How do you take care of wrinkles on your face? Since it is so stressful to see the wrinkles especially around my eyes these days, I want to know what I should do with them or what products I should use for them.

I simply avoid looking in the mirror. Problem solved.

I have a friend who has spent long periods over many years hot climes, so her face is full of wrinkles. She is not happy with them and spends a fortune on skin treatments, but still looks the same to me.
I have fewer wrinkles but havnt been to the places she has seen, and I rather wish I had.
Aren’t wrinkles inevitable?

my wrinkles take care of themselves and. are coming along nicely smile

I am convinced that feeding your skin just attracts wrinkles to congregate like collagen vampires, sucking you dry. Skincare addicts should just say no to cracks.

Wrinkles got no care and attention whatever from me , so the deprived starvelings packed their eye bags and left for richer pickings; not so much as a line to say goodbye.

I don't care, you can't miss what you never had.

I've watched some extraordinary TikTok reels of Aussie ladies having face lifts in Thailand & they look good! I noticed most of the women were extremely wrinkled even in their 50s so I guess many of us in the UK or colder climes are lucky in the skin department, despite us moaning about the weather!

Some wrinkles are inevitable in the end, but people who don’t sunbathe or smoke or live in cooler climates are less likely to get very many.

Yes that’s true.

I was served in a shop today by a very young girl. Her hair was dyed jet black; she wore heavy black eye make up and her eyebrows were heavily pencilled in and looked very thick and black. She had a thick layer of foundation on and it was not a good look.
I couldnt help wondering what her natural face looked like under all that stuff.
I wouldn't worry about a few wrinkles, I think we look better than she did, and she's probably 50 years younger than most of us.

I've noticed this in young women caked with heavy make up and they obviously don't need it.
It's just " the fashion" I'm afraid. In the 60s we wore a flesh coloured , pale lipstick. My friend's mother always said that we all looked as if we'd had heart attacks.
