I’m turning 4 tomorrow so i need to order retinol and vitamin c creams and anti aging ointments so i won’t lose my youth and look 3 forever <- this is what you sound like being in your 20s saying shit about wrinkles online
Twenties skincare is super important- you can keep your youthful skin if you’re smart (genetics play a role but so does how you treat your body) If you’re an idiot like I was, be prepared to spend a lot of money in your 30’s. I wish someone had sat me down and went over all of this with me:
20’s skincare- you need sunscreen anytime there’s sun exposure, getting a tan is asking for dark spots, uneven skin and wrinkles later in life (not to mention biopsies to test for skin cancer which means scars), use retinol at night as often as your skin can tolerate it (some people can’t use it daily- never use retinal before sun exposure), wash and moisturize your face twice daily (don’t forget your neck!), exfoliate delicately once a week, take a multivitamin, drink lots of water and learn to sleep on your back at a sight incline. If you notice wrinkles that stay after you relax your facial muscles, start Botox/Dysport/Xeomin. BE DELICATE with the skin under and around your eyes!!! Applying and removing makeup- be super gentle. Ditch the habit of rubbing your eyes, you’re stretching your skin and it will loose elasticity which will create hollows under your eyes and/or wrinkles.
