At first I thought it must be the concealer. It wasn't the usual one - my beloved Touche Eclat - and when I used it each morning I couldn't help but notice a fine line under each eye that had never been there before. ''Bloody Body Shop,'' said I but when finances allowed a return to YSL the lines remained. It wasn't the product - it was my first wrinkle.

I have seen my first signs of aging. Although everyone else says I mad I know there's a few tiny fine lines starting to appear.

I swear I see more every day.

i have started to sound vain , when it is actually shock :redcheeks:, i never had noticed these lines they r more permanent now rather than just laughter / smile lines [under & around my eyes]

gone r the days of me looking younger than my age *sulk*

I've already got a couple of lines around my eyes, I believe from my solarum use :redcheeks: Although no new ones are appearing thank god, ever since I started using sunscreen!

I have a few underneath my eyes (like in the blog, sometimes it looks like a bad mascara/concealer mishap) but I think they're dehydration/smile lines rather than from UV exposure. I've been wearing broad-spectrum and sunglasses since I was about 12 so I'm hoping to stave off UV-induced lines for at least a few more years yet!!

I think mine are definitely from solarium and sun exposure - as I didn't often wear the goggles in the solarium (i know :shockedhair: ) as I was afraid they would give me suntan lines. I also didn't often wear sunnies. Now after religiously wearing sunnies (i wear them everywhere!) and using spf 30+ no new ones have appeared. So I am putting it down to uv exposure :shakehead: I am only 20!

start using an eye cream emmy :waving: :)

I have an Olay Eye Gel Cucumber Extract. To be honest I use it irregularly - maybe once a week :redcheeks: I'm just skeptical at 20 that I need to get one and I'm not really impressed with the Olay one.

Get a good one. Use it regularly. It's about prevention for hte future. You may not see effects right away, but in the future you will.

I will check out the skincare thread for eye creams then! :waving:

I have one way more prominent line under one of my eyes that my eye make-up creeps into and makes it look worse, just one I tell you!!!!! :shakehead:

I think its due to puffiness.
