Retinol instead of Botox ?

So I’m in my mid thirties but two kids later and I look really old, tired and wrinkly. I’ve never done Botox and I’m not sure I want to try as I’m still breastfeeding. I’ve heard retinol does wonders - anyone using retinol creams / serums who can share their experience ? Does it also exist in tablet format, that you can just swallow ?

You can't use retinol while breastfeeding. It's a topical preparation of vitamin A, and I wouldn't recommend taking too much orally either.

While breastfeeding I used azelaic acid and vitamin C. I also liked AHA chemical exfoliation. You'll 100% want a good sunscreen too. Making sure your skin stays moisturized never hurts either

You can look into dermaplaning too

Drunk partner

My partner came home drunk 12:30 other night and tried to have sex with me. I was asleep when he woke me I said no. Next thing I know I can feel a rocking in bed and turn around to him lying there masturbating. It’s made me feel really uncomfortable! I’ve raised it and he isn’t seeing anything wrong with it and blaming me saying I’m just trying to cause arguments all the time and that I’m boring. Made me feel like crap! How would anyone else feel?
