Lines around your eyes? Laughter lines that are there all the time. I've just noticed this week that I have two faint lines fanning out from the outer corner of my eyes. I'm 42Sad
I have slightly less faint forehead lines and frown lines thanks to a very expressive face but the eye lines are new.

None around my eyes yet (33 this year), but when DD was 4, she drew a very detailed picture of me at nursery. We were talking about it and I said 'oh DD I love the tiara you've drawn on my head'.
She piped up 'that's not a tiara silly, it's the pretty lines on your head'. That was the first time I realised you can see how wrinkly my forehead is when I've got my fringe clipped up. I was 24 Shock

Just tried to take a photo and they don't really show up on the camera as difficult to get a good shot without identifying myself. The photos have illuminated how many freckles I have though!! Cripes. I'm covered. Must be the sun today that's brought them out.

No lines around my eyes yet (just the thundering great big black circles that blight even the children in my family. I have baby photos where I closely resemble a panda)

But I was around 24 when I noticed smile lines around my mouth. Strangely coinciding with the year from hell that was ds's first 12 months. I aged about five years in that year. Haven't aged very much since.

About 30, fine, dehydration type ones. I’m my 40’s now and they’ve steadily increased. I wear glasses and squint a lot. I’m also a shift worker and have very fair, thin skin, so it was inevitable that i’d end up with lines fairly early.

I do wear spf and have used retinol for 10+ years. I think it’s partly down to my skin type and my squinty nature.

I'm 37 and have a couple of little lines at the outside corners of my eyes but they're not all that noticeable unless I'm squinting!

I’m 47 and none yet. But that’s because I’m super bitchy and a smile rarely makes it past my gritted teeth........

I don't have much hope for my skin as I age.
