At what age did you....
start worrying about and using products for wrinkles and the prevention of them?
I'm turing 25 this year and think it's time!
Re: At what age did you....
I think I was maybe 19 or 20... My goal was prevention.

Around 26ish I started using an AHA moisturizer at night -good for removing dead skin, exfoliating. Moisturized skin in general I think helps prevent wrinkles.
I don't use like eye cream or anything like that yet and not sure if I will.
I also started getting facials more in my late 20s.
In college.
I'm now 32 and I'm really glad. I guess I'll never know if it is because I was good about prevention or just have good genes, but I have a lot fewer lines than most of my friends who are around my age or younger.
I started wearing a daily moisturizer with SPF 15 when I was 13. I started using eye cream & night cream when I was 23, and anti-aging when I turned 30.
I wear moisturizer & sunscreen religiously, but I was a smoker for 15 years, so I have some damage to reverse, if I can.
This.
I'm 32 now and just started using an eye cream, but I'm always forgetting to put it on, so I doubt it's really doing much for me.
I will be 32 in May. I've used a moisturizer daily since high school. Around 19, I began using eye cream. My parents always stressed the importance of skin-care, especially preventative, at a young age. Not only for the face, but for hands too.
I started using moisturizer every single day when I was 13. I never tan and don't smoke. I have combination skin. I am about to turn 30 and I don't have a single wrinkle. I also try to drink a lot of water.
Honestly, stay away from the sun, use SPF (even if you avoid the sun) and moisturize every day. That's the best prevention.
I'm 33. I started using Retin A in my mid 20s for an acne issue. It wasn't until i was 30 that I realized you can use it for anti-aging as well.That's about all I do besides sunblock, but with the skin cancer risk, that outweighs my concern over getting wrinkles.
25
I got serious and started using moisturizer with retinol religiously at 30.
I was a teen when I started religiously wearing moisturizer with spf in it.
I was watching Oprah one day after school and Joan Collins was on. Oprah said something to her about her skin looking so good for her age and she said she's been wearing spf daily forever. I went out and bought my first bottle of oil of olay with spf shortly after that.
Wrinkles and eye creams were probably mid-20s, but I haven't really been religious about it until a few years ago, late 20s.

Run to CVS ... really fast .... now .....any buy some arthritis cream ... hurry ..LOL!
This just cracked me up! At least you are honest.....love it!
Pffffft I'm 30 and still fighting acne - wrinkles are pretty low on my list of concerns. It's just handy that retinols treat both acne and signs of aging.
I have worn sunscreen for years though, mostly b/c my dad and his sister look like leather and I don't want to look like that.
I started using an eye cream at 29, other anti-aging products around my late 30's. I tanned a lot in my early 20's, unfortunately (I worked at a tanning salon). Luckily I have good genes because my biggest worry right now at 42 isn't wrinkles, but age spots. At least age spots can be covered up and possibly lightened (still looking for that miracle product). I also got really serious about skincare in my 30's, which I hadn't really cared much about in my 20's.
My mom never really did much in the way of skincare (use to clean her face with Noxema and moisturize with Oil of Olay), so I wasn't taught to take care of my skin.
Ditto. I'm in my 30s and don't think about it.
