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.

I have loads! I’m 38 but theyve been there forever!

Mine aren't too bad there but I get rid of my forehead ones with wonderful botox

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.

Picklypickles · 28/03/2019 17:05

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!

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 28/03/2019 17:09

I’m 47 and none yet. But that’s because I’m super bitchy and a smile rarely makes it past my gritted teeth........
Not really Grin

27 Hmm

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