Botox has some incredible anti-aging effects. But it’s not permanent. On average, Botox wears away within three to six months. So how you can make Botox last longer and get the most out of your treatments? Here are some of our best tips.
## Avoid Touching Your Face for 12 Hours
Making Botox last longer starts right after treatment. Avoid rubbing your face for 12 to 24 hours after the injection. This can spread the Botox to nearby muscles and diminish its effectiveness on the target muscles. Gently remove makeup and stay away from exfoliation for a day.
## Take a Break from Intense Workouts for 24 Hours
On the first day after your injection, skip the gym. Doing intense exercise can prevent Botox from settling into the muscles in your face. After the first 24 hours, you can go back to your exercise routine. 

But it’s important to know that intense workouts can break down Botox faster. When your metabolism speeds up, your body also metabolizes Botox faster. You may want to do fewer intense workouts during the week to make Botox last longer. Find a balance between intense workouts and low-impact training. 
## Don’t Use Abrasive Products on Your Face
If you’ve had great results with abrasive scrubs, masks, and facial cleansers, you may want to use these products along with Botox as part of your skincare routine. However, using more abrasive products doesn’t make Botox last longer. These products can actually reduce the effectiveness of Botox if they irritate or overstimulate the face. 
## Hydrate Your Skin
Moisturizing your skin is always important, but it’s even more important if you’re trying to make your Botox last longer. Hydration helps the skin look plump and smooth. It also reduces inflammation and can prevent breakouts. Using a facial moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated and healthy can make Botox last longer.
## Eat a Healthy Diet
Your diet can also affect your skin and make your Botox last longer. Eating a healthy diet with lots of vitamins and minerals is good for your skin. It helps collagen production to give you glowing skin. Avoiding processed foods and sugars can also reduce the risk of irritation or swelling on your skin, making Botox last longer.
## Reduce Your Stress
Did you know stress can make Botox wear off faster? Stress can cause breakouts and skin damage. It can also lead to lots of frowning and scowling, expressions that put a strain on the exact muscles the Botox treatment is targeting. So if you’re feeling stressed, take some time for self-care! You’ll reduce your stress, feel great, and even make your Botox last longer.
