Celebrities really are just like us—most want to change something about the way they look. (Thanks, unattainable beauty standards!)And if anything, they have more resources to make those changes. So it shouldn’t be surprising that 25-year-old singer JoJo (you know you remember her early-2000 anthem “Leave (Get Out)“) went to the dermatologist this week to get Botox for the wrinkles around her eyes.
Her dermatologist refused. And in hindsight, JoJo says she’s grateful the doctor stopped her. The singer took to Instagram to share her story and talk about the struggles of learning to love yourself:
There are so many images and messages we receive from all angles that can make us feel inadequate in the skin we’re in. At 25, it’s hard to love and celebrate 100 percent of myself 100 percent of the time. But I’m really trying. That’s my truth. And I’m thankful to the real ones who remind me that I’m enough—just as I am.
