Fine lines already! WDF!

So i'm only 25 and i've already noticed fine lines around my eyes forming in the crows feet area, and the lines that were around my eye bags deeping.
Its so depressing...i wasn't expecting this to happen for at least another 10 years!
I have very pale skin and always stay out the sun and use factor 50. I don't smoke or drink either.
My mum has hardly any wrinkles and is 53 and does all of the above. :(
My skins just starting to recover froma massive stress caused break out, so i'm scarred, spotty and wrinkly.
I feel i look disgusting. Is there anything i can do, anything at all?

I'm sure you're not wrinkly at all, don't worry. Maybe you're just a bit tired if you've had a stressful time of it lately. Just be kind to yourself and try to drink more water and get more sleep and get out for a brisk walk whenever possible.

I totally understand that 'help I look hideous' panic but I bet you're being way too hard on yourself. If you're 25 and don't smoke, drink or sunbathe...you're fine :)

Hmm, don't panic, it sounds like dehydration and stress. Are you drinking enough and moisturising enough? Try a serum or face oil under your moisturiser. It depends what skin type you are as to which would be best for you.

If you are wanting to fight fine lines, Avene Ystheal cream is brilliant (in Boots). It is a milder form of retin-A which works for anti-aging. You do need to keep up with the suncream during the day even in winter.

Thank you for your replies.
I moisturise a lot because i'm prone to very dry skin; every morning and evening.
I also do a lot of exercise ( which is what i think helped clear my skin). It sucks when people like my mum do no skincare and crisp in the sun and everyone thinks shes 10 years younger!

I will check out the cream naice thank you.

My mum is the same, she has great bone structure which I think helps too. It honestly sounds like you are doing all the right things!

The Avene cream is on 3 for 2 I think. You only need to use it at night and I would start off using it every other night to begin with (as your skin needs to get used to it, can get a bit sensitive if you haven't used it before).
