How Many Wrinkles Do U Have?

[clueless]

I'm trying to phrase this inoffensively, but why don't you get crows feet? I'm confused!
Anyway,I don't have any wrinkles, but I am worried about how I'll age as I am usually mistaken for older than I am. Not that that has anything to do with wrinkles, as it has been happening since I was really really young. But it does make me think well how old will people think I am when I'm 40 or 50 or whatever?

awwh.. i appreciate your sensitivity.. but no worries eh?
i'm a brown chicky... caramel coloured really... a MAC NC45 to be exact.

most folks where i come from originally (Trinidad) don't get crow's feet... ever..
mostly those who have Indian heritage or African or a mix with anything like that.

we get other types of wrinkles - under the eyes, on the nose (maybe cuz our noses are too short/flat - - haha - i can say that) and on the forehead.. oh and those deeper ones along the mouth... but crow's feet - pretty rare.

my hubs is persian, and he's got crazy crow's feet happening - i luuuuurve them!

about your comment about folks thinking you're older... i found when i was in my teens/twenties, people thought i was older... maybe that's the case? i had a friend 7yrs younger than me, but she was a very wise person, an 'old-soul' so people thought she was older too - the way she carried herself w/ grace too - maybe that applies to you?

Hmm,I had no idea about that! I'm sure you're gorgeous!
I like to think I carry myself with grace, but somehow I doubt that is why I get mistake for older though!

 

[gruveechik]

hiya - thanks!
i needed that gorgeous bit


keeping on carrying yourself w/ grace

or - if you feel that's not the source of the 'older' feedback
then maybe it could be:
character style (some people seem more mature than others - even in the way the walk/talk/express themselves & body cues - doesn't mean they're 'old' - just more mature - and perhaps appear to be more confident too).
hairstyle (eg. i've got super short hair - sometimes it looks like Halle Berry's old short chunky do - makes me look younger. When my hair is any longer than that - or especially below my ears, i pack on like 8 years).
your signature fashion style (do you dress in classics etc? i think again along the mature look).

i don't know what else it could be, unless it's skin and all that - then the whole H20 thing + moisturizers + really good makeup + good food + supplements... but i'm sure you already know all of this.


i'm thinking of a friend of mine, we're about the same age (32-33) and she passes for 18 (!!!!). i have another friend who's 39 and she passes for 26/27 (!!!). Oh i got a wee bit envious and wondered what was their trick - chalked it up to excellent bloody genes (the lucky buggers!) - and maybe hormones too. They also both drink lots of water, massage their facial skin and have a great sense of humour and laugh often.. could be that too. Aaaah.. the quest for the fountain of youth.

OMG you are just too gorgeous!
I do tend to have a conservative look about me. But it's a little ridiculous sometimes!

Im 36, with 4 children, no one believes me when i say i have 4 children. I dont have any wrinkles(Lord knows how) and look very young for my age. I am trying to condition my mind to grown older 'gracefully'. Its hard though with all the anti-wrinkle/botox/cosmetic surgery that is shown left, right and centre

Does the Evian water in a can really work?

Please don't believe these old wives tales... neither ponytails, Evian nor moisturizer will prevent wrinkles. Use sunscreen daily (at least a broad-spectrum 15 SPF) and avoid tanning and cigarettes. If you're bad to your body as a whole, your skin will reflect this.

Please don't dispense advice when you don't know what you're talking about. If anyone has any additional concerns, I refer you to the lovely experts at MakeupAlley. Merely putting water on your face won't moisturize it - otherwise why would we need products? We would just spash our faces with it instead.

its not just water... in the spray

 

[Acid]

water doesnt moisturise your skin simply because your skin is 100% waterproof.

if water was able to penetrate through your skin, then blood would equally be able to just fall out of your skin.

to hydrate your skin you need a substance which can be absorbed by your outer dermis for a short period of time....similar to a sponge sucking up water......but will eventually dry up

acid - not strictly true. water does penetrate the skin through osmosis....

I'm 23 and am usually mistaken for younger than I am...people guess I'm 17/18 but theres one fine "wrinkle" that is showing under bad lighting that bothers me....and I know it's kind of stupid but I mind nontheless.
It's the one that results from raising ones brows:
