[quote=Anonymous]I'm 31 and in the past two years I've noticed my face suddenly aging exponentially. I used to look quite young for my age (when I was 25 I remember someone I'd just met being shocked that I was married - she thought for sure I was still in high school), and I'd say I now look considerably older than my actual age (like mid to late 30's). I noticed an immediate decline in my skin after having a baby, and particularly while breastfeeding, but it never rebounded and is getting worse and worse. I'm guessing the main culprits are anxiety, too much sugar (in response to anxiety), not enough sleep (we have a 2 year old who's never been a good sleeper), and careless sunning in my youth catching up with me now. Skin is dull, some splotchy dry spots, some light melasma from pregnancy that never went away (looks like sun spots), lots of fine lines on my forehead, smile lines emerging around my mouth and between mouth and nose, and the very beginnings of crows feet. I can't really change my circumstances much (except for the sugar, which I'm working on), and am wondering if anyone has any tips to help nip this rapid-aging in the bud before it gets too much worse? It's seriously bumming me out. I can't spend much $$$ on treatments, but am interested in hearing about anything that has helped anyone improve their skin and prevent further rapid-aging. [/quote]
