I've noticed a few wrinkles around my eyes. Im worried that it will go down hill from here....

I saw the roller ball thingy by garnier and was wondering if its any good?

Also was wondering if there is anything else I should try? Or if you have any tips? I'm only 25 so don't want to be covered in wrinkles by the time I'm 30.... Help...

Nothing...nature! you cant buy anything. Healthy lifestyle is the only thing that can help.

I use clinique cityblock on my face and eyes, no wrinkles at 34. Sunlight really ages some people.

Ahahahahaha. The first few wrinkles! You are worrying about the first few wrinkles.

Forget them. You are 25, and doubtless gorgeous. Stop obsessing about what you've seen in your x12 magnifying mirror. Get out and grab the most from life while you can.

I know. I've not been much help...

drink more wine, that'll improve a) whether you can see them, b) whether you care.

Yes, sunblock is the only thing that will prevent further wrinkles. The sun is what causes ageing. Not necessarily baking yourself in tropical heat (although that will make you look like a leather handbag, for sure) but just daily exposure. Do you wear a sunscreen every day? If not, pick yourself a moisturiser with SPF and also a foundation. Wear them every day to protect your skin from the sun.

Clinique Total Turnaround is quite good for small, insignificant startings of wrinkles IMO.

Get thee to Aldi and look at their skincare range. Cheap as chips and really very, very good. It's won awards.

Thank you all for your replies... I'm not too worried about the little wrinkles I'm thinking about preventing the bigger ones...

I think the sun protection is a good idea...

It's not just the sun though, is it? It's having expressions. YOu can't prevent them unless you stop laughing. Forever. I do love that quote about Mick Jagger's laughter lines though - "Nothing's that funny"

Don't forget to sunblock your neck and upper chest either. These get at least as much sun as the face, and are one of the first areas where skin loses texture.

I agree, sunscreen is the way to go. I wear sunglasses a lot as well (partly because I get headaches from the glare on bright days) which stops you squinting so much.

You are going to get some wrinkles as you get older though, regardless of what you do, and your appearance is going to change with age, you might as well make peace with that fact!

I know I will get wrinkles, but just didn't expect them so soon...

I have thought about not laughing ever again, but its just too difficult... Lol
