I'm only 34 but jowls, marionette lines and eye bags are a real family traits and I can see them coming now and its happenening fast. I have no wrinkles and if anything have oily skin so couldn't really turn to older women creams. Is there anything else?

there is a caci facial that involves rollers - it works the muscles around the jaw line to tighten and lift them

champneys and other beauty place do them

you are using an eye cream and wearing sunglasses? eye creams are useful even for youngish skins

Elastic band, under the chin and looped over each ear.

Try IPL or photorejuvenation (its the same thing).
It slightly tightens the skin for the jowls, don't know about the eyebags though and should improve the appearance of fine lines.
Otherwise definetly the filler for the marionette lines if they are quite deep, google 'restylyne' to find out what it is.

The IPL can be quite pricey, so if your skint (like me), try phoning your local college to see if the beauty students do it.
