Denise Richards Explains Why Her Face Looked Different Last Year

Denise Richards is getting real about skincare. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills multi-hyphenate recently launched a new line of hemp-infused beauty products designed for your daily routine. And while Denise prepares to take the beauty industry by storm, she is also opening up about her history with everything from fillers to Botox and the reason why fans felt she looked different last year. 

Denise chatted with Us Weekly about her debut range called CBMe and dove into her past relationship with skincare. She explained that, despite viewer speculation, she has never done fillers to maintain her youthful glow. Instead, Denise revealed it was a health issue that led to a somewhat altered appearance last season. "Last year I had an issue with my thyroid," she told the outlet. "So I put a little weight on and people thought I had a ton of fillers in my face. I’m like, no, it’s called weight gain.”

Not only has Denise never gotten fillers, but she's also swearing off that other popular Beverly Hills beauty go-to — Botox. "I did try Botox and it wasn’t for me," she said. "I don’t like the way my face feels afterward, but I definitely looked more rested. It made me feel like someone was pushing my forehead down or something."

Now, Denise is all about aging gracefully with the help of her newly launched line and good old-fashioned skincare routines. "I kept my face out of the sun. I was always one that drank a lot of water and my skin’s a bit sensitive. So for me less was always better.” Well played, Denise.
