Ariana Grande is getting candid about her past experiences with Botox and lip fillers and why she decided to leave them behind.

In a "Beauty Secrets" video for Vogue, published Tuesday, the "Wicked" star, 30, revealed she's "had a ton of lip filler over the years and Botox," which she stopped getting in 2018.

Grande began to tear up as she explained how these treatments made her feel like she was "hiding."

"I, over the years, used makeup as a disguise or as something to hide behind," she said. "That can be so beautiful at times, and I still do have love for it and appreciation for it."

Grande, who got her start acting on Broadway and on Nickelodeon as a child, said being in the spotlight from a young age impacted her relationship with beauty.

"Being exposed to so many voices at a young age and especially when people have things to say about your appearance and stuff at a young age, it's really hard to know what's worth hearing and not," she said. "But when you're 17, you don't know that yet."

Now, Grande said she views beauty as "self-expression" and "accentuating what is here," rather than disguising it.

Ariana Grande speaks out on weight:Why comments on people's bodies should stop

"Our relationships to beauty are so personal. Like, we're here talking about beauty secrets − isn't the secret that we all just want to feel our best and be loved?" she said. "To each their own. Whatever makes you feel beautiful. I do support, but I know for me I was just like, 'Oh, I want to see my well-earned cry lines and smile lines. I hope my smile lines get deeper and deeper and I laugh more and more, and I just think aging can be such a beautiful thing."

She added: "Now, might I get a facelift in 10 years? Might, yeah. But these are just thoughts that I feel like we should be able to discuss."

Grande has spoken out about beauty standards in the past, urging her fans in a TikTok video in April to not comment on other people's bodies after she came under scrutiny for her weight.

"I think we should be gentler and less comfortable commenting on people's bodies no matter what," Grande said. "There are ways to compliment someone, or to ignore something that you see that you don’t like, that I think we should help each other work towards. We should aim toward being safer and keeping each other safer."
