Not convinced by this “your never too young” business – using anti ageing products on young skin SPEEDS UP the ageing process!

You are never too young.

My opinion…you’re never too young. When you already have a problem…it’s to late. Might as well start now.
November 14th, 2009 at 4:43 pm
The earlier the better. I am 24 and started using anti-aging products at the age of 21. I mainly take supplements though, like OPC (in an isotonic form) and vitamin C. But do use other things like a body wash that has vitamin C and E in it.
It is important that you find the right products, always read labels. The higher up the ‘good stuff’ is on the list of ingredients, the better the product is (because the ingredients listed first are used more in the product)

Just age gracefully I think.
We get old, the glop doesn’t really do much.
November 22nd, 2009 at 2:09 pm
not at all if they work…
November 25th, 2009 at 5:29 am
14….I think the aging process really kicks in around 14. If you’re starting any later than that, it’s too late already, forget it.
November 27th, 2009 at 6:21 pm
start now, its nver to soon to start
November 28th, 2009 at 6:33 am
i’ve read in a fashion magazine that you start using anti-aging products from the moment you see fine lines
November 28th, 2009 at 9:37 pm
I am 30 and I have been using them for 2 years now because i am afraid of starting to late
December 1st, 2009 at 10:18 am
start in mid-30’s
December 4th, 2009 at 12:23 am
I’m no expert but I think as soon as you feel like using them. I’m starting to notice some ‘laugh lines’ and I am only 27. I haven’t actively started using anti-age products but I’ve been thinking about it.
December 4th, 2009 at 11:42 pm
Seriously, there is no set age. If you want to use them, use them. They are not a magic solution, however, you can only achieve dramatic results with surgeries which are not worth it.
December 7th, 2009 at 3:39 am
I don’t think that there is any specific age. I would imagine as soon as you **** start wrinkling honey that’s when it’s time to put it on. Of course the young need not apply.
December 10th, 2009 at 1:34 am
20-30
Also take Vit C and E
Drink lots of water to flush poisons
Stay out of the sun, the sun is NOT your freind. Take a look at an old person, notice the 65 year old with nice skin never went in the sun!
December 10th, 2009 at 7:52 am
don’t smoke don’t drink
eat healthy
December 12th, 2009 at 7:40 am
I started using Alpha Hydroxy Cream at 35.I am now 41…and people say I have lovely skin,and I have no noticeable wrinkles.(I believe a big part of it is genetics though–my mom is 78 and has only a few wrinkles!)
Also–I never smoked or worshiped the sun…that makes a huge difference in the skin of 40-somethings.My friends who’ve smoked have lots of wrinkles.
December 13th, 2009 at 1:58 pm
nope.. I’ve read that the only “anti-aging” product is sunscreen.. I use it everyday and have since I was 12..
December 15th, 2009 at 5:33 am
Not at all….I started in my late 20’s
December 17th, 2009 at 3:44 am
when you start aging
December 19th, 2009 at 11:22 am
well i think evening primrose oil cream is great just before bed it siuts all skin types and will prepare your skin for those years to come
December 20th, 2009 at 4:09 pm
I started in my mid twenties. Better safe than sorry!
December 23rd, 2009 at 3:15 am
I’m 19 and i use anti-aging cream. ur never too young. Haha!
December 25th, 2009 at 12:14 pm
Sunscreen is really the only true “anti-aging” formula, since 90% of signs of aging are sun damage. And you’re never too young to use this!
December 28th, 2009 at 5:08 am
The best thing is to start now in your 30’s. That way you can prevent sun damage, wrinkles and sun spots when you’re older. So go ahead and try it.
December 30th, 2009 at 7:54 am
As soon you start having *** or wearing makeup… If Im to late for eather then you should stat using it now!!!!
December 31st, 2009 at 10:11 pm
if you find a product that works for you and makes you look and feel better then stick too it and keep using it *** Hope this helps xxx
January 1st, 2010 at 10:27 am
FACT: Our skin starts aging at age 8!! So, you are never too young to start!
Okay, if you think laugh lines (fine lines around your eyes and mouth when you smile) need anti aging products, there is no hope for you…. life happens, go with the flow and enjoy it.
January 1st, 2010 at 9:43 pm
It’s never to early
January 5th, 2010 at 2:38 am
the best anti aging products are sunscreen, good diet, no smoking, and plenty of sleep, it is nev edr too early to start these!
January 6th, 2010 at 10:28 pm
In my opinion no one should use any anti-aging products, your just showing that your scared of the inevitable truth that one day you ll be old, and that scares allot of people, i mean who wants to get old and die. You should just be happy with the way that you are.
January 7th, 2010 at 3:13 am
If you look anything like your Picture you will not need it till your 98 for sure
January 10th, 2010 at 12:37 am
I don’t think you should ever use these so-called anti-aging products,they contain harmful chemicals that are not as good for the skin as we are led to believe.Use a natural moisturizer.I use one that contains oatmeal and goatsmilk,it seems to do the trick!But anything will do as long as it’s natural.(check the labels)
January 11th, 2010 at 12:12 pm
If you already are aware of the way the product affect you, then why are you posting this question?
January 12th, 2010 at 1:20 am
Just use vitamins, exercise, abstain from smoking, and moderate drinking. Stay away from the harmful horseshit.
January 13th, 2010 at 2:34 pm
You should start when u turn 13
January 15th, 2010 at 11:06 pm
start before it starts to happen. once it starts it s harder to stop.
You can slow it down, but your going to age.
Drink at least a gallon of water a day and always, always always use a rich moisturizer anytime you wash using your gentle cleanser, not soap. And smile.
I am lucky that I live in a moist climate, people think I am 10 years younger than I am.
I saw Peggy Lee recently, she must be what 80 by now.
her face was frozen and she looked horrible, too much
plastic surgery, much worse than wrinkles.
January 18th, 2010 at 3:38 am
if you are noticing fine lines.then you’re the perfect age to start using the anti- aging cream!
January 20th, 2010 at 12:40 pm
Am way over the hill and don’t use any anti-aging products. I do wear a hat and sunscreen but don’t smoke. No foundation of any kind, use ****** peel once a week and Ivory soap every day. Look 10-15 years younger than I am and hardly even have any crows feet started around the eyes. Don’t cook or eat greasy foods either. People think I’m lying when I say my age.
January 22nd, 2010 at 9:40 am
The best age to start using them is now and no you are not too young. But first thing to remember is that “anti-aging” is an oxymoron like the word freezerburn.
Keeping your skin hydrated is a good first step in keeping your skin looking young. Sunscreens are only as good as the number of applications. Have you ever heard of an all-day sunscreen? No? That’s why we have to keep re-applying throughout the day.
Eating healthier. Too much sunlight can attribute to premature wrinkles. If you smoke that also causes lines around the mouth.
But if you have laugh lines it sounds like you love to smile. It’s part of your personality.
Some will recommend botox injections as a way to keep those laugh lines from being noticeable. I have never tried this but a friend of mine did and let me tell you she looked pretty weird laughing without any expression.
Anyway, hydrating your skin from within and eating foods that help promote healthy skin should slow the process.
Mary Kay also has great anti-aging skin products. My mother swears by Mary Kay cosmetics. Good luck.

I kinda lump this in with elderly people that die their hair and have a face that looks like a rasin.
I am 42 I have very few grays, and laugh lines and I like it that way.
I am young at heart and I will always be that way.
I see it as being better then looking young and feeling old.
Makeup is the worst, way more then sun is. Your body need some sun, to much is bad to little is bad.
Only you will be happy but I see you as not being happy if you start getting all worked up about lines, you will always be looking in a mirror and hating yourself.
January 23rd, 2010 at 8:47 am
late twenties early 30s to prevent those lovely little wrinkles and laugh lines. Drink lots of water, wear sun screen of at least 30, wear hats in the sun. Cleanse your face well.
Athough you know they say the face you have at fifty is the face you ‘ve earned, although that was long before face lifts and botox etc.
January 23rd, 2010 at 7:54 pm
There is no age limit. If you are 18 and live in the sun or tanning bed with or without sunscreen, you will soon start getting wrinkles early. If you eat a balanced diet, drink a lot of water and stay out of the sunshine during mid-day, you probably will not need anti-aging products. It all depends on how you treat yourself.
January 24th, 2010 at 1:00 pm
Sunscreen notwithstanding, it’s not so much what you put ON your body that counts as it is what you put IN your body. Good nutrition is a MUST! That old saying that states that “we are what we eat” is absolutely right. That includes ANYTHING we put in our bodies like alcohol, drugs (EVEN prescription) and tobacco products since ALL of these things ‘age’ a person faster. And, yes, like another poster made a point, the amount of exposure to the Sun makes a big difference, too. Why do you think the rich, upper-crust Ladies of the old days stayed out of the Sun and wore clothing to keep the Sun away?
Genetics play big role, too. Look at your older relatives. Take special notice of their lifestyles to see what type of genetics you may or may not be ‘fighting’.
One poster suggested simply aging gracefully. I believe they are on to something tangible there!
January 27th, 2010 at 1:23 am
Anti aging products must be used since 35 yrs old.
Prevention products since 25 yrs old.
You’re still young to use those products wait until 35
January 29th, 2010 at 7:44 am
If you are visibly aging then the products are designed to be implemented now, but whether you reserve them for the future, when you feel you will benefit the most from them, is a matter of discrimination. If I was you I would focus the most on sunscreen, vitamins, diet, and collagen-containing moisturizers, which don’t hurt at any age, and put off the anti-wrinkle treatments until your 40s or 50s, when you’ll begin to look less like the self you know.
January 30th, 2010 at 1:24 pm
once u’re in your twenties…preferably 21 and above..
January 31st, 2010 at 6:20 pm
30 for most anti-aging products usiually your basic skin care is good enough till then.
February 3rd, 2010 at 11:30 am
I think you should start using products when YOU think you need them. Everyone is different in the way they look at aging and everyone ages quite differently. My grandmother at 91 has barely a wrinkle on her. She is amazing. But she has always exercised and eats really well which I think has a great deal to do with how you age. As far as products go, I would only suggest a good sunscreen, wear sunglasses when outdoors or driving, I try by best never to do excessive squinting. There are a ton of products out there and they can be really alluring and confusing making promises that most of the time do not deliver. Why not talk to a dermatologist? They have the best stuff available.
