Kristin Davis is speaking candidly about her experience with fillers and Botox. The _And Just Like That _star, 58, said in a new interview with _The Telegraph_ this week that she has dabbled

with the beauty tools over the years, explaining that "it’s hard to be confronted with your younger self at all times." Admitting that she has had “good and bad” experiences,

Davis — who’s played the role of _Sex and the City's_ Charlotte York since her 30s — also noted that she has "shed tears" after receiving backlash for her decision to use

fillers and Botox. “I’ve had to get them dissolved, and I’ve been ridiculed relentlessly," she told the publication. "And I have shed tears about it. It’s very stressful." The

actress said that she has found it a “challenge” to accept herself getting older, as society encourages women to appear more youthful. “It’s a challenge to remember that you don’t have to

look like that,” Davis explained. “The internet wants you to — but they also don’t want you to. They’re very conflicted.” Davis said she’s also had work done on her lips — though she

admitted the results didn’t turn out as she’d hoped. “No one told me it didn’t look good for the longest time,” she told _The Telegraph_.  “Luckily I do have good friends who did say

eventually — the thing is you don’t smile at yourself in the mirror. Who smiles at themselves in the mirror? Crazy people," Davis continued. _NEVER MISS A STORY — SIGN UP FOR

towards getting fillers — and the criticism tied to it — is much more relaxed. “It’s whatever. I can’t keep it up,” the actress said. “I don’t have time. You’re trusting doctors [but] people

personally blame us when it goes wrong – [as if] I jabbed a needle in my face.” Davis also told the outlet that she no longer works out or has a special diet that she follows, explaining,

“I just eat what the kids are eating”, referring to her daughter Gemma and son Wilson — whom she adopted in 2011 and 2018, respectively.
