I'm 27 and Motherhood Is Giving Me Wrinkles!

I'm 27 and have noticed since my daughter was born that I am getting fine lines around my eyes, mouth and forehead. Any suggestions on a good moisturizer that will help with the lines? Not sure (since I think I'm pretty young) what to use because I never had this problem before!!!!!!! I think not getting any sleep and stress has finally caught up to me.

A.,
I am a mother of 3 and I can tell you I have tried EVERYTHING...expensive products, inexpensive products, natural, and un-natural (lol), but I read this once in beauty secrets book and it has totally worked for me. Of course, it's not like botox, but preparation-H has worked as a night moisturizer around my eyes and forehead. I know it sounds crazy, but try it and see what you think. At $3 a tube, it is definitely economical!

Are you drinking enough water? It's important to moisturize from within as well as from the outside.

I've used lots of stuff, but mostly Olay products. Now that I sell Shaklee, I'm using their products which are paraben-free.

No wrinkles so far and I'm 45. Of course now that I said it, they will probably show up tomorrow. :-)

Yep, motherhood will do that to you! I will be 31 tommorrow and I still remember the day that I looked in the mirror and noticed some wrinkles and gray hair! I screamed when I was in the bathroom and my husband came running in yelling "what is wrong!" That was when I was 28! I use Neutragena light moisterizer, I like it cuz it's not real heavy and greasy. Oh, by the way, I have a 6 year old son and 18 month son, and the wrinkles and grey just keep coming!

I really like Mary Kay's Timewise. I have dry skin and it works really well!

Olay Regenerist is your friend.

make sure your moisturizer has sunscreen in it too. Check the Environmental Working Group cosmetics database for ratings based on the ingredients to help you find a good product that is not harmful.
