Joe Jonas is Open About Using Injectables, and He Wants You to be Too
Want to feel really old? Joe Jonas, the one-time tween heartthrob, has turned to injectables to maintain his youthful appearance, and he'd like the rest of us to start being more open about it as well.
In an interview with People Magazine, Jonas discussed his new partnership with Xeomin, an injectable neurotoxin that — like Botox — works to stop the formation of expression lines on the face.
"We're all getting older, and part of that is being comfortable in our skin," he told People in an exclusive interview. "I don't think it's necessarily something that we have to shy away from. We can be open and honest about it, and be confident, and not really shy away from speaking our truth."
Jonas, who turned 33 in August, says that Xeomin has brought about a new level of confidence. "I personally care a lot about what I put in my body, and with an aesthetic treatment like this, I wanted to be mindful of what was in it," he said. "I liked that it relieved the area a little bit and I was like, 'Okay, this is great,' without it being too much for my liking. I appreciated that it wasn't over the top. It's very light."
According to People, being open about self-care and grooming hasn't always come easy for Jonas, but he surrounds himself with people who encourage him to be whoever he wants to be, and that means embracing his love of painting his nails, wearing clothes that he feels good in, and having confidence in all of it.
"There were all these talks at one point, like, "Oh, men can't do this or it's weird for guys to do that,' and I think there's a stigma that's fading, and I like that," he says. "Guys are more openly wearing makeup, and it's great to see. It's like, do whatever you want, you know? It's a beautiful generation that we're living in."
