I just turned 20 (still a baby I know) but I panicked becuase I had to be a grown-up (most of the panic was alchol fulled)! Something I've been thinking about is when I should start worring wrinkles, I've read in magazines (in the UK) about ladies as young as 20 getting botox! (also I dont take care of my skin, i.e. i love a tan and my diet is rubbish!)
What age is a good time to start using anti-aging creams?
Burton
DSquared
Ralph Lauren
Use a moisturizer appropriate for you age with SPF of at least 30. The air pollution that surrounds us contributes to the aging of the skin regardless of your age.

They key to perfect skin is prevention. If you start using anti-aging moisturizers in your 20s it will make a world of a difference when you get older!
2Never, ever to early to start, have my teenagers using moisturizers.

Never, they do not work.
5But, good habits are super important!
Your complection really gets out of hand when you eat badly.
Working out helps.
Washing your face every morning is so important as well as before you go to bed.
Just healthy habits like that should keep you fine until age kicks in, which won't come as soon if you take good care of yourself.
Everyone has added great advice. I would add, though, that all of the anti-aging creams won't do a lick of good if you're not wearing sunblock every day. It is so much easier to prevent aging than it is to deal with it after the fact. So wear the sunblock and a night cream, and you should be in great shape!
6I have been using moisturizer with SPF since I was 18. I thank my mother for that!!
7At your age, don't worry about anti-aging ingredients but a good moisturizer and sunblock will be the best preventative measures. I hope you don't smoke and you get enough sleep. Forget the tan-is probably the best advice.
8Oh, to be twenty again and care half as much as I do now about such things!
Thank you all for your advice!! I try to be good with my moisturising and cleasing routine! I'll invest in a spf moisturiser though and some fake tan (also i should try to cut down the student lifestyle a little (ie drinking, smoking, no sleep))
9I m 20 too and i started using moisturizer with SPF, 3 years ago.I think its enough for now.The last year i m using Wild Rose from Korres and its great.Of course i use sunblock on my face when i go to the beach cause you need extra protection, and i dont wanna get wrinkled early
10bangs- use sunblock on more than just your face- you don't want your face to look 30 later and your neck and chest to look 50. Also, protect your hands from getting age spots, too. Better to spray tan if you need a glow.
11sofi thanks!I do use it a lot everywhere!I used to totally ignore sunblock (maybe because it was the mummy thing pushing me to do it) but suddenly i realized how important it is and i became obsessed.I pay more attention to one of my hands cause i got it burned when i was really young and the skin is sensitive there.
12cool
13My daughter got sunburned when at daycare when she was little and it left a scar on her face, get the highest protection you can! And def moisturize, even if you think you skin is oily, get an oil free one, it will make a world of difference! My self and my teen, not the pre teen, only use tinted moisturizers with spf for base, the pre teen is the one that got the burn with the scar and so far only uses lotion with spf.
14you def. wanna start using anti wrinkle creams now. whats the point of anti wrinkle if you already them, its for prevention, also use sunscreen, dont get sunburns, it only increases the risk of skincancer, and dont tan. but if you use anti wrinkle now you may have a chance you wont get them in your older years.
15My thoughts are like so many others - a good moisturizer suited to your skin type and sunblock is critical! It's wonderful that there are so many options now when it comes to moisturizers with SPF.
And, I agree with Sofi, a spray tan is the way to go, your skin will thank you down the road. And while we're at it, your whole body will be happier and healthier if you feed it good food and do without the drinking and smoking, but now I sound like I'm lecturing
16I am 20 too and I try to eat healthy and stay consistent with my SPF. However my skin is sensitive and breaks out easily so I have to use Epiduo at night or deal with pimples all over.
