14 DAY TRIAL // As per Kim Kardashian, she only had Botox a few times, with the last round of injections giving her a black eye, which made her swear it off for years to come. Unofficially, Kim has been getting a lot of work done in recent years, and Botox is the least invasive of all.
A few months ago, fans criticized her for her smooth, absolutely wrinkle-free complexion, which they attributed to more Botox. That she would inject the poison while pregnant seemed unthinkable to them, and so it did for Kim too, who fought back. She’d been using Biotulin instead, The Telegraph says.
Kim will sell “organic Botox” in the US
Biotulin is a new type of Botox that is completely “organic,” the report notes. Kim has been a fan of the gel for a very long time; in fact, she loves it so much she’s about to make millions off it because she bought the US rights for it.
“The transparent gel - which is applied topically - claims to smooth wrinkles within an hour,” the report says. “Although the immediate smoothing effects only last up to day, the wrinkle-reducing effects are claimed to be cumulative, smoothing the skin with continued use. The main ingredient in Biotulin is spilanthol, a local anaesthetic obtained from the extract of the plant acmella oleracea. It reduces muscle contractions and relaxes facial features.”
So this is a gel that has the same effects as Botox within 60 minutes, minus the injections and the actual injecting of a poison into the skin. It is also much cheaper than Botox, can be sold over the counter and can be applied without help from a trained professional.
On the downside, the results last less, which implies continuous, daily use.
In other words, if Kim really did acquire the US distribution rights for this miracle-type of gel, she’s about to get richer than she might have ever imagined.
Kim Kardashian, the icon of a generation
Kim’s start in showbiz was risible: she was Paris Hilton’s personal assistant promoted to the rank of BFF, who sold her own adult tape to the media to get famous and who then landed a reality show.
The Kim Kardashian of today is an entirely different woman, having fashioned herself into a role model for the younger generation (yes, really), a fashion and beauty icon. Her various business ventures confirm her status as one of the world’s biggest and most influential stars: she has a clothing and accessories line, a makeup line, an insanely popular online game and just as popular an app.
Her looks are studied and copied down to the final piece of Spanx, while her makeup and styling choices have generated countless tutorials. If Kim Kardashian says she’s using Biotulin for her smooth complexion, millions of women worldwide will want to do the same, and that’s guaranteed.
