My life over the last few years is taking its toll on my skin badly. The wrinkles are awful and I'm in my mid twenties...
Life has had its moments but this year has been unbearable. Without going into details an example of the past year include greif, job loss, infedelity and then some and its taken its toll.
Has anyone got any advice on a product that they've actually seen results with? I've tried everything and nothing is working. I eat healthy and am of good weight. It's really bringing my self esteem down which I didn't think was possible sine I thought I had none! Geesshhh can anyone help

my face competes with an elephant bum I wish I could help
Me too ha-ha ! Thanks for your reply. Hopefully someone on here can help us out!
A really good sunscreen every day. Unfortunately most skin care products are nonsense. The ABCs the checkout did an excellent piece and told you what ingredients to look for.
Found it for you, it's hilarious

that explains why I compete with elephant bums then. at 21 while on guard without shade or anything, it was a call in. I scored severe sunburn and literally lost skin off my nose cheeks chin lips and could barely open my eyes for weeks from the swelling....thankfully i didnt scar although I did get a really bad case of copper sulphate poisoning a week later....I looked like a smurf I was sweating so much of it out
Oh my goodness I'm glad you're okay. Sounds painful!
its was, I was very sick and couldn't spend 5 minutes in the sun at a time without instantly blistering for about 5 years
Fantastic, I thought the check out had finished. Or I've seen this and just forgotten. Sunscreen, the one thing that always slips my mind. I'll spend a half an hour bathing the children in it and completely forget. Thanks for this.
I don't believe in creams or products but have started seeing wrinkles and have four deep lines from years of frowning stressing and crying over a douche bag. I've been to skin clinics and when I get around to it will probably go for a treatment, like a non surgical facelift or a chemical peel or something along those lines.
Yes... It's crazy to see how stress especially douche bag related stress can have an effect on your body. I'm seeing it that's for sure.
Thank you for your reply xo
Are you in or have you been in the sun a lot? Because I'm not actually sure that stress has anything scientifically to do with wrinkles. Things that do effect them are sun (big one), genetics (unfortunately) and also the amount of fat you have in your face. You'll notice that people on the biggest loser often lose a tonne of weight and then look really old after as they don't have the fat to smooth out their lines. Hence why they do 'fillers' for wrinkles. :)
You're probably right! Stress usually means less self care for me. Im not often in the sun but have been forgetting sometimes to lather up sunscreen. I suppose I've been drinking more coffee and less and water too.
