When should I start using anti-ageing products?
I am 24.
Which ones do you recommend?
Hi Alex,
I started using Oil of Olay in my early twenties.I'm now 51 (Gasp horror) and I now use creams suitable for my age ie Nivea DNA cell renewage.I was recently told I only looked about 38 (I'm not being bigheaded here ,in fact it was quite embarrasing) that was by some other women who were in their 50's as well. But I eat healthily ,I've never smoked and I exercise regularly.I also think it has to do with your genes.My mother is 83yrs old and only a couple of years ago she said to me "Look at the wrinkles on my face" of course I had to laugh and said "Mum you are in your eighties what do you expect?"Any way stop worrying,that way you will not get any worry lines. Enjoy your life and like yourself for who you are.

I use Olay first defence, that is made for people in the their 20′s and 30′s. Im 29. Its great, light and doesn’t block pores.

I read the other day that you shouldnt start using them before 30 otherwise your skin can become greedy for them. I recommend clinique

In your thirties but if you’re 24 then you should use a good cleansing and moisturising system for your age group. I like L’Oreal myself.

Its never too soon!! (I’m 32) – its a really personal thing, just get loads of free samples first and see what you like – my personal favorite (at the moment) is the decleor range. Smells beautiful and i swear you can feel it working!!

You don’t need them, you currently spell like you are 7.

You can’t prevent aging.
You have 2 choices:
1) go over the hill
2) get buried under the hill.

I firmly believe that you should start in your twenties. I also recommend Clinique as it’s the only product I’ve used that lives up to its claims. They have a 3-step skin care regimen that will leave your skin glowing and pave the way to aging with grace.

Hi Alex – I think you should start using them when you feel you want to start, dont think theres a set age. Im 26 (nearly 27) and just yesterday noticed Im starting to get fine lines around my eyes – guess I smile too much lol! As for brand etc, I think theyre all much of a muchness but one thing to consider is if you have sensitive skin, look out for the light / sensitive skin version of your chosen cream. I have sensitive skin and find Nivea is just lovely. :O)
