Lulu gives up Botox

Lulu has announced she has given up Botox, reports the Daily Mail.

The 59-year-old singer told the newspaper that the wrinkle-smoothing injections are making her face too frozen.

"I used to have Botox and I thought it was fantastic at first," she explained. "But it quickly fades. Too much of it makes your face immovable and it doesn't actually help you to look young. So I stopped."

Demand for Botox injections saw a dramatic rise in popularity during 2007, with a 51 per cent rise in treatments recorded by the Harley Medical Group.

Liz Dale, director of the group, explained that facial rejuvenation and Botox are no longer seen as a luxury, but part of a regular beauty maintenance regime.

Victoria Beckham allegedly uses a face cream containing Botox, it has been reported.

According to Grazia magazine, the Spice Girl swears by the product to stay looking young.

The cream contains Argireline - a muscle relaxant - and is priced at £55 a tub. ADNFCR-1374-ID-18532372-ADNFCR
