At what age should you start...

Probably around 30ish so you get in before they start.

I'm 28 and was thinking of getting that amazing anti aging cream by Aldi!!!

I'm nine years too late then! ?

The best skincare treatment I've found so far is not having children! ? But I think it's also a state of mind too. I don't feel my age, I don't act it, I don't dress like it and as long as I take my make-up off completely at night, I don't feel like I need any other product. I think I may start to look at eye creams as I head into my 40s.

Well you've nothing to lose ?

I tend to stick with light moisturisers that I know and trust but I'll certainly be giving the ALDI one a go when I need to restock.

I'm 32 and haven't even thought about it.Maybe when I'm in my late 40's or early 50's I might start.

Never, because they don't work?

Use sunscreen, don't smoke and drink plenty of water, that'll do it. ?

Well everyone says i look 20 not 28 but i'm paranoid about one day losing all that and becoming old!

Now, go and tell everyone you meet.

I already do ?

women usually just shake their heads and say "men, what do they know", which is quite amusing.

Really?

So you say spending £250 on anti wrinkle face creams don't work?

Well I'm 30 and don't use anything.

I agree with what LoobyLoo says ?

Sparkley blinded by science again ?

Aw sparks ? just because an ad says something, doesnt mean its true you know.

and i have a real issue with anti wrinkle print ads whereby the images of the women have been so digitally adjusted that no woman could ever have skin like that. i cant udnerstand why they dont fall foul of the trade descriptions act.

But they also look pretty in my bathroom ?


I haaaaaaaate it when magazines use OTT airbrushing.Have you seen the shots ofr the new Sex & The City film? My god SJP doesn't look like that at all. She has loads of wrinkles.

I want to be airbrushed ?

I ll paint you with cheap emulsion if you like ?

Kinky ?

A friend of mine was moaning about her wrinkles (she is 33) and kept asking me to reassure her she doesn't have any.

I couldn't lie so told her she still looks gorgeous which she does and to give up the fags. It is amazing how quickly she has aged.

If it is anything to do with genes it proves fags are bad as her 2 year older sister has virtually none and is very clean living and same goes for her Mum.

Do you know...I had this discussion a while ago with the person who does my waxing as she specialises in treatments and Yonka.

She said she would tell me if/when I needed it ?but the key was keeping out of the sun, drinking lots of water and eating the right foods and looking after yourself. That would prevent bad skin ageing.

I think we can get bogged down with all the advertising for stuff and we start to "think" we need it. Cellulite treatments is a good example of this, I have actually given up caffeine and drink far more water now and my skin overall is much clearer.

I don't use it and I'm 35 - OK, I have some fine lines around my eyes but that's to be expected. I think I look fairly young. I take my make up off each night, I drink plenty of water, I exercise regularly and I try to get enough sleep.

(I also drink too much but life is there ot be enjoyed, not to be spent slathering expensive and pointless cream all over your face.)

Hmm, well I wouldn't be wthout my moisturiser. Its nothing to do with the claims made in adverts and I certainly would never part with hundreds of pounds for face cream.

Do you all really never moisturise? My skin would feel rough and tight without it. I drink plenty, eat well, don't sit in the sun, don't smoke and hardly drink. I don't have wrinkles but I have moisturised from the age of around 18.

The ALDI cream is supposed to be the best on the market so at £1.49 a pot, its hardly going to break the bank.

My skin is pretty good. I occasionally use moisturiser if my skin is dry (mainly in the winter) but otherwise nothing. I rarely wear make-up. If I do, then I'll cleanse, tone & moisturise when I remove it. But that's all. Having said that I eat quite well, drink lots of water and exercise. So who knows?

I can't see that I'll ever be bothered with anti-ageing stuff TBH.

I wouldn't be without a moisturiser either - especially after I have been swimming as the chlorine dries my skin, but I thought the question was more specifically about anti-wrinkle creams - which I would never bother buying.
