How old were you when you started to notice face wrinkles?

I'm 42 this month and I feel like in the last two years my under eye lines have made me go from looking like a 33 year old to a 65 year old. They're just awful. So many lines. Is there a type of botox for under the eyes? Grateful to be ageing but let's be honest it's depressing too. I have zero forehead lines but oh man the eyes!

About 50 for wrinkles. I had a bit of Botox and it kept me looking fresher until about 55-60.
Beyond help now I’m 67. Plenty of wrinkles plus the Deputy Dawg droopy jowls.

Late 20s. I'm baffled by people saying their 40s.
Yes, they became more visible from my 40s, but I had lines around my eyes in late twenties and the beginning of lines just in the centre of my forehead.

THIS. I have never seen a thirty year old without any lines or eye creases! I was about 27 when I noticed some fine lines sticking around. Then around 30 I noticed my face starting to sag.
I drink loads of water, always wear factor 50 every day, eat healthily etc.

Yes, you can have lines under your eyes done. It doesn’t eradicate them but makes them much softer. I would only recommend a Dr perform this though.

I’m 42 and don’t have any eye wrinkles/lines
faint 11 ones yes but nothing around my eyes

I’m 59 and still don’t have any noticeable wrinkles on my face but my neck is getting a little bit crepey. My skin has always been on the oily side which I think may explain the lack of lines. My mum had fantastic skin. Barely a wrinkle until her mid seventies. She still looked her age though, as do I. I have a fair bit of pigmentation from stupidly sunbathing abroad in my twenties. My hair is undyed and completely grey, so my lack of wrinkles is irrelevant when it comes to how I’m perceived. Do I care? Nah😆

Even when you smile? The skin around your eyes doesn't crease?

Only like it did as a child where your skin moves a bit the same as around your mouth when you smile but no crows feet or anything
