Possum….you “earned” every wrinkle. Wrinkles are not bad..heck no! What drives me to distraction is the ever increasing amount of hair on my face. Good GOD I think..when the heck did that start! Laughing…
Use a good facial scrub, back that up with a good facial mask and a good moisturizer. Microderm-abrasion is also something I am going to look into.
And RELAX……you are not getting older..just better!

Well, at least you’re not me. I have ALWAYS taken great care of my skin (lots of water, sunscreen, and no tanning), but I am still wrinkling early because of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.
Try getting some anti-wrinkle lotion….it will help prevent future wrinkles, and the ones you have probably aren’t as noticeable as you think!

Take off your magnifying glasses.
Put on a smile.
And live your life to the fullest.
You (and I) are best off to leave the worrying to things bigger and badder than ourselves.
At your age my main problem was living through all the menopause symptoms. Hot flashes, night sweats, depression, and wacky hormonal emotions.
Age another 10 years and life turns rosy again.

I’m only 20 and I worry!
I think certain make up is good to use. I actually am
(believe it or not) prematurely aging. My neck looks pretty old compared to my age. And I have fine lines around my mouth.
*sigh*
I would recommend water, water and lots and lots of water, water, water. Consuming water will hydrate your skin cells. That’s what I started to do once I got a little self concious about my skin. Although people seem to think I’m 16… I really don’t see
how as I’m kind of lined up?? Huh.. it could be my imagination.
I stick with drinking lots of water daily and moisturizing everyday… usually before I sleep. Good luck girly!
**Make up can sometimes increase the look of lines. Especially around the mouth because the makeup will dry in them and be more apparent. So if your skin isn’t oily you may want to try a liquid base makeup. I think loreal has a nice line for that. They had Susan Surrandon addvertise for it.
It’s created for mature skin.

I’m 58 and look 40. The secret is good nutrition, eating foods high in antioxidants. I’ve also been taking vitamins C and E most of my adult life.

I’m only 36 and not doing well with this! Get little non-invasive procedures, such as botox, filler, laser resurfacing, etc…it helps without changing your look
