“For me, it was just more of my comfort level. If I worked off camera, I would not wash my hair with regularity or wear makeup but when I started to see things that I didn’t like, I thought, well, the next turtleneck is going to have two eye holes,” Kelly Ripa joked to People. “I’m not saying you should let people bully you into cosmetic procedures. These are my choices for me.”

Kelly graces the latest issue of People, on newsstands this week. On the cover, she wears a pastel angora sweater and a huge smile on her face.

Kelly wants to keep that candid conversation going with her fans. She admitted that she’s done her research over the years and decided to find who’s the best when it comes to Botox.

“Meanwhile, there are procedures that people have done. And then once you start talking about what you’re having done, people become very open about what they’re having done and then you start trading doctors,” Kelly Ripa explained. “Then, you know, at the end of the book, I put in all my doctors so that people can reach out to them if they want.”

Most of them are based in the “New York area.” Kelly considers it a gift to her fans. She felt that she should at least share that information with them. What are your thoughts on Kelly Ripa’s Botox confessions? Sound off below in the comment section.
