AN INFLUENCER has revealed she’s spending a whopping £50,000 a MONTH in a bid to keep the ageing process at bay.
Ju Isen, a 39-year-old model from Brazil who boasts over 2.6 million followers on Instagram, estimates she’s spent tens of thousands of pounds on beauty treatments.
And she’s even experimented with the more unusual beauty hacks, including enzyme treatments derived from salmon, which claim to “stimulate collagen production”.
But Ju insisted she’d rather pay out for the pricey treatments, as ageing is “not an option” for her.
“Time is relentless, but I do everything I can to face it,” she sighed.
“I look in the mirror and don’t want to see time passing.

“It terrifies me. So I do everything I can to fight it.”
Among the other wrinkle-busting treatments she’s tried is a Japanese face cream made from nightingale droppings, which is said to “rejuvenate the skin”.
“The methods are eccentric, but the results speak for themselves,” she told NeedtoKnow.
“I don’t spare any effort when it comes to taking care of myself.”
She also likes to invest in treatments such as vitamin and antioxidant infusion therapy, facial harmonisation ‘to smooth expression lines”, and fillers to “define” her features.
In addition, Ju follows a strict diet, and sticks to a rigorous fitness regime.
“My body is my brand, my work tool,” she said.
“I invest in it because it gives me confidence and happiness.”
She’s also gone under the knife more than a few times – having more than 40 plastic surgeries including boob jobs, liposuction on her arms and hyaluronic acid injections in her face.
While the post-surgery bruises are “shocking”, she said that the results are worth it.
“Investing in me is a way of taking care of myself and my self-esteem,” Ju insisted.
“It’s not just vanity – it’s about how I feel.
Why is fermented rice water an anti-ageing powerhouse?
Fermented rice water has gained popularity in skincare for its cheap – but wildly effective – benefits.
- It is is packed with vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants – including vitamins B, C, and E – which help promote a healthy, radiant complexion
- The fermentation process produces enzymes that enhance rice water’s ability to lighten dark spots and banish hyperpigmentation
- The cooling and anti-inflammatory properties of fermented rice water can help calm irritated or sensitive skin, which is particularly beneficial for conditions like eczema, acne, and sunburn
- Regular use of fermented rice water can lead to smoother, softer skin by promoting gentle exfoliation. The natural acids formed during fermentation help to remove dead skin cells, revealing a fresher layer of skin
- It is also known to promote cell regeneration, which can help heal scars and improve the overall appearance of the skin
“I want to show that it’s possible to challenge time and live with energy and vitality.”
And when it comes to the future, Ju said she’ll always be open to trying new beauty treatments.
“If something more eccentric comes along, I’ll try it,” she smiled.
“The future of beauty is infinite, and I’m ready to discover everything it has to offer.”
