Question by Brenna Williams: Can I use anti-aging creams at 18?
I know I am a little young to start using wrinkle creams but I really feel that I need them. I have been having really bad anxiety problems over the past year and a half or so and the stress from it has really taken a toll on my appearance. I have an anxiety disorder that causes you to be really stressed out like all of the time. I have sought treatment for it but it is still something that I struggle with. The stress it has caused has really aged me though. I honestly think I look about ten years older than I am or more in my face. I even had some gray hair. I have puffiness and a few wrinkles around me eyes and the skin on face is definitely not as firm and supple as it used to be. Stress can age you so badly so quickly and I just want to reverse some of the damage that has been done already. Right now I use a regular face lotion before I go to bed and then a dual spf and moisturizer for during the day plus moisture surge cream from clinique that isn’t for aging or anything. I just want to know of any good, anti-aging products that are out there that would be safe for my age. I also drink lots of water and eat healthy to take care of my skin. I also have very sensitive skin so I need something that isn’t too harsh. I probably couldn’t afford something that costs more than $ 50 so something in the $ 30-50 range would be good. Any other skin care tips would be welcomed.

there’s no law against it, but maybe you should sort your stress problems out and then worry about your appearance, your health is the most important thing.

i also have GAD, which causes me to constantly worry about the way that i look…it’s fine to use anti-aging creams at 18, but if you have acne i wouldn’t suggest it because the creams and serums are usually thicker and oilier. good luck
