We were at the busstop the other day and i checked myself in the side mirror of the truck and saw tons of tiny wrinkles!?

I never noticed them in the bathroom mirror, guess I don't stand close enough, but wow they were popping out at me in the daylight! I know my skin has been dry this winter and I have been trying to drink more water lately, but what's a girl to do? I'll be 37 in June.

Do you use anything on your face? Maybe I need a new kind of makeup?

Welcome to the age of relating to a lot more TV commercials. "Oh, that's what they were talking about!" LOL

Guess I'm lucky.
I do have some wrinkles but not too many.
I use Dove soap and a little bit of moisturizer on my face and that's all I have ever used.
Haven't worn make-up in years, altho I probably should.
I'll be 62 in June.
Don't feel like it, don't act like it, and don't look like it!

I noticed a few laugh lines in my face recently. Especially near my dimples.

So, when I was visiting my mother earlier this month, I asked her what she uses, and gave me this cream from clinque called "Total Turnaround Visible Skin Renewer". Clinique | Skin Care | Anti-Aging | Total Turnaround Visible Skin Renewer

I love it! My skin feels firmer after just one week.

I have one word for you: SUNSCREEN

Unfortunately, most of the sun exposure that causes wrinkles occured in your childhood. But, it is still a good idea to use sunscreen no matter what your age. I use something by Neutrogena, and I love it. Not greasy and I don't even notice it's there. I do feel "naked" if I don't have it on, tho. If you do go that route, be sure to "google" it, I know there are certain things you definitely WANT in your sunscreen.

HTH.

You need a sunscreen every day but make sure they protect against both UVA and UVB rays. Also moisturize, even if you have oily skin there are many out there on the market for oily skin.

I have noticed laugh lines and I have a bday tomorrow so it's making me feel old! I use spf 30 daily and moisterizer but it's just a fact of life for me. Wrinkles run in my family I know a friend who's 80 year old grandma looks 60 because she doesn't have a lot of wrinkles. I'm jealous. I want those genes

Exfoliate!!!!! It does a lot more to prevent and diminish fine lines than moisturizer can possibly do. I use the one by Derma e but there are a lot of good ones.

At 15 your skin turns over constantly, by 20 it has slowed down and takes about 3 days to renew by 30 7 days and by 40s or 50s it starts taking 3 weeks to completely replenish newer skin. Exfoliation speeds up that process removing older dead skin and producing newer, fresher skin that is not as likely to wrinkle. The faster turnover also increases the production of elastin, collagen etc

Most creams are moisturizers, which are necessary but really don’t do much but keep moisture on your skin. Some serums and actives actually do help though. Copper Peptides, Vitamin C etc. Vitamin C serums are wonderful especially for the eye area.

PS... A fuller Brow will make you look younger, do NOT pluck your brows too much.....I also love the Anastasia Brow Express, it's very natural looking and comes with "stencils".

I remember vividly the day I first noticed wrinkles...it was younger than 37 though because it was the reflection in my sunglasses and I could see the tiny ones around my eyes. ARGH! Of course I wouldn't even notice those tiny lines in the reflection of my glasses now.........I can't see up that close!!!!!!!

Do any of you think that a lot has to do with the climate where you live? ... I've lived in the desert for most of my life and also got wrinkles early (before 40). My grandmother who is 87 has very few wrinkles and lives by the ocean in California. She also tells me to use the blue can of Nivea but I still think that a lot has to do with the humidity where she lives.
