Episode Synopsis
💉 Should we get Botox? In this episode of English and Beyond: Intermediate English Podcast, I'm going to be talking about the pressure to look young in modern society - from cosmetic treatments like Botox and fillers to our complicated relationships with beauty, ageing, and self-worth.What starts as a personal story - a cancelled holiday, a walk on the beach, and a visit to the dentist - becomes a wider reflection on beauty standards, body image, and why so many people (and even camels!) are turning to cosmetic treatments.Whether you're in your 30s, 40s, 50s or beyond, this episode is for you if you've ever looked in the mirror and wondered: Should I be doing something about this?!This episode is perfect for learners who want to improve their English listening skills while thinking about real, relatable topics like ageing, insecurity, and the beauty industry.
