Only 20 and wrinkles??

I am only 20 years old, and I am noticing little wrinkles around my eyes. I am not a smoker, and I live quite healthy. Is this normal to be only 20 and have wrinkles?
Should I start using anti-wrinkles cream?

Well, usually women in their 20ties, when being 25, some are 20, some are 30, notice their first wrinkles- and yes, first wrinkles appear around eyes and mouth. They are not really wrinkles, more like soft lines. They occur there, because area around eyes and mouth is most active on human face- we express very feeling with mouths and eyes.
Starting with anti-wrinkle cream for younger skin is not a bad idea. Or you could buy yourself anti-wrinkle eye cream, although mostly women after 40 use these kinds.
I am not sure how serious your situation is- do you see wrinkles when you smile? I guess you do- even girls when being 15 do- but do those wrinkles ‘straighten’ when you stop smiling? Or are creases still present? If yes, you could start using eye cream; if not- there is nothing wrong with you, and perhaps you are just being paranoid!

Maybe you lack some vitamins- lack of vitamin E, C and A can cause premature aging, lack of skin elasticity and wrinkles. Check it out with your doc!
