Kourtney Kardashian has revealed the reason she doesn't get Botox anymore - and it's seriously not what you're expecting.
The mother-of-four, 46, admitted that while she's been partial to the injections in the past, she's stayed firmly away from them for a four years and has no plans to return.
For those unfamiliar, Botox is a brand name for the botulinum neurotoxin, which is the most common cosmetic procedure performed worldwide, with nearly three million injections estimated to take place each year.
It's originally derived from a potent neurotoxin produced by bacteria, and it works by blocking signals from the nerves that control the facial muscles.

To explain, the muscles relax to help your fine lines and wrinkles disappear, with only minor side effects like swelling and bruising in most cases - although counterfeit or mishandled Botox can cause harmful reactions.
However, Kourtney's reason is actually nothing to do with a botched job, bad products or her appearance.

Her reason is instead a more spiritual one.
Speaking on family's reality TV show The Kardashians on the Thursday (December), Kourtney shared: "I haven’t got Botox in four years to keep my third eye open."
According to Very Well Mind, the 'third eye' refers to an energy centre between your eyebrows in yoga, meditation, or other spiritual practices.
Although it's not based on scientific evidence, 'Opening the third eye' is often suggested as a way to gain insight, deepen intuition, and support mental well-being.
The concept has existed throughout history in spiritual and religious traditions, such as Taoism, Buddhism, and Hinduism, with Buddhists associating the third eye with 'mindfulness and being awakened'.
After Kourtney's revelation, Kim responded with: "Why are you looking at me when you say this?"
To which Kourtney reiterated that she'll 'never get it again' adding that not having it 'helps her intuition'.

Kim, of course, took this opportunity to reveal she got Botox 'two nights ago', to which Kourtney replied: 'Good for you'.
The third eye is also associated with intuition and insight, and clearly The Kardashians star thinks the popular injectables were interfering with hers.
And it's not the first time Kourtney has spoken out about cosmetic surgery, as back in 2021 she hit back at a troll who accused her of getting Botox, a nose job and a Brazilian butt lift.
As per Page Six, a critic commented on a throwback photo of her and her sisters: "Kourtney got plenty of plastic surgery! She just did it in an extremely natural way that still complemented her features instead of [changing] them."
The person then went on to summarise what they think she's had done, suggesting: "Botox, nose job, some sort of butt shot or bbl just to start."
Kourtney reportedly responded with: "No better compliment than a too good to be real kind of compliment. Butt shot and brazilian butt lift, um, thanks. And you were just getting started."
