Ok. So I am 20...and you may probably think it's all in my imagination that I have fine lines around my eyes...but seriously it's there.
i wear a product at night that my derm prescribed that contains very drying ingredients like sulfur, talc, alcohol, etc to help dry up oil. It's a white mixture and so when i put it on at night, i am careful not to put it too close to the skin around my eyes. however, i have been noticing for years that the skin around one eye has been developing fine lines....to the point where it is obvious now that when i smile, one eye has a lot of fine lines underneath while the other eye doesn't. last night i noticed that i put the white mixture a little closer to the skin around one eye then the other and that is the eye that has the fine lines. so, i guess because of the 5 or so years that i have using this white mixture, the skin around that one eye has been very dry and when making facial expressions or smiling for all these years, fine lines started appearing.
seriously, its very noticeable. you can see the asymmetry when i smile and it really, really bothers me. i try to take such good care of my skin and it makes me mad that these fine lines are my fault. now, i don't even want to make big facial expressions for the fear of making it worse....and that's no way to live. i want to smile and show joy and happiness without worrying about my face!
what can i do now? i want to prevent them from becoming static fine lines that r always there even when i don't smile or make facial expressions. my facial skin and the skin around my eyes feels tight and its because of the anti-acne products i use, but i NEED to use them.
should i use an eye cream with AHA? any reccomendations??
any help, advice, thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
