Hate to bust your bubble — but the fountain of youth isn’t at the tip of engorged boobs.
“Breast milk Botox” is buzzing among beauty buffs as a way to stave off unsightly signs of aging via Mother Nature’s nectar.
Rather than pumping their mugs full of neurotoxins, injectables known to erase fine lines and crow’s feet, wannabe glamour gals are using frozen bags of breast milk to achieve that forever-young firmness.
It’s like taking candy from a baby — then rubbing it all over your face.
“Yes, ladies, your milk is like Botox,” new mom Regan Todderud, said while icing her face with a block of boob juice. “TikTok told me.”
But, alas, those sage social media know-it-alls got it all wrong, so says Park Avenue double-board certified dermatologist, Rita Linkner.
“There is no biochemical substitute for neuromodulators like Botox, which works at the level of the neuromuscular junction to prevent signaling of impulses that contract muscles,” Linkner exclusively tells The Post.
“Breast milk and its components are not able to achieve this,” said the specialist. “No skincare is able to achieve this.”
Well, that sucks for anti-aging fiends.
But mama’s bounty has come in handy for a handful of health nuts.
Ashley Lemieux, of Phoenix, virally claimed that breast milk healed her psoriasis.
“My hands haven’t looked or felt this good in two years,” cheered the millennial in a TikTok clip. “They’re not cracked, they’re not bleeding, they’re not inflamed. I can bend them — women’s bodies are so cool.”
Linh Ta, a new mom whose newborn suffered from acne, transformed her liquid supply into a face mask, hoping the do-it-yourself hack would disappear his pimples.
There is currently no science to support breast milk’s efficacy as an acne antidote for infants.
Research, however, has shown that the good stuff does reduce the risk of childhood obesity, as well as respiratory and gastrointestinal diseases, diabetes and some childhood cancers.
But when it comes to preserving a woman’s youthful glow, Linkner says it’s a “No.”
“It should also be noted that infectious diseases can be transmitted via breast milk,” she noted. “So, I would caution anyone from purchasing breast milk from someone else in order to use it for its falsely purported anti-aging effects.”
