I am not against botox, and I would never judge anyone else for getting any kind of surgical or non-surgical procedure, but I think when you’re young there are other ways you can look after your skin, and some amazing products on the market. Botox just wasn’t necessary for me at this age.” — Kim Kardashian. [Himdustan Times]
