Too Young For Anti Aging?

I'm 19 but I want to start preventing wrinkles now. Is that bad? I have an aunt she's about 83-84 yrs old and she looks like she's barely 65! and she still works. My mom tells me that my aunt started taking care of herself at a young age by taking her vitamins and using good anti aging creams.

I want to try using some that I've noticed at Target, like Aveeno, Almay, Olay or Burstbeez.
Are these good?
I have sensitive skin and my skin is clearing up from acne.
Can you name any good ones that I can find at local stores?
I'm currently using Aveeno Ultra-Calming Daily Moisturizer SPF 15 as a lotion before I put on my concealer.

A Popular Topic… Zits?

Oiy.

I tend to get the slightly painful, red, half under-the-skin kind of zit - not blackheads or whiteheads. Drying them out doesn't really seem to work. I've tried exfoliation, and while it's made my skin feel smoother than ever, the pimples are still there. Also, they tend to leave temporary red marks that last anywhere from two to six months. Because I have been breaking out more than usual, these red marks have been accumulating.

Has anyone found a good way to combat these kinds of pimples? My skin is very fair, so it's rather noticeable. Last night I went out and bought Clearasil Ultra Acne Clearing Scrub, which has made my skin feel really soft. I'm also switching from liquid to mineral concealer, in case the liquid clogged my pores. I'm taking vitamins A and E, as they are good for your skin.

I just started all this recently, so could it be that I need to get the pimples that were beginning to form before I started out of my system before my skin finally clears?

Thanks!

face cleanser for sensitive skin. please tell me of your must haves when it comes to skin care?

I have pretty good skin. I hardly get pimples or anything like that but I have noticed that when I use certain face cleansers like clean and clear exfoliating wash and morning cleansers it makes my face start to peal. I am currently using my daughters Aveeno baby wash for sensitive skin (she has slight eczema and its the only thing that seems to work) So anyway.... I am thinking that the Aveeno baby wash is probably not giving me the "cleanse" i should be getting. I also use my daughters Aveeno baby lotion or the Vaseline lotions and it seems like that has been something that has tamed my dry skin. I do wear a dept store moisturizer at night and during the day. I tried using Oil of Olay moisturizing cream but it made my face feel tight and dry.
I also tried using the oil of Olay toner but it only made my face itchy and tight. I want to make sure I am taking good care of my skin. I am 23 and I am starting to see fine lines under my eyes, on my forehead, and some crows feet. I also have horrible dark circles under my eyes that seem to work with any concealer. I do drink plenty of water (2-3 liters a day) and I wear SPF, sunglasses, and hat when I go out. I don't really wear much makeup either. Just some tinted moisturizer, bronzer, blush and mascara and eyeliner when I feel like I need the pzas. '

If you could give me some face wash, and eye cream suggestions I would really appreciate it. I know that retinol (which is vitamin a) is great for wrinkles but I am currently 4 months pregnant and well I'd rather stay away from retinol right now.

Any natural remedy for dark circles around the eyes?

I would like to know what are the stuff that have worked the best for "you". Some people say almond oil, tea bags, rose water, vitamin E, eye cream, cold spoon.
I am not interested in concealers. I just want to know if there is something that can improve the appearance of hereditary dark circles. Thank you in advance for your help.
I get enough sleep and use a good concealer.

What is the best thing to remove/cover up acne for 10 year olds.?

Hi,
I'm 10 and I have some acne and pimples on my face. I am not allowed to use things that are chemicals, like proactive or whatever. I really need like a home remedy for it. If it can remove or cover them up would be great. I use Cover Girl Concealer but, I don't really like it. I also use Vitamin E cream that stops pimple/acne spread but doesn't make them go away. Please, please help me. Thanks! :)

What kind of cream/lotion do you use for under your eyes?

My under eyes are very sensative and get irritated pretty easily with most products. I was wondering what you guys use as a cream/lotion to nurish your under eye area?

I need a good one to put on before applying my concealer, but can't seem to find any good ones! I plan on trying it out on my skin before I buy it too, just so I know it doesnt irriate me.

I would prefer something I can get some Sephora, as I go there every weekened :] I love that store.
Or like, Macys/Nordstroms.

Thank-you!

Oh, and what should you look for (ingredient/vitamin wise) in a good cream/lotion?

What works best for dark circles under the eyes?

I'm only 12, but my under-eye circles are dark, and embarrassing. I can't go out with makeup or concealer on, and because of it I've became so insecure about my eyes. What do you guys recommend for me to do? Frozen tea-bags? Vitamin k cream? If so, are they any brand names that'll work well, and won't harm sensitive skin? Thanks.

Best type of concealer to cover up scars?

I have a really deep scar on my face that I would like to cover up completely. I use Mederma and a type of root daily to help make the scar disappear. In the past, I used Vitamin E. I also use tinted moisturizer and bare minerals when I go out, but my scar is still visible. What is the best type of concealer that I can use to cover up my scar so that it is invisible to others?
