What age were you when you spawned your first wrinkle?

Legacy_user

As some of you may know i'm in the final 12 months of my 20's next year i'll be entering the unknown world of the 30's!

This morning as i was walking into work i did my daily hair check in the reflection of the window and i noticed a frown line on my forehead. Its only small and i must have been frowning when i was driving, but i've never noticed it before like that :eek: my immediate thought was, and i know this sounds melodramatic but i said to myself damn i need botox! If i leave frownie he'll become my first wrinkle

I know people here have more life experience than me, so when did your first wrinkle spawn?

I'm still wrinkle-free as a 21-year-old-with-15-years-experience, but a thyroid disorder saw me begin to go grey at 19!

Thankfully the greys have confined themselves to one big streak plus the odd one, so it looks pretty cool

37, no wrinkles. Still get asked for ID on the rare occasions I drink

That does sound pretty cool :cool: if i had a grey streak like that, i would dye it pink! I have dark brown hair and with a pink streak which i'd probably spike up would look so dope

Still wrinkle free at almost 50 but have my fair share of grey hairs. Fortunately hair dye is much cheaper than Botox :rotfl:

I was asked for ID the other day when buying a bottle of prosecco. I like to think the woman only asked it to see what my name was so she could look me up on facebook :rotfl:

I have very animated eyebrows, especially my right one which has a mind of it's own and usually gives me a sardonic expression. These wiggly eyebrows have given me a couple of fine creases above each, but I've only noticed them being there for the past two or three years. I'm 43 this year.

I don't have any other lines at all, but I don't really mind my forehead being lined - I hate that frozen faced botox look.

I think it's mostly genetics. My mum is fairly line free at 68, so I'm hoping to follow suit!

I'll let you know when....:rotfl:

Early 60s and I still don't have any.

I don't think I look young for my age. I think I look my age and people who've not looked after themselves sometimes look older than their age. I've got the white hair and have had to have some cosmetic blemishes removed and I can see the skin on various bits of me (eg my hands) doesn't look good to me anymore.

But I don't seem to have any wrinkles - and I do have other people peering closely at me sometimes and saying a slightly puzzled "You have good skin" type comment.

Me - I put it down to a healthy diet and I've never smoked or been a sunbather. I've also been moisturising my face for donkeys years.

What I would say though is that anyone who is overweight needs to lose that surplus weight before they start hitting middle age. The reason being that fat people who decide to diet belatedly once they are noticeably into middle age seem to have a tendency to get VERY wrinkled faces. I can think of three women who are very much my age. Two of them have decent figures - but their faces are VERY wrinkled and I suspect the reason is they used to be fat and lost that fat after getting to an age where their skin wouldn't spring back to normal.

One of them is still fat - and is now dieting back to a decent figure and I have noticed that her fairly average amount of wrinkles is now changing to rather a lot of wrinkles as the weight goes down. She didn't use to look so wrinkled before she started dieting and I expect she wishes she could put the clock back 20 years and do the diet then and it may be that she would be reasonably wrinkle-free if she had done so.

I mosturise too and take hydrolised collagen daily but i did that to stop dry skin and it worked so i've never stopped doing it. I was thinking of trying out wifey's alginate face mask stuff to see if that is any good for frownie :undecided

I have a frown line but no wrinkles. I think it's down to my 'resting !!!!! face', haha. Well, that as well as alcohol, sunshine and late nights. Woudn't change a thing!
