the earlier the better, prevent aging, dont wait until it happens.I like to use ponds cold cream at night, it removes make up and moisterizes, truly an excellent product. i'm 30 and i started using it about 5 years ago.

Sunscreen is the key to delaying the signs of aging and to prevent redness when you are older. Look for sunscreen that is oil free like Neutrogena. Sometimes if you try to get rid of oiliness by overwashing, what you skin does is go into overdrive trying to make up for the loss by producing way too much oil. So any kind of moisture is going to be good for your skin. You need it even if you have oily skin. My face is very oily too, but I use sunscreen daily for the UVA and UVB protection. If you don't know what UVA and UVB means I will tell you. UVA helps to protect you against the aging effects of the sun and UVB helps protect you from the burning effects of the sun. So remember A is for aging, B is for burning. Be sure to buy sunscreen that has both in it. Good Luck to you!

It's never too early, and find that sunscreen, that's the surest way to keep aging at bay. Go to a dermatologist that offers laser and they'll have an excellent sunscreen for ultra-sensitive break-out prone skin.
Also, start a little account to save for "Maintenance". I recently had laser treatments for rosacea, but the treatments were FAN-FREAKIN'-TASTIC! for reduction of sun damage/wrinkles/hair growth and generally making my skin look great. It took a good 10 years off me and I can go without foundation again. Haven't done that in years.
Your savings will cover the costs of that sort of thing, as well as the dental upgrading and such that becomes needed in your 40s.

It would be better to keep a distance between those chemical products that claim to keep u young, eventually they make you look old even faster than you should have cause they want their customers and when u use them u feel good, if not then u start depending on them.. I would never use all that so early ..I am 25 and I try all natural stuff like...
- Small slice of banana+olive oil for moisturizing skin
- Sandalwood powder+rose water - fresh skin
and many more..... u can always get natural tips online.

My advise would be right away! I'm not talking anti-wrinkle cream just yet if you don't want to spend the money now....but it wouldn't hurt.
My mother always used creams and moisturizers and she is on her way to sixty and looks great. I myself stared using Oil of Olay products after the birth of my daughter, at 23 because I was worried I would age too quickly from the stress. LOL. I'm 28 now and I still get carded whenever I buy alcohol or cigarettes. Yes, I am a smoker.
Just keep your skin hydrated, drink lots of water and use SUNBLOCK EVERYDAY. I have a moisturizer that has sunblock included. No skin discolorations, no freckles and only a select few laugh lines that we all get on our way to 30.
Good luck. Aging is a terrifying thing. I'll pay anything to keep my youth on the surface...but don't go too far. If you obsess too much, you'll stress yourself and stress ages you quicker. It's hard being a woman

I started moisturizing and using eye cream everyday when I was 19. Most people guess my age at 25 but I'm quite a bit older. It's not too soon to practice good skin care. For sunscreen I us Aveeno Ultra Calming lotion and it doesn't cause me to break out ( though I am acne prone).

Neutrogena daily face lotion SPF 30 is awesome! Not greasy at all. And, yes, 22 is kind of young to start buying anti-aging products. I started at 30 because I thought I was seeing lines. :) Just take care of your skin now and you can probably put off the serious anti-aging stuff until you are at least 30.

The day you are born you start aging ... years of smiling laughing...frowning ... stays on your face it is never to young to start. MAry Kay has really good anti aging products I use it all the time! it works wonders and makes my skin feel great. I am 24 years old. I also know that using any kind of facewash with scrub particles in it is bad for you it will actually speed up the aging process. THe sand particles in products like Apricot scrub sctually scratch your face ... But will not show until you start aging dramatically. Email me if you would like a contact for MAry Kay products I know oane of the Directors that work for the company. She could actually send you information if it isnt available online. Heres my Email address- Jennygump07@yahoo.com

Many water based moisturizers contain SPF now, and it's never too early to start taking care of your skin. I wouldn't go as far as using anti aging products at 22 because they are emolient rich, and you mentioned breakouts. Go for a water based moisturizer with SPF.
