How far would you go to avoid aging? Most of us have at least some semblance of a skincare routine, while others break the bank on various exfoliators and lotions and goos. If you’re really terrified at the prospect of getting lines on your face, you might invest in botox or even a facelift. No matter what lengths you’ll go to to look young, you probably haven’t gone as far as skincare influencer, Isabelle Lux.

Along with an intensive beauty and skincare regiment, Isabelle Lux has quite literally trained the muscles in her face to not move. She doesn’t smile with her teeth or furrow her brows in a long-con attempt to avoid smile lines and crows feet. She claims she does this to avoid spending too much money on botox, and that it’s not too difficult to train yourself to do. Many TikTok users found her skin smoothening technique sad and dystopian.
