns about the increasing trend of young women opting for Botox injections.

On her Instagram page, Njoku questioned why 21-year-olds are undergoing a cosmetic procedure typically used by women in their 40s and 50s to reduce wrinkles. 

She wondered about wrinkles women in their early 20s could possibly need to hide.

The actress urged young women to embrace their youth 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 instill in their daughters a love for their natural selves.

She stressed the importance of building self-esteem and promoting positive body image from a young age.

“Is having a lifeless face now the new trend?

Older people, those in their 40s and 50s use it to reduce wrinkles.

“But at 20s, what wrinkles could you possibly be trying to hide? Embrace your youth while you still can.

“If only they understood how much people would give to be in their 20s again. They’d cherish their youthful beauty even more. Let’s teach our daughters to embrace and celebrate their natural selves. Self-esteem is everything.”
