I'm in My 20s — Why Do I Already Have Wrinkles?

You’re only in your 20s, and your skin care routine is already failing to keep up with the appearance of wrinkles on your skin. Why is this happening? The good news is that you can find answers, as well as helpful treatments and skin care tips, at Lasercare Skin Clinic.

Dr. Bruce Sanderson and tour team provide skin care and anti-aging treatments to patients in their 20s and 30s and beyond from our Little Rock, Arkansas location. We partner with you for life-long anti-aging and skin rejuvenation support.

Even if you’re still several years away from your 30th birthday, it’s not too soon to start paying attention to wrinkle formation. That’s especially true if you’re already starting to see wrinkles when you look in the mirror. Here’s what you need to know about premature wrinkles, early signs of aging, and getting started with anti-aging skin care.

Why you might be starting to see wrinkles in your 20s

Everyone’s skin is different, including how early you start to show wrinkles. You may have dry skin that shows wrinkles relatively early in your life. Dynamic wrinkles appear in parts of your face where repeated muscle movements cause skin creasing, including stress, smile, and forehead lines. 

Your personal habits also affect the appearance of your skin. Staying out of the sun, using sunscreen, and avoiding smoking all help your skin look youthful. However, if you spend a lot of time tanning, smoking, or stressing, your skin can start to tell the tale with prematurely visible wrinkles.

Genetics also plays a role. Your unique genes dictate when your collagen and elastin stores start to wane and when wrinkles appear. 

What you can do to get rid of premature wrinkles

When you notice early signs of aging, take action to restore and rejuvenate your appearance. Early treatment can help slow the development of dynamic wrinkles, and you can use many strategies to improve your skin.

Some simple lifestyle changes can make a big difference in your skin’s freshness and fullness. Effective sun protection, quitting smoking, and finding the right skin care routine for your skin type can all help restore your skin to looking as young as it should.
