[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The most important thing you can do - after the obvious no smoking, Retin-A at night, sunscreen during the day -  is Botox.  Do small amounts of it and start early on.  Do it twice per year.  If you're starting to get the slightest hint of 11s or horizontal forehead lines, start getting Botox injected there.  It will have a preventative effect.  A lot of us started Botox too late.  I wouldn't worry about fillers.  I think 20s is way too young to start fillers.  They can really make you look crazy over time.  They're also more expensive and more medically risky.

You will get way more bang for your buck out of Botox, generic Retin-A and sunscreen than you will out of all the, say, Drunk Elephant or Skinceutical products you can find.  You don't need that stuff.[/quote]

Sort of agree sort of don't.  [b]For Botox, you should be going at least three times a year.[/b]  It wears off in 3-4 months.

Not everyone can tolerate retin-A...so in that case, for retinol and also for sunscreen, I do think DA and Skinceuticals make the better products.  Add in hormonal skin issues like cystic breakouts that can appear in your late thirties, and absolutely those high end brands make a difference.[/quote]

NP.  I'm only one data point, but I started at 25 for super strong crows feet and I only went every six months.  By mid-20s, even strong lines aren't usually etched.  It was 10 years before I needed to put myself on an every 3-4 month schedule.  If cost is an issue for OP, I'd start Botox every 6 months.  It is better than nothing.[/quote]
