Kelly Ripais not afraid to keep it real.
“I know about Botox,” theLive!host said to PEOPLE atVariety’s2023 Power of Women event in New York City on Tuesday.
An honoree at the annual gathering, Ripa, 52, imparted some of her expertise on the cosmetic injections.
“It’s good for your neck,” Ripa says, adding that it “stops your neck from aging.”
Ripa has had Botox in her armpits as well, and says “it helps with sweating.”
The space between her eyebrows is another spot theLive!host says she’s had the injections. “It’s also just good to prevent the elevens here,” she notes, referring to the vertical lines that most people see between their eyebrows when they frown.
No matter where the Botox injections go, the key is who does them, Ripa says. “You gotta get a good person to do it.”
