If you've got money to burn and aren't at all serious about looking younger and healthier, well, then botox is the choice for you. However, if you work with a budget and are more serious about your anti aging efforts, then anti wrinkle creme is what you need to be using -- NOT botox. Wait... you think botox is better than anti wrinkle creme? Well, if that's the case, then take a look at these 5 things that will make you swear off botox for good!

5 Things You Didn't Know About Botox...

1. Botox is a poison. Go ahead and ask botox pushers if you don't believe it, they won't deny it. This "poison" is known as botulinum and it's a bacterial neurotoxin. Although "considered" safe to use on minute portions of the face, this dangerous little substance can actually cause harm or even death if the person is exposed to large amounts of it. On a side note, do you know how dangerous anti wrinkle creme is? Well, it's about as dangerous as a small container of fruit.

2. Less than 5%. Did you know that botox is approved for use on less than 5% of your whole face? Well, it's true! That leaves 95% of the work up to you. Seriously, does that sound like an easy solution to looking younger?

3. Not a Long Term Solution. Botox injections performed regularly put you at risk for skin and possible nerve damage. Such injections can actually thin the skin as well, thereby exacerbating some skin conditions you may already have.

4. Doesn't Address The Big Picture. Unlike anti wrinkle creme, botox only takes care of one issue of anti aging, motion wrinkles. Everything else -- finelines, crowsfeet, eye bags, age spots, sun damage, etc. -- will be left up to you to take care of. So, yes, you will have fewer wrinkles after the injection is done, but every other sign of aging will STILL be there after the injection.

5. Don't Last Long. Within 3-6 months after the injection, all the wrinkles on your face will be back and you might even have a few new ones to accompany the old. In case you didn't realize, this means you will have to drop $700-$900 on botox EVERY few months. Ask yourself this: can you really afford to spends thousands of dollars a year on an anti aging treatment with so few benefits?

Now do you understand why botox is such a bad idea; especially with how reliable & affordable anti wrinkle creme is. Hopefully you do, and you will no longer consider botox to be a viable anti aging treatment.
