What age did you start using ant-ageing creams?

I'm 24 and I've just become aware that No7 do a Protect and Perfect range for 25-35 year olds, and I plan to order this later on today as I got a free sample of the day cream and I do love it, but at what age did you start using face creams?

I've no idea what age my mum started but she loves face creams, has all kinds in her bathroom, and she has great youthful looking skin.

I was almost 30 before I started using moisturisers. Now I'm 37 and still only use basic moisturisers.

i started at around 26 when i noticed a fine line on the side of my mouth - I'm now 35 and its less noticeable now then back then probably due to me taking care of my skin early on

Never have and never would, likewise for OH. Both in our mid 40s and happy to age with pride.

I started being serious about it in my late 20s and lifestyle, sun damage etc really started to take their toll there was an improvement but it was only ever temporary and I have fickle skin so its a lot of trial and error, however, Botox is an amazing treatment as are fillers, you may want to consider these, especially Botox as a preventative measure.

When I hit 30 but I am lucky in that I look a bit younger than I am so didn't really think about it until then. I do wish I had started a bit earlier though as it might have helped pore and breakout-wise.

I did get asked what I was studying in college the other week when I went to the hairdressers, which was nice!
I do take good care of my skin now, I make sure all of my make up is washed off every evening, I cleanse every day and always use a base for my foundation, plus I drink plenty of water to keep spots away and I avoid putting my face in the sun.

Woah. Having botox in your 20s can cause serious harm later on. It is not an effective prevention for anything.

Hi hgotsparkle,
I think starting with the Number 7 creams for your age range is ideal and I would consider, money allowing , investing in the night and eye cream too.
Have a look online and see what sets of No7 are in Boots Christmas range as they can work out cheaper all bought together, also Boots do online only bundles of skincare

I started in my 20s, but that was because I have extremely dry skin and always found using creams aimed at older women was best. For some reason skincare companies think everyone in their 20s has greasy skins so even the dry skin creams aimed at them are like water!

Remember the best thing you can do for your skin is not smoke and avoid the sun. There are twins in my family and one smokes and tans and the other doesn't and I swear the former looks 20 years older than the latter.
