I was looking in the mirror just now, and had a rather interesting shock: at 20 years of age, I'm already getting wrinkles. Extremely pronounced laugh lines and the marked beginnings of crow's feet, to be exact. To be honest, I don't much care--Since I turned 10, I haven't been pretty, and a few wrinkles aren't going to affect much; but it still seems a bit unfair that I should have them so soon. Or is 20 a normal age to start--well, aging?

I've had smile lines since I was in my early teens, but the crows didn't land until I had four kids.
So, you should be able to fight it unless you're planning on having children.
I would say that it depends on genetics, how much you've been in the sun (unprotected), how stressful your life has been (do you have a chronic illness?) and how much you've abused your bod (smoking, alcohol and/or drugs). I know lots of ladies in their 30s and 40s that look way over 60 because they smoke, drink, and consider a year-round chocolate tan a must-do fashion statement. If you want to look your best at 40, 50 and beyond, you have to start now. Stop smoking (if you do), drink only in moderation and wear sunscreen.

I'm going to turn into a shriveled up old prune of a woman. Think I could scare small children when I do?

I found my first gray hair when I was sixteen. It's progressed to random streaks. I'd cover it, but I also perm for curl, and I doubt it can take both.
I'm 23 and still getting carded for R rated movies. Maybe I can trade you a LITTLE of my youthful look for a LITTLE of your mature look, and we can both end up looking our age?

I got carded when I was 52--buying alcohol to be served at my kid's 20th birthday dinner. Something seems amiss here!I've never been carded for buying drinks, at bars, clubs, or liquor stores. I'm 19 years old.
