Answer 2

Oh, my dear, you are so young! I think a good eye cream and a regular moisturizer should be fine. Some of the anti-aging products are pretty harsh, and at your age, might do more harm than good.

Some people have more lines than others. Not much we can do about it. But I'm glad to hear you are taking good care of your skin. Don't rub your eyes a lot, and be sure to take off your make up before you go to bed, even if you are tired. That alone can age you early. And clean your face and use the moisture and eye cream morning and night!

Answer 3

At your age you definatly dont need to use anti age creams. These beauty gurus you are hearing are just trying to make some extra dollars as anti ageing products are VERY expensive coz everyone wants younger looking skin, right? When i was your age i just made sure i used a cleanser and toner and a good moisturizer with sunscreen in it. Im 23 now and have started using a night cream and day cream as being in your 20's is the most important years to keep skin 'young'. Biggest tip from me would be, "wear sunscreen every day" :)

Hi there,
This is a very good anti-aging program I'm following: http://www.goobypls.com/r/rd.asp?gid=547


it's developed by Steve and Becky Holman and it's 100% natural: no drugs, no supplements, no gimmick. They teach how to slow the aging process. There are specific ways to move, eat and think that tell your brain to stop and even reverse the aging process. There are also things they you absolutely have to avoid if you really want to look younger and achieve your ideal body. More info on the site.
Cheers.

Answer 5

Well, it's never too soon to start taking care of your skin but you should not need anti-ageing products at your age! I suspect your lines are caused by a number of things:

Dehydration - if you don't drink water, start! At your age 6 glasses a day or so should be enough

Lack of sleep - as a teen I went to bed as late as possible! If this is you too, start going to bed earlier. You will be doing yourself all sorts of favours (look up the effects of insufficient sleep on your body to demonstrate)

Genetics - it is possible that you have inherited your lines. If so, there isn't a lot you can do about them, bar plastic surgery, which I would not recommend for someone as young as you are. Wait until you get to my age (40) before you start worrying about going under the knife! In the meantime, there is a lot you can do to make your skin look as good as it is ever going to:

Moisturise your skin every morning and wash your face and moisturise it again at night. Use gentle products, preferrably something containing vitamin C;

Stay out of the sun - I cannot emphasise this enough. If you want a tan, fake it!;

Do not smoke - ever;

Don't take drugs or drink to excess;

Drink enough water - your skin is 97% water so if you don't drink enough you will look like crap;

Get enough sleep - at your age, at least 8 hours a night;

Eat a healthy, balanced diet. So no starving to size minus zero for you!;

If all else fails, cheat! Use a concealer to disguise your lines if necessary.

That's it. Do what you can to look as good as possible and do not worry. Your lines are not unusual. Many people have them and I am sure you are still gorgeous regardless! :)

Answer 6

You are never to young to start taking care of your skin. If your skin is healthy you will have a luminescent glow and not need the makeup. Then for a special evening you can put on some mascara and gloss and look stunning. If you do decide to wear makeup please check out the online tutorials on the website below and the application tips.

Please also check out the skin care and contact me if you have any questions, as all my information is on the website.

Last, if you do want a makeover or skin care class, Mary Kay consultants provide this service for free. I am in the Las Vegas, NV area, but I would be happy to recommend someone in your area.

Hope this helps!!

You should stay away from "anti-aging" products. Most of them don't work and/or contain harsh acids that are painful if you get into your eyes.

The best anti-aging product is sunscreen, which you can never be too young to use. I suggest getting Coppertone's Water Babies SPF 30 Suncreen stick to use under your eyes.

I've tried a lot of undereye sunscreen products. Most of them are messy, sting and make me break out.

This product doesn't, is easy to carry, pretty cheap and lasts a long time. I'd pick one up if I were you.

Answer 8

NO! You may just have a face that has that when you smile. We all have things that look different when we smile. so just use moisturizers and be happy with your face. Moisturizers keep the face from drying out and from having lines. You probably can see the same thing in your family members? Am I right? It's heredity and the way you are supposed to look. You don't have a cleft pallate or any deformity so be thankful for your face...it's beautiful and will be more so when you think it is. Be good to yourself and think about all your good qualities!!!

Answer 9

Drink lots of water instead. You should not be worrying about this at 13 years of age. Natural is always the better way to go and you can't beat water for making a complexion look better.

Answer 10

This isn't aging, but genetics. Everyone's eyes crinkle when they smile. The only anti-aging product you need to use daily is sunscreen SPF 15 or higher and one that contains titanium dioxide, zinc oxide or avobenzone.

Answer 11

I had lines under my eyes that were very obvious to me,now I can hardly see them.I started doing facial exercises.I kinda point my lips downward and squeeze my nose from timt to time. Use some petroleum jelly at bedtime.Good Luck.Hope they diminish without you having to use anti-aging stuff at 13!
