Inside Candace Cameron Bure's Botox Journey And The Pressure To Stay Ageless In Hollywood
Turning 50 on Monday, April 6, Candace Cameron Bure owns her birthday era, opening up to Us Weekly about aging in the spotlight and revealing she tried Botox once—and loved it.
Candace Cameron Bure just hit the big 5-0, and she seems genuinely happy about it. Ahead of her Monday, April 6 birthday, the actress and podcast host walked through what she is (and isn’t) doing to her face, how she thinks about aging under a spotlight, and why her workouts have gone from solid to full-on mission mode.
What she is actually doing
- Botox: she tried it once and liked the results, but she hasn’t gone back for more.
- Laser: she recently gifted herself a laser treatment to target melasma and other dark spots. It’s an ongoing thing, but she says she is already seeing fewer spots and smoother skin, to the point where her pores basically look MIA.
"I don’t think I feel pressure, but I want to age as beautifully as I can. Whether that’s completely natural or it’s with the help of a doctor or lasers, I don’t know. I just take one day at a time."
The vibe on aging in Hollywood
She told Us Weekly she isn’t crushed by the usual Hollywood beauty pressure. The plan is simple: stay mostly natural, be open to a little help when it actually helps, and keep it moving. The laser seems to be the current MVP — she joked she is only now wondering where it has been all her life.
The Michelle Pfeiffer detour (that needs a quick translation)
Bure said she was watching a show she called The Madison, starring Michelle Pfeiffer, and loved seeing an icon look stunning, wrinkles and all. Quick sidebar: I can’t find a Pfeiffer show literally called The Madison, so odds are she meant another Pfeiffer project. Point stands — Bure is into beauty that doesn’t look overworked. She also shouts out her mom, who has never had anything done and, in Bure’s words, is still beautiful. That’s the north star.
Fitness: cranking it up for 50
On the body side, she has been on a steady fitness grind for a while, but the last year and a half she kicked it up specifically to enter 50 feeling better than ever. It’s not just lifting and cardio — she is deep into understanding perimenopause and menopause, happy there are finally more books, info, and honest conversations out there. The goal is longevity, not a quick before-and-after.
So, where she lands right now: a little Botox once, lasers for stubborn dark spots, a lot of sweat equity, and zero panic about the number. Feels refreshingly sane, honestly.
