to abuse AIBU to ask when you got your first wrinkles?

[HauntedArmchairOfDoom]

Yes yes, this is not an AIBU, but I can't find sodding chat on my effing phone.

When did you get your first wrinkles? Just seen mine and I'm only 33

I've had tiny tiny laughter lines when I grin for about three or four years, but I've just spotted two long fine lines across my forehead from where my skin crinkles when I raise my eyebrows which a do A LOT, evidently

It's like I've just seen my future and I dunlike it. So what about you lot - when did your first.proper wrinkles show up? Am I early? And how much is Botox these days?

I think my lines between my eyes came in my early 20's. The rest of the face was fine until my early 30's. I began botox at 31 and am 43 now and am so glad i did.

I have nice skin but it's very dry so wrinkles quickly.

I have a Doctor that does the work for me. I would not let a beautician or 'nurse' etc do it.

I can spot bad botox a mile off. Shiny stretched forehead, spock eyebrows, lack of symmetry etc. It's important to get someone who knows what they're doing. My Doctor spends an hour and does many small injections rather than fewer bigger ones.

It costs about ?400, three times a year.

I am 31 and don't have any lies

I have some around my mouth with don't disappear any more. I blame smoking, though I did quit when I was 24 after reading an article about how aging smoking is for your skin (clearly all the messages on emphysema, lung cancer, death etc. didn't get through, but the threat of wrinkles did ). Those have been sticking the last few months. It is the one advantage of living in the UK with limited sun exposure - friends from where I grew up but left in my late teens (South Africa) do have more and look older than me, which I think is largely down to sun exposure.

For grey hairs - got my first around 23, and every now and then (when I'm going through a stressful time) more appear. My mother has taken to naming grey hairs after the people who cause them. My approach is to get my hair dyed (somewhere expensive) and present the people who caused them with the bill. I know who is responsible and I'm out to get you

Most of my friends aged 18/19 (and me) have fine lines under their eyes. Not just the kind that babies have, but proper ones when you smile. You can't see it from a foot away. So if that's the kind of wrinkle you're talking about......even peachy skinned teenagers get them!

My forehead's always been a disaster area, spots, now just not very nice skin. At least I won't care that much when I'm 50 and it starts to get saggy!

i am 52, i have a few small laughter lines around my eyes, generally no other wrinkles, but my skin has definately lost its "youthfull" look, especially after a late night or when busy time/long hours at work.

I have crinkles but not yet wrinkles! I am another eye brow rsiser, though actually it's more like the natural position of my eyebrows is to be raised. I have to concentrate to keep them in normal position.

Forgot to say, I am thirty.

I have laughter lines and faint lines about my mouth and on my forehead and on my neck. I also have a fairly deep frown line between my brows. Have had for a while

I'm 37. It happens

I always lie on my left side in bed so my face gets squashed all night.

I'm 35 and have none apart from a very faint 11 because am a moody cow who frowns a lot

I have found grey hairs though which I'm not happy about!

I'm 33 too and my eyes look like an elephant's scrotum.

Can't get that worked up about it though.

Compo

I've had fine lines around my eyes since my late 20s? I smile and laugh a lot, and generally have a very mobile face despite my best efforts to master a stony supermodel demeanour. Now at 35 I've got a few lines at the sides of my mouth too, but the thing is even the ones round my eyes aren't that much deeper than they were when I first noticed them several years ago, and to be honest none of them bother me much. I think my skin's alright otherwise.

I have some and I am 23

Reading this thread, everyone seems to have lines around their eyes from smiling, mine are all on my forehead, so I must be a right miserable bastard.

None yet. Am 40. Being overweight does have some perks!

I'm a few years younger than you and have forehead lines. I have always loved getting a tan though so only have myself to blame. I'm thinking of trying Botox.

I don't have wrinkles but I do have a few lines around my eyes. I'm 38 and think I've earned the right to a few lines on my face especially after all I've had to deal with in the last few years!

I had none until I was 39. I had DS when I was 39 and then developed lines around my eyes which can be seen very clearly when I smile. I also lost about 1 stone compared to pre-pregnancy and was a size 10 then.

I look younger than 40 but have lots of greys all of a sudden.

I have never smoked and never drink alcohol, never rally had a tan. Secret however, I fear, are the genes. Sleep and plenty of water helps. Also, some wrinkles are quite attractive, show we have lived a little. Will not have Botox but think women should do what makes them feel good.

never really had a tan - sorry typo.

My MIL never worked after she married and did lots of gardening and horsey stuff, plus masses of foreign holidays .She is lovely but has skin like an old leather boot.My DM worked full time indoors ,took one holiday a year if she was lucky and although 10 years older has far better skin and a LOT less wrinkles.Just shows.
I work outdoors and am fanatical about creaming up.In my early 50s now and get told I look a lot younger and not many wrinkles but I hate ,hate hate the cats bum lines developing around my mouth.Too many times being pensive.I wrinkle my mouth when thinking and too many AIBU ? moments I guess!

I started getting wrinkles at around 33. Now I'm botoxed and dermal filled up to the hilt ! Have no idea what I really look like? DH says with all the chemicals and shit in my body he'll have to dump in a far away landfill when I depart as I'm too toxic for sacred ground .

None here at 40.

But, as they say, 'black don't crack'

I goy forehead lines in late 20s and in early 30s now although they haven't got any worse. I am a major eyebrow wiggler though. And there are slight lines around the eyes if i grin but I think it's only me that sees them.
I got sodding grey hairs in my early 20s though and now they're everywhere. I used to dye my hair because it was fun. Now I have to.
