I Tried Xeomin And Here Are The Details

I’m always a little afraid of injectables at first, even though I am all for them. I’m sure we all second guess injecting anything, but I hope it’s helpful hearing from people like myself willing to talk about it. I learned about a new brand of injectables called Xeomin and decided to look more into it. I like that there is another option out there to ask for and try. Because honestly, injectables or cosmetic anything works differently for everyone, so you just have to try and see what works for you.
You might have remembered an event I attended with my blogger best Lauren Lefevre a few weeks ago, where the tagline was #laterhaters. This was a PR launch event for Xeomin to spread the word on their product and new campaign, which is all about doing what is best for you… not worrying about what others think. That’s a big reason why I talk about it, because if we are going to do it, you shouldn’t feel bad about it. Injectables aren’t for everyone and neither is talking about it, but here at City Peach, we will. I’m all for trying(almost) everything once.

I went in a few weeks ago to try Xeomin and see how I liked it. I targeted my 11 lines between my eyes since I’m sensitive to light and am literally squinting all the time when outside. It took about 1 and 1/2 weeks to work on me, it can be different for everyone, and I will update you on how long it lasts as well, which can also range depending on the person. But this is why it’s helpful to just talk about it, because that’s the best way to feel it all out! You can read the details behind the product here, and start your own research on seeing what the best product is for you. As you know, any medication can have side effects so be sure to check out the Xeomin Safety Information below.
