“That’s a Botox Situation”

I love my dermatologist for her candid analysis of high-priced face creams (“mostly bullshit”), SPF 60s and above (“SPF 30 is all anyone can do”) and the general wealth of beauty information out there (“some good research, not a lot of facts”). So I eagerly queried her about the best method of attack for a stubborn line that’s beginning to appear between my brows. Could there be a new antioxidant cream that could gently slough it away; a Retin-A wonder that could erase it; a deep moisturizer that could fill it up? No. Apparently, what I have here is a crease caused by years of frowning (I’d like to think it came from deep thought and steadfast concentration). In other words, “a Botox situation.”
