I am 26 years old, am an avid user of sunscreen, have a fair complexion (although I can tan without burning), and do not wear makeup. I eat well (no junk or fast food, no sodas) and drink water as much as possible. I find myself baffled by creases that have appeared on my forehead. I have
two horizontal lines coming in from either side of my upper forehead, about 2-3 inches long on either side. They don't appear as wrinkles or creases, but rather as indentations, as though my head had been resting on something. I
do not often wear hats, although I do climb and wear helmets at those times. I feel I take good care of myself and my skin, and am too young to reallythink that they are wrinkles. I am just wondering what these lines might be, and what might help me in reducing their appearance.
Am I too young to have wrinkles?
i think you could moisturize your skin more. i was born with eczema so i have had my share of learning about skin care. Vaseline intensive care lotion is a pretty good skin care product. it's been effective and it is inexpensive. i've also heard that sprouts are good for rejuvenating cell matter. you could work them into your diet.
i have located a skin care sight for you to peruse. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_care . i really hope your concern is remedied.
take care.
Reply:Stop frowning maybe!
No really, it sounds like you have done all the right things, so it's probably just a genetic thing. I am 23 and starting to get crows feet around my eyes, my bf (23) has the same sort of thing as you on his forehead. I personally do not get hung up about it - I actually think it does give us character. Something I noticed is that I squint a lot in the sun so that may have contributed to mine... My bf frowns thoughtfully when he is concentrating very hard - which has probably added to his. So maybe try to be concious of making your expression neutral... But it really probably is genetic aswell!
Reply:If your lines are permanently present, then observe whether they get worse with movement. If they do then its an expression line caused by muscle contractions. To treat this they can be reduced in appearance with a glycolic acid product. If they don't get worse with movement then they are static lines caused by a lack of collagen and elastin. To treat this use antioxidants, vitamin A and peptides to get the bounce back.
Reply:Hydration is the key, I use a water based product that has been tested at 100% hydration and my face shows it. Greak on wrinkles too. I use the eye cream on my upper lip area and works. NO PARABENS OR PRESERVATIVES. It is the only skin care that the Japan Government has certified as 100% natural. Most products are giving us breast cancer with the preservatives and parabens. Check out your leading brands. They use harmful chemicals to make us look good. We are all going ot be pretty in a casket. Methyl Parabens, and every other kind of paraben. Go to the breast cancer site and research parabens and you will toss you products. I buy it from a gal named Allison. She gave me the site called www.revolutionaryskincare.info. her email is allidari@yahoo.ca.
Reply:Sounds like you take pretty good care of yourself. How about moisturizer? Be sure you use it - both men and women need it - skin is skin! Do you squint your eyes a lot (maybe from being in the sun, or from reading)? It could be that you need either glasses or different sunglasses to shade a larger portion of your eyes from sun and to protect from wind. Start really paying attention to when you squint, and what is causing you to do so.

How do i Exfoliate my skin on my face?
i have tried alot of things but i dont noe if im doing it right how do i noe and is there any natural way to lighten my skin i was light young and after 5 years of getting alot of sun i have turn dark ive been avoiding the sun and putting lemon juice on my face but thats about it. its not really helping
How do i Exfoliate my skin on my face?
exfoliating the skin is when u cleanse it with a soft grain in the mix to relieve the skin of dead cells and show the fresh renewed skin underneath. it also cleans out the pores in the skin. There are many exfoliants on the market, you need to be careful not to use one that is too harsh. this maty damage the skin. you need only to apply it to the t zone of your face. this is the forehead, nose and cheeks. avoid the eye area. The lemon juice doesnt exfoliate because it doesnt have any grandules in it. this will make a good cleanser however be careful you dont over use this as itmay make your skin very dry. when you do exfoliate do not do it each day, you only need to do it every 2 days or so, and make sure you moisturise after or you will have very dry skin.
Reply:lemon juice lightens hair, not face. if you want to exfoliate, get a good scrub from the store (st. ives apricot scrub works well) or just rub some water and corn meal together. rub it all over your face and rinse REALLY well with warm water, then with cold water. the cold water snaps your pores shut so that nothing gets back inside.
i'm not sure about lightening your skin, though. i'm not sure why you would want to...
Reply:Try using sugar as a scrub. If you want to lighten your face color, there's a whole market of skin lighteners out there. I don't know anything that you can get out of your kitchen or anything.
Reply:there are many exfoliating products out there,
and some moisturisers have whitening extract in them.
what I can suggest u is to apply sunscreen wich contain high spf before going out
Reply:go to the beach and scrub your face silly with sand. i heard brazilians do this.

Reply:for skin care-
1)Cleansing is the first essential step in your daily skin care routine.If your skin is oily a more frequent cleansing i.e. 4-5 times a day is necessary.
2)Masks
Basically all face masks have some sort of a cleansing action. Various ingredients are used in the masks, depending on the skin type. Clay, form an important constituent of many face masks. They help to remove dirt, sebum, and dead skin so that the skin looks clean, soft and youthful.
3)Freshening
Having cleansed, wipe away any last traces of dirt or oil with a skin freshener or toner (cleansing milk) which suits your skin type.Those with alcohol (astringent) are for oily skin.
4)Protecting
The sun, is the environmental factor that is most harmful to the health and appearance of the skin. so,procecting from sun is imp.
For Glowing skin
-A facemask of egg white and honey gently removes the tan from your face.
-Mix oats with honey, yogurt and ground almonds. Apply this in your face, leave it for five minutes and wash with lukewarm water.
-Take 1/3-cup cocoa, three teaspoons of heavy cream, 1/3-cup ripe papaya, 1/4-cup honey and three teaspoons of oatmeal powder. Mix it all together. Apply on your face. After 10 minutes, wash your face with warm water. This is best for oily skin
-For oily skin, apply a mixture of grapes, lemon and egg white. Leave it for 20 minutes and rinse with warm water. While lemon acts as a natural cleanser, grapes will soften your skin and egg whites will tighten it. Don’t be alarmed if your skin tingles.
-Apply the mixture of honey and milk on the face . This will make your skin glow.
-Prepare a mask by mixing a slice of pumpkin with egg yolk and milk. Let this mask set on your face for 30 minutes for a glowing skin.
-Make a paste of red sandal wood and apply it on the face every day for glowing skin.
hope it helps....
Reply:Make sure you use products suited for your skin type. Try using a face mask and scrub once a week. The cleaner your skin the younger it will look. Origins Checks and Balances range is supposed to be really good.
Reply:Go to a dermatoligst and get Retin-A the first couple days are harsh. Then all of a sudden you have nice skin after :-) Mine has less wrinkles now and a nice glow to it.

Skin scratches?
i hve got random scratches on my skin since i was young. they will dissapear in a day. and they come in random spots of 3 on my stomach, arms, back and now face... i do not own a cat or dog and i have not scratched myself because i bite my nails and the scratches are not raised....
Skin scratches?
Sounds like a physical urticaria, though it might be a cholinergic urticaria...or cold urticaria.
If it is, it is nothing harmful and there is nothing to worry about.
If it is bothersome to you, talk to a doctor...especially a dermatologist about treatment.
Or, you could just try taking over-the-counter Benadryl regularly to see if it goes away. This is first line treatment for this.
There is some helpful information here:

Hope this helps some!
Reply:nope! my skin does not swell. I know about urticaria and this isnt it... it doesnt bother me. i just find it strange Report It

Does dry skin cause you to wrinkle easier?
I am a 29 yr old female and have very dry skin. If I don't put lotion on it (arms, legs, feet, etc) will my skin wrinkle at a young age? It seems I can see a few creases when it's dry but when I put lotion they go away.
Does dry skin cause you to wrinkle easier?
doesnt wrinkle you just see your lines. lotion covers it up
Reply:Yes, because when the skin dries out and there is no more moiture it causes wrinkles. Wrinkles can be undone if you moisturize the wrinkles so much they will fade away and your age doesnt even matter. If you need any other answers to your questions just e-mail me at dramaqueen585@yahoo.com
Reply:yep. use lotiton
Reply:Absolutely. Along with using lotion/moisturizer, use a mild soap (I prefer body wash -- less drying to me), don't take hot showers, and drink plenty of water - you're moisturizing from the inside too! I'm 43 years old, and my legs still have that glow because I follow these basic steps (minus the lotion most of the time, though, as I don't typically have dry skin).

Causes of skin cancer in adolescents?
Three causes of melanoma, huh? I would venture to say: 1.) Sunburn 2.) A congenital melanocytic nevus (mole) 3.) Repeated chemical or mechanical trauma to the skin. Your best bet is to run a search for "melanoma".
