Jennifer Lawrence gets baby Botox to keep her face moving

Jennifer Lawrence told Vogue she gets baby Botox but limits how much she uses, saying she can't do a lot because she needs movement in her face as an actor. The Oscar winner said she'd rather keep skin looking dewy and pretty than overdo cosmetic work that could freeze her expressions.

Key Takeaways

• Lawrence said she gets "baby Botox" but cannot do a lot of it as a working actor.
• She told Vogue facial movement matters more than chasing a tighter look.
• She is nervous about fat transfers and wants buccal fat removal but will not get it.
• She likes radiofrequency treatments and focuses on facials, glow, and hydration.

In a USA Today report on her September 2026 Vogue interview, Lawrence explained why heavy Botox is off the table. "I can't really get very much done," she said. "I need to have movement in my face — I get baby Botox, but I can't do a lot."

If her skin ends up "a little saggier" than she would like, she said, "at least it looks dewy and pretty." Her comments arrive weeks after Olivia Wilde told Vogue it is hard to cast actresses who can still move their faces.

Why does Jennifer Lawrence limit Botox?

Lawrence framed the choice as a job requirement. As an actor, she needs her face to move. Calling it baby Botox, she described using only a limited amount so she can still act with a mobile face.

Wilde said she is "constantly searching for actresses who can still move their faces." Lawrence's limited Botox approach keeps that movement intact for roles.

What plastic surgery does she want but won't get?

Lawrence said she is "really nervous" about fat transfers and wants to watch how those turn out for others first. The procedure she actually wants is buccal fat removal, which removes fat from the cheeks for a more sculpted look.

"I would love to have a buccal fat removal," she told Vogue. "I can't because everybody would know, but just know that I want that." Visibility, she suggested, is the blocker.

What other beauty treatments does she use?

She said she believes in facials and likes radiofrequency because of her "huge cheeks," describing it as a way of "exercising them as much as possible." USA Today also reported she uses tretinoin, protects melasma from the sun, and applies diaper cream on her face at night.

Lawrence, who is about to turn 36, has stayed busy on screen after "Die My Love" and is expected in the "Hunger Games" prequel "Sunrise on the Reaping," with a Scorsese project opposite Leonardo DiCaprio still ahead.
