On the one hand, we have Justine Bateman who is encouraging women to push past the fear of aging and accept themselves. On the other hand, we have Kelly Ripa who’s got a PowerPoint of exactly where to place the needles. While being honored at Variety’s 2023 Power of Women event, Kelly imparted all of her Botox wisdom to the readers of People, telling them her top spots to inject and why. She says the neck to keep it from showing age, armpits to stop sweating and forehead to prevent the “elevens.”
Kelly Ripa is not afraid to keep it real.
“I know about Botox,” the Live! host said to PEOPLE at Variety’s 2023 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 the Live! 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.”

Something nice: I prefer term ‘elevens’ to ‘worry lines.’ I agree that finding a good practitioner is crucial. I also hope they give advice as to the amount and frequency. I’ve always been spilt on the sweating thing. I understand why a celebrity doesn’t want to be caught with pit stains, but blocking a sweat gland seems unwise.
As for Kelly’s advice about turning back the clock (at a women’s empowerment luncheon), I won’t knock her for it. I am aging my way. You are aging yours. I feel that if a person is doing something for themselves and not because of external pressure, then I can’t stand in any more judgement of Kelly than I can Justine. Like, if a person wanted proper Botox advice, this sounds like it’s good advice, at least.
Unrelated but funny – on Watch What Happens Live, when asked about the Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes affair, Kelly joked that she and husband Mark Consuelos “have taken a vow of chastity while we’ll be working together because I know how ABC does not like that, you know, TV partners banging on the side.” At least I hope it’s a joke, considering Mark’s only “deal-breaker” is no sex.
