I have a really deep groove between my eyebrows, and every other thing you mention. Most noticeable since I hit 40, now 45 and getting worse.

AnnabelCaramel · 11/02/2008 10:41

Mid 30s and no, but I do have a chubby face however slim the rest of me is.

Slouchy · 11/02/2008 10:41

Crow feet =- y
Nose to mouth = n
Frown lines = y
Forehead lines = y

Am 35. None are bad yet, but I see them.
Was a teacher through my 20s - sure that has made them worse cos of looking cross/stern such a lot of the time.

MrsMattie · 11/02/2008 10:42

I'm 31 next month.

Beginnings of lines around eyes. I've got one weird deep line underneath my left eye.

Nose to mouth - yes. I've got very big pouty lips, so I've always had that, though.

Frown lines - very faint.

Forehead lines - yes, but I've had the same ones (not very deep, but noticeable) since I was in my late teens and they haven't got much worse since then.

People say my skin is great for my age, but I can see the signs of damage. I smoked heavily all through my teens & 20s. Not good for the complexion.

flowerybeanbag · 11/02/2008 10:46

I'm almost 32.

Just starting to get a weeny bit of crow's feet, and there are a few very tiny lines under my eyes as well, where they crinkle when I smile.

There are slight indentations from my nose which don't reach down to my mouth yet. I've never smoked which I think helps, when I look at people who do/have.

Bluebutterfly · 11/02/2008 10:46

I am 32 this month and I have

laughter lines (I refuse to call them crows feet )

I have faint nose to mouth lines.

Light forehead lines (I am fearful that they will deepen)

Yesterday when I woke up I had a weird line going down my cheek that didn't even disappear during my shower - it was from my pillow and it took about 2 hours to fade! Is that what age does to your skin?

Hassled · 11/02/2008 10:47

I wa fine till around 35 - looked pretty much the same as I did at 25. Then it all went pear shaped - now I'm 41 and am starting to look like WH Auden .

TheHonEnid · 11/02/2008 10:48

yes fine lines round eyes and on forehead

deepish one between eyebrows

noe nthat bad, well they dont really bother me

am 41

PotPourri · 11/02/2008 10:48

I'm 31 and had laughter lines when I was 15! Had lovely skin though, unless pregnant when it was a bit ropey. And then when I turned 30 it all went downhill. Now got crows feet, frown line between eyebrows and on head. I think it is to do with lack of sleep as I generally eat ok and don't smoke. I do need to drink more water though.....

Fine lines at crows' feet and forehead - only really appear properly when I smile or frown though. But I am getting that nose-to-mouth line, which I wouldn't mind except it is deeper on one side which looks odd, and also it makes me look exactly like my mum

Apart from that though I don't mind wrinkles, in themselves.

Bink · 11/02/2008 10:54

45
dh has just at my request (my eyes are where my age shows most) put some nice bright lights in the bathroom & I gave myself a complete shock when doing some flossing - you know how you twist up your cheek to get access & SUDDENLY there were these striations going all the way from my nose, round my eyes, to my ear - an elaborate frill of miniature lines.

I don't have any deep lines though, & the frilly lines don't seem to show the rest of the time. Well when I don't have my specs on they don't

I don't have nose->mouth lines; I do have forehead lines I think. I tend to be a bit frowny all the time though, so I don't know if they're lines or just, you know, a frown.

hoarsewhisperer · 11/02/2008 11:39

Nose to mouth lines - no
Crows feet - no
Frown lines on forehead - yes
Wrinkles between eyes - no
Some fine dryness lines under my right eye only..

I'm 36

widgypog · 11/02/2008 12:57

i am 33 and have laughter lines when I laugh but nothing else. My forehead looks like I have had botox it is so smooth v strange.I fear it will catch me soon though.

Anna8888 · 11/02/2008 13:01

41

Crows' feet - yes, when I smile, but not if my face is at rest.

Nose to mouth - no

Frown lines - very slightly

Forehead - yes, definitely, have had them for ages (feels like I was born with them )

widgypog · 11/02/2008 13:04

I might add I have used oil of ulay since I was 17 and use the eye serum and anti wrinkle cream day and night so that may have something to do with it.

mumfor1standfinaltime · 11/02/2008 13:06

I am 30, no serious lines yet, just some lines when I smile!

OrmIrian · 11/02/2008 13:07

I have all of those. I'm 43. But I don't care that much. I still think I look better than I ever did when young and unlined.

DontCallMeBaby · 11/02/2008 13:12

Just been to check in the mirror, now I have a great big glass of water next to me! I have fairly fine, superficial forehead lines, laughter and frown lines. But it's only in the last couple of years that I've realised ageing is rarely just the superimposition of 'character' lines onto your otherwise flawless skin. So the non-lined skin is beginning to look a bit, well, old. I'm 35.

Still, good that I had to look in the mirror, rather than just going 'yes, I have hundreds of lines'!

WelliesAndPyjamas · 11/02/2008 13:16

I'm almost 32

Crows Feet - no, but I have some little lines under my eyes/top of my cheeks when I smile now. I quite like them actually.
Those lines from nose to mouth - no
Frown lines - I've got one strong line between my eyebrows that I have had since living in a very sunny country for five years (all the squinting). Or that's my theory, anyway.
Forehead lines - no

Platino · 11/02/2008 13:18

Crows feet - not yet
those line from noseto mouth - one on my left cheek
frown lines - not yet
forehead lines - just coming through

  1. They are not too bad.
needmorecoffee · 11/02/2008 13:22

none yet. I went and grinned in the mirror to see! I'll be 40 in July.

needmorecoffee · 11/02/2008 13:24

skin is getting dry though. It just doesn't feel the same as ten years ago.

chocolateshoes · 11/02/2008 13:25

Caught sight of my relection in the car window yesterday & thought I looked suddenly really old with lines everywhere. Mind you DS had been very difficult to get up & out. I prefer to use the mirror in our dimly lit hallway where I have no lines but having just checked with proper lighting I have faint laughter lines and nose to mouth lines & that's it - I'm 38
