Angela Bassett Plastic Surgery: She Admits to Getting Botox: “I Still Need to Express Myself”

Angela Bassett has had some little plastic surgery and doesn’t mind sharing that fact.

In her NewBeauty cover story, the 61-year-old actress discussed her anti-aging beauty routine, which includes the use of Botox to reduce the appearance of fine lines.

“We all knew about Botox! Although I am an advocate for going au natural, I have given in twice. Bassett told the media company, “Just a little bit, not too much—I still need to express myself.

Bassett revealed that she had tried Ultherapy, non-surgical skin tightening and lifting procedure that targets fine lines in the brow, neck, under the chin, and décolletage, in addition to Botox.

The actress’s mother encouraged her to start using skin care products when she was young. When I was a teenager, my mother would take me to a dermatologist once every six weeks despite the fact that she was a poor woman. I went to an aesthetician when I could after college when I was a young actor living in New York,”.

Angela Bassett credits getting plenty of sleep and using skin care products that work well with her skin type (she recommends Dr. Barbara Sturm’s brand).

The actress explained “As you get older, the things you might get away with not doing in your 20s or 30s can begin to catch up,” so it’s important to “Be a bit selfish” and “Give to yourself” in order to have “More to offer.”

‘I try to get away with seven hours [of sleep], but if it’s six hours, I feel it instantly,’ she continued. Less rebound effect occurs. Your own needs must come first.
