wrinkles
I'm only 14 and I'm already getting wrinkles under my eyes and those "crows feet" at the corners of my eyes! Does anyone know any moisturizer or lotion that will prevent those from looking worse or something?

There is no way you are getting wrinkles at 14. Your skin is still producing collagen and elastin at a high rate. Your skin goes through a process called cell renewal, which is basically your skin's natural way of exfoliating, and at 14, that process is still going strong. Signs of aging, especially around the eye is just not possible for a 14 year old. As you age collagen and elastin production reduces and cell renewal slows, and that is what causes aging. You're not even done growing yet.
The person who said dead skin is the problem and that an astrigent has their facts and skin layers messed up. Collagen strands are located in the basal layer of the skin, beneath the stratum corneum and the epidermis. The base of a wrinkle starts where the ellastin strand breaks and is unable to repaire itself, which happens deeper in the skin.
A feeling of tightness from an alcohol laden astringent is not the same as firming your skin, and actually, people with dry skin (or those who over dry it with harsh astringents) have more wrinkles earlier in life. It is true, however, that a buildup of dead skin cells can make wrinkles look deeper. But again, there is not much chance at all that at 14, you have any actual wrinkles.
It is possible that your skin is very dry, and dehydrated skin doesn't look as smooth as hydrated skin. Try an oil free moisturizer with sunscreen. If you are worried about wrinkles please be aware that 80% of wrinkles come from environmental pollution, the sun, stress, and eating too much sugar, not facial expressions. Wear sunscreen and something with antioxidents *everyday* no matter what and you'll be wrinkle free much longer than your friends who go to the tanning bed.

these are all from cvs so you could most likely buy them anywhere. or something like them. also you could try getting more sleep. wearing sunglasses when its really sunny.. cause squinting causes wrinkles near the eyes.
hope this helped

The key to killing wrinkles is to keep your skin, quite literally, moving. The very top layers of protective dead skin start to stack on top of each other and make wrinkles. I wouldn't recommend any moisturizers because they would only make the wrinkles more apparent. On the contrary, I would recommend some sort of astringent that might hopefully zap your skin tight again. For regular maintenance, you want to exfoliate your skin with some kind of a facial scrub (the kind that feels like you're rubbing your face with grains of sugar). If all else fails, find a product with that has glycolic acid and apply it to THOROUGHLY cleaned skin. Get lots of sleep and wash your face regularly. I'm sure you'll be just fine!
