    If you have wrinkles at 40 you need to wear more sunscreen and drink more water.

      If you have wrinkles at 40 you need to wear more sunscreen and drink more water.

      But also even if you don’t have wrinkles you should wear sunscreen and probably drink more water anyway.

        I’m sorry, where did I say that people at 40 don’t have wrinkles?

      What planet do you live on where you see 40 year olds without any wrinkles at all? Absolutely ridiculous comment. Why do people upvote trash replies like this?

        I’m in my forties and have no wrinkles. I have a few friends who have wrinkles but most of them don’t. Maybe you should drink more water and wear more sunscreen.

          Yeah, I am 43 and while I have some very fine lines on my forehead, and near my eyes, you can’t really see them unless you are like within 2 feet of me, or closer. And I have a long history with smoking and drug use. Also I am white, very white, not quite ginger ghost white, but not too far off. Genetics play a very strong role in this, and, at least from my perspective as someone who smoked for 28 years, and did hard drugs for 17, staying out of the sun. I have only really been doing anything close to a routine skin care regimen in like the last 5 years. I have also been homeless. So… yeah, not only do I believe you, I know people just like you. Hell, I probably would have much smoother skin, with no lines, if it wasn’t for how bad I treated myself.

                  That’s because by 40 almost everyone has some wrinkles as the elastin wears down in places with frequent movement like the corners of your eyes or your forehead.

                  I can buy that a singular person at 40 might have few wrinkles but suggesting most they know at 40 do not is an insane claim.

          That’s such BS dude. You’re telling me you have absolutely no wrinkles that weren’t there in your 20s or early 30s? Not a single one. That’s absolute bullshit I’m sorry. Unless you’re claiming to be some genetic oddity and are immortal, you are lying.

            Eesh why the hostility? I don’t have wrinkles. I don’t care if you believe me or not. This is the internet.

            Treat your skin well, get good sleep, drink lots of water, don’t do drugs or smoke. You won’t have wrinkles at 40. Neglect any of those and the likelihood of having wrinkles increases. Sorry that you look like an old bag at 40 but maybe treat yourself better.

              I’m coming off as hostile because I don’t like it when clearly false or misleading comments get upvoted. It’s upsetting.

                You don’t know everyone on the planet or where they live or how they’ve lived so to call someone a liar for a statement about their own body is asinine.

                  Well I know that every single person I’ve ever seen in my life in their 40s has had some degree of wrinkles… Why are you trying so hard to defend this laughably false stance? It’s extremely strange.

                  You could simply be lying to protect your sense of self or as I suspect is more likely you have failing vision and do not realize that all the 40 somethings have fine wrinkles.

                    I know people at 40 that look like they are 20 and people that are 25 that look 45. So yeah it is possible.

            Are we all assuming everyone in this conversation is white? Because I know plenty of black and Asian friends who I don’t recall having wrinkles. Most of them have pretty solid moisturizing/lotion/sunscreen routines, though, so it’s hard to tell how much is cultural versus genetic.

              Look at the corners of their eyes, mouths, and forehead and you will see wrinkles. They are slight but pretty much everyone has them by 40 something

              I think any race will show wrinkles at 40. Some more than others, sure. But definitely all races will at least have SOME newer wrinkles at age 40. To deny this is insanity.

            I know you’re claiming it’s not possible but I’m 38, I’ve done mostly night shifts and stayed out of the sun, I moisturize religiously and have since I was a teen, and I don’t smoke and barely drink (ADHD meds don’t play nice with alcohol).

            I’m wrinkle-free.

            Now compare to my sister, a few years older than me, used to tan growing up by laying out and getting a sunburn, has smoked since we were teens. Insanely wrinkled. Big, deep wrinkles.

            This happens. I think the other person was being flippant and dismissive but… it happens!

              Sorry, I refuse to believe that you do not have a single facial wrinkle that wasn’t there in your 20s or early 30s. I just don’t believe it. It’s impossible. Perhaps people are misunderstanding me and thinking I mean a shit ton of wrinkles that make you look like you’re 80? Because no, that’s not what I’m saying.

                Not even crow’s feet.

                I do a facial once a week. I do microdermabrasion once a week. I can’t stress enough that I hate the sun. I’m sorry if that isn’t your experience, but it happens. I’d share a picture of my face, but I’m trying not to completely dox myself.

                Eta: And lots of water. Gotta drink lots of water.

            I just double-checked in the mirror, and I don’t have any wrinkles yet either.

            That’s what happens when you don’t go outside enough, I guess!

            (I am starting to get a few gray hairs, though, if it makes you feel any better.)

              Impossible. Not physically possible. If you were to compare your face to a close up high res pic of your younger self, you wil 100% see changes and wrinkles. They may be small but they’re there. No way in absolute hell this isn’t true.
