Ok, yeah this is me too. My dentist wants to fill all of my molars because I've ground them to nothingness already.

A lot of it is all genetics. Look at your mom and there ya go. My mom is 70. I can remember when she was 50 and she just had a few lines and no gray. I am praying that gene breed true.

I am 35. I have not started to wrinkle yet. I do have a couple gray hairs after this last child though. I swear it was the stress. I personally have started using coconut oil on my face and I see a huge difference as far as skin quality. Smells yummy too. Its hard not wanting coconut macaroons afterwards but anyway.

Now if only my knees felt as young as my hair looks. lol sigh I do agree getting old is hard.

You dont have wrinkles those are scowl lines. When you concentrate on something you furrow your forehead pulling your eyebrows down. Put lotion there and try not to do that it will help. I am 51 and I dont have hardly any wrinkles I dont go in the sun without sunscreen. I am very fair and all I do is burn, so no sun for me. I do have graying hair though but only on one side that must be my stressor side.

I started noticing eyeline wrinkles in my mid 20's (30 now.) Was bummed at first, but ya know what, it's just not worth worrying about (that'll just make more wrinkles!) There's even a country song about it -

those are wrinkles, ain't nothin' to be scared of
they're just a product of time and true love
some are gonna come and go
some are gonna come and stay
you're still young, gonna be ok

Clenching and scowling is habit, you'll have to make a new habit of not scowling and clenching! may take a little time, but better than shooting poison into your skin

I turned 49 today and I have crows feet and some very fine lines, but they are not that noticeable to anyone else but me. My mom still looks like she is 50 and she's 69.

Happy Birthday! I look younger but boy at 54 ya know you're wrinkled. You could try taping your scowl lines at night! Actually, if, at 22 I could afford botox just for those lines, I would probably do it - it may save you from developing deep lines that are harder to eradicate. Here is some unasked for but well meant and valid advice - don't smoke and use sunscreen.

I'm 38 - no wrinkles, yet. Wrinkles are mostly a combination of genetics and environment (most things are). You cannot really do anything about your genetics, but you can do lots with your environment.

Here's the secret - MOISTURIZE with a good lotion in the night and day, use a rose toner or similar to clean your face at night (don't use soap more than once a day), drink plenty of water, wear sunscreen and hats. Wear very little makeup (all those chemicals do their damage, too). Depending on your skin type, add a clay mask or scrub to your regime each week - I do mine in the tub (moist heat is great for the skin).

You'll look lovely, with or without wrinkles. Botox is nasty stuff, do not get involved in that slow descent into Vanity Hell.

37 and no wrinkles yet. Just a bit of lines on my forehead (from raised eyebrows, scowls, squinting, whatever...)

I'm commonly mistaken for ten years younger, though.

Ok I need to say this. Wrinkles are a fact of life. The joy you experience in this life does not come from not having wrinkles. Or grey hair. The joy this life brings is the accomplishments you may encounter, the people who bring you smiles and love, animals that make you smile, and bringing joy to others.

After the age of 25 people start aging. Everything heads south slowly. There are things you can do about it, but wouldn't that $10,000 be better spent somewhere else? And for goodness sake, if you die an un-natural death, and they have to exume you someday, do you really want them to find big boobs and a firm butt and nothing else???
