Nollywood actress and filmmaker Mary Njoku has frowned at 21-year-old girls who are now getting Botox.
Taking to her Instagram page, she questioned if having a lifeless face is now the new trend, as she noted how Botox is only being used by women in their 40s and 50s to reduce wrinkles. She questioned what wrinkles girls in their 20s are trying to hide.
Mary admonished them to embrace their youth while they still can as she noted how many would do anything to be in their 20s again and cherish their youthful beauty.
Speaking to parents, she told them to teach their daughters to embrace and celebrate their natural selves, as self-esteem is everything.
“Botox at 21? Really, why?
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”.
Back in September, actress, Mary Njoku had sent a message to Nigerian religious women, noting how there was nothing wrong with IVF. She admonished religious women to feel free to include IVF in their testimonies so that God can use them to inspire and bless other families as well.
In a follow-up post, she slammed those who are fond of saying IVF failed them but God gave them a miracle. Calling such a statement absurd, she noted how IVF is a miracle and so is a C-section. She told them to stop using religion to discourage others from receiving their blessings.
Last year, Mary Njoku posed an important question to celebrities on life after stardom. Pointing out how no one stays at the top forever, Mary questioned what would become of them once their fame ended. She further asked if they have a real life to fall back on or have burnt down their real life.
In other news, Mary Njoku had sent a wake-up call to social media users. She revealed that she misses the days when people would confront others when they mess up and have team conversations with them. She noted how what people do these days is to become keyboard warriors and seek sympathy and temporary fame on social media instead of facing issues head-on.
