Olivia Munn on Botox, fillers: I want to try to avoid anything like that
Olivia Munn routinely dismisses the fact that her face has completely changed by attributing it to makeup, skincare, things she eats and anything but Botox, fillers or plastic surgery. In fact this isn’t the first time she’s denied using Botox or having surgery. I think it’s clear not even comparing her face to it’s 1.0 version that she’s had work done, but she likes to keep up the facade that it’s all makeup and skincare. Olivia gave a skincare and makeup-centered Q&A to People this week in which she doubles (triples?) down on her claim that she’s not doing anything except taking care of her skin.
What’s your biggest beauty focus?
Skin! Makeup can really transform your look, but nothing replaces having great skin. It’s always been important to me to invest in it. I’ve regretted buying shoes or purses, but I’ve never regretted what I’ve spent on my skin.
Did you ever struggle with it?
I had adult acne not that long ago. It was worse than when I was 18! I started using Proactiv and I haven’t dealt with it since.
Now you’re the face of the brand! As a skin-care fanatic, have you ever considered Botox or fillers?
I want to try to avoid anything like that. Not that there’s anything wrong with it, but I believe that we, as women, should embrace our age and have no problem saying it. Sure, parts of my skin don’t feel as tight anymore. But we can’t control the day we were born.
So what else do you use to keep your skin looking great?
I put grape seed oil all over my face, neck and body because it’s so moisturizing.

Ok to be fair she didn’t say here that she hasn’t had plastic surgery, however she did claim that last month. The changes in her face are more than just weight loss and great makeup. She could talk around these issues or own up to minor work, but instead she’s fibbing. I’m not saying she owes it to anyone to be like “yes, I had an eye lift,” or “my doctor uses Botox to achieve a different jawline,” but the least she could do is not lie.
To consider her side for a moment, how could she answer this question if she didn’t want to own up to injectables? I guess she could say “Sure, I see nothing wrong with either Botox or fillers” and then move on. Or she could say that she’s seen other women have good results with injectables and not be personal in her response. I get the impression that encourages these type of questions so she can “set the record straight.” She keeps bringing it up after all.
