When did u notice aging skin????

At what age did you start noticing lines in your skin, beginnings of crows feet and laugh lines. I am 23 and I can clearly see where my crows feet are although the lines are faint, there are defined in the skin already. When did u start noticing signs of aging

Are you squinting your eyes? Because if you are, one will definitely see the pronounced lines like what you have on your picture.

But, generally, I heard that once past mid 20's skin starts to age. So you are in your early 20's, so your skin is going to be gradually aging.

In order to retard the aging process, you can use moisturizer on your skin, and maybe even eye creme around your eyes.

it's different for everyone. i'd say between 20 and 30 depending on your lifestyle.
alcohol, smoking, food, the sun, everything affects your skin.

I noticed my first few wrinkles when I was about 20. I'd think most people start to sport a few wrinkles around this time.

hi -- i am 47 years old and was recently carded in a bar. i'm not trying to brag but i will share my secret:

avoid the sun!

my skin had only one wrinkle on the forehead. i attribute it to always protecting my face from the sun. i always wear sunglasses, sunscreen, and try to stay in the shade.

my friends laughed at me when i was a teenager and young adult. i would go to the beach with them and sit with a towel over my head. now they all tell me they wish they had been more like me.

genes do play a big role, too. my dad and grandfather both had skin cancer so i have been extra vigilant.

when i was about 20, my 90 year old aunt told me i had beautiful skin and told me to start using Oil of Olay, which i did and i must admit, i like the way my skin looks.

sunglasses are critical in preventing squinting lines.

just thought i would give my two cents worth!

I noticed lines around my eyes in my early 20's. I smile a lot, so my face scruches up, which I'm sure contributes to the lines. Also, I don't wear sunglasses (they bug me for some reason), so I probably squint a lot, too.

It looks from the picture you posted that you are closing that eye, or at least squinting pretty heavily. The lines in your picture look to be mostly from your face being scrunched up into a certain position.

Noticing lines on your face -- particularly around the eyes and on the forehead -- in your 20's is not unusual at all. There are a lot of factors -- genetics, diet, facial expressions (i.e. the aforementioned squinting, furrowing your brow when worried or concentrating, sun exposure, etc.) that will contribute to the appearance of lines.

If you're worried about it -- which you really shouldn't be, as it's totally normal -- you might check with a dermatologist. He or she might be able to give you some suggestions -- and maybe even some sort of moisturizer or something to keep your skin hydrated.

Oil of Olay....awesome stuff. When people tell me I look younger than I am, I tell them it's all because of Oil of Olay.

I remember my first visible line was a crowsfoot when I was 27.

Botox is your friend!
