Hey help desk

I'm only 17 and I've noticed that I have wrinkles on my forehead, there not deep winkles it looks more like very fine lines and it is barly noticeable, but it is really bothing me.

I don't drink, smoke or do drugs so this wouldn't have caused this. I have a healthy diet as well.

I get acne on my forehead and I've heard this acne ages skin faster, I'm now on anti-botics from my acne.

I heard that the sun is a cause of wrinkles so I now wear a moustriser that has SPF 30 everyday.

I get really stressed every now and them is this a cause for my wrinkles also before using anitbotics I used acne treatment creams such as oxy 5 and oxy 10, on the label it said that it makes your skin more suspetival to sunlight could the use of acne creams and cleasers be the cause for my wrinkles?

My skin type is oily, I heard that oily skin type ages slower than others What's the deal I'm 17!

Thanks pinkgirl

It is true that sun exposure causes wrinkles and also other possible problems. Think of the skin on us that doesn't usually get exposed to the sun. It can look smooth and fresh for decades.

I am glad that you are using some protection for your skin. I am very fair-skinned and try to avoid the sun and also try to wear protection from it.

Acne can happen at any age. It can be stress related, a result of your environment and maybe some other things. Making sure that the sheets and pillow cases on your bed are washed on a regular basis can eliminate some possibilities for acne. It could also be that you might be allergic to certain detergents that are used on your pillows and sheets or your clothing.

I am not an expert on skin care, but I do know that your skin is going to look less wrinkled the more moisture that it has in it. Also, if you tend to be very expressive with your facial expressions, then you might have lines occurring faster then people who don't have much expressions in their faces.

I am hoping that someone who is an expert on skin care will show up. I have at least attempted an anwer.
