Ariana Grande recently insisted that she hasn’t done anything cosmetically to her face in years. RadarOnline.com noted that the Wicked star made it clear that she’s been Botox-free for four years after she joked injectables aided in her youthful appearance and helped her win the Rising Star award.
Her career dates back to childhood – when she appeared on Broadway at age 13 before becoming a Disney Channel star. Grande, 31, took home the prestigious award, which highlights up-and-coming talent in the entertainment industry.
The 31-year-old captured the award at the Palm Springs Film Festival on Friday, January 3rd. During her acceptance speech, Grande said: “I’ve been performing since I was a child, so I never thought at the age of 31 I would be hearing the words ‘rising star’ again.
“So I wanted to start by thanking my two friends: Botox and Juvederm.”
Afterwards, she clarified she’s “still clean” from injectables while speaking with Entertainment Tonight.
She told the outlet: “I’m still clean! I’m still clean! I really want to be transparent as a beauty founder.”
Grande had founded R.E.M. beauty in 2021, and went on to promise fans she would be open about her cosmetic procedures if she decides to go back to using injectables in the future.
She continued: “When I start going again, I’ll let you know! I mean it.”
She decided to ditch Botox years ago and didn’t knock injectables, adding: “But I love it, and I support it.
“But I am still four years clean.”
She went on to point on the “lines” on her face as she expressed her “love” for the signs of aging, saying: “You see the lines? I love them!”
In September 2023, Grande opened up on why she decided to stop injectables during a Vogue Beauty Secrets video, in which she detailed her glam routine.
Grande said: “Full transparency, as a beauty person, as I do my lips, (I’ve) had a ton of lip filler over the years and Botox.
“I stopped in 2018 because I just felt so … (it was) too much.
“I just felt like hiding, you know.”
