I look 15 years older than I am

Most of the skin on my face is really bad. First I have acne scars, but I don't think that's what is making me look so old (people tell me my age is 15 years more than what it is when they try to guess..).

My skin is not smooth, it looks like an old person's skin, also I have a few lines on my forehead and I have two lines over my mouth and to the left and right of my nose, I've been under super-stress for years now, is that what the lines is from? I think the lines on my head is because I always have my eyebrows tensed up.

The skin on my cheeks is pretty bad, you can feel it and see it close, also bright light shows it off a lot. Most of the bad skin is under where I shave. I don't know how long i've had it for, I think my skin has been this bad since I was 16 (I am 20 now)..

Re: I look 15 years older than I am

I would make an appt with a dermatologist. There are many medications on the market these days for acne problems, scarring, wrinkes, etc. I'm sure he/she will be able to offer some suggestions.

Wishing you luck.

Wink Re: I look 15 years older than I am

Hey! you should try a microdermabrasion cloth on your face.. u can buy them on **** for about $12.. what they do is basically exfoliate the top layer of your skin so new healthy skin is able to emerge.. its much like an expensive microdermabrasion u can get from the doc... except all u need is water.. and they work wonders for all skin types! i would consider trying this b4 doing anything expensive..

i hope this helps

Re: I look 15 years older than I am

I'm curious about this Microdermabrasion Cloths. How do you actually use it?? do you cleanse your skin first, then pet your face wet, then scrub your face w/ the cloth? I am thinking about buying it. Anyone please reply back.

Re: I look 15 years older than I am

I was always taught that any kind of scrubbing on your skin is horrible for it, that it MAKES wrinkles. Now can someone explain to me why this microdermabrasion is so big???? Does it have bad long term effects? What about the apricot scrub???
