I,m 41 and hate the aging process. I want to get rid of a few wrinkles around my mouth (from smoking)I know I need to quit and I'm working on that. I smoke far less than most. A few a day.  I also have a few wrinkles on my forehead. I'vetried all kinds of creams and that sort of thing. Now I think I want to go have something done, but what?

Home remdy for wrinkles.\n\nRegular facial is very effective to control wrinkles.\nMassage increases blood circulation, which results in tightening of the muscles and tissues, thereby reducing the fleshiness of the skin and restoring a young look. However, this process is very slow.\nBlemishes and age spots can become fainter by applying lemon juice a few times a day.\nApply a paste of turmeric powder with sugarcane juice to remove wrinkles and to prevent skin ageing.\nCut a Green Thompson seedless grape in half and gently crush it on your face at wrinkles (lines). Leave it on for 20 minutes and rinse with warm water and let it dry in natural air. Wrinkles will disappear.\nRub the core of pineapple on the face for a few minutes and leave for 10-15 minutes. This is excellent for fine wrinkles.\nApply juice of green pineapples and apples the face daily and leave for 10-15 minutes.This is excellent for fine wrinkles and cracked skin.\nTo prevent wrinkles, apply pure castor oil.\nClean the face. Remove make-up to open the pores of skin. Remove oilyness by lime juice or cleansing milk.\nStart the massage from the neck upwards and end at the forehead.\nApplying a good quality cream with a firm pressure with the fleshy tips of fingers. Do not apply pressure around eyses. Continue massage for 15 minutes.\nWipe off the face with a wet cotton.\nFor fast removal of wrinkles, massage with your all the fingers of both the hansd rapidly with rapid circular motion.\nFor wrinkles on jaw, pinch the skin between your thumb and fingers. Pinching is also good if you have double chin.

Oh my gosh, you mean there are others? Are you a pretty pale person like me? I get it a lot. I can get it from really hot (heat hot, not spicy hot) foods too - like soup.  I get it from wine sometimes too. Everyone asks me why my nose turns red.  The dermatologist just said it was blood vessels and due to my skin being so light, it looks a lot more prominent. I find that if I keep very well hydrated, it is a little less extreme.  So glad to know someone else has that problem too!

I quit smoking back in February.  I smoked about a pack a day for years.  During the withdraw I had a headache for 3 days, and I was grouchy for about 2 weeks.  They say you have to replace one habbit with another.  What I did was started sucking on jolly ranchers and chewing bubble gum.  I also started exercising.  I have never felt better.  I noticed a difference in my breathing after only 2 weeks!!  Just hang in there, and the days will pass and you won't even think about it anymore.  It's also great to go someplace and not worry about being looked down on because of being a smoker.

Not very good reasons to start smoking. I've smoked for thirty years and have no will power to stop but I try to stop anyone from picking up this habit. Let me fill you in on what you can look forward to if you start. Smelly hair (shampoo cant compete with the odor of cigarettes)Smelly breath (Listerine only last so long) Wrinkles around your mouth from that oral sensation your talking about.Shortness of breath (so forget any strenuous sexual workout. House smells like a astray no matter how much you clean. Food doesn't taste as good as what it does to you now. Finger tips turn yellow or brown from smoke. Cloths stink after a couple of hours of wearing them. All by the way cigs are four to five dollars a pack but you need to add in the cost to see your doctor because you'll have more colds and sinus problems and your lungs will slowly be destroyed so you'll need inhalers and probably medications to help your lungs function. So if you still want to know best brand let me know and I'll tell you mine.

I had skin peels done at a beauty salon.  Vitamin C creams help as well.  It will go away on its own once your hormones return to normal.  The facials are awesome it uses an acid butif you are nursing you cant do it

Well done for what you have achieved in the past, and what you are trying to achieve now. You should visit your doctor and ask for advice. If given the all clear, remember, it takes time to repair any damage caused by smoking, or inactivity, and also, as with all of us,  we change with age. But you have the benefit of having been athletic. Give yourself time to build up, and take care of your body. You only have one. No one can tell you that you are deluding yourself, but yourself. Most of all, remember that you are already a winner in having succeeded in giving up smoking. Best of luck!

Congratulations on giving up Smoking!!  In reference to everybody else asking what you mean by spotty am I correct in thinking that you mean spots as in on your skin, like acne? Coming from the UK like yourself this is the only conclusion I come to when the word 'spotty' is used! Must mean summit else in other parts of the world? Anyway in reference to your original question, it could be related to giving up smoking ,but then again it could just be a coincidence. Or have you changed the way you eat now, like replacing ciggies with sweets perhaps? Maybe a trip to your GP would help with some answers or perhaps give you something to help? Good Luck!

You could try some of the instant tanning creams. They are not as messy as makeup, and look more natural.

tanning wont really help. i have the same type of problem and its because its hereditary PLUS i have sinus/allergy issues that contribute. cosmetic surgery is out there but not the best idea, in my opinion. cucumbers work a bit especially with any puffiness, as does sleeping well! if all else fails, yup, makeup is always a quick fix

I am about to start Chantix on Sunday.  My doctor told me about all the possible side effects, and did not mention rosacea.  It could be just a brief reaction to the drug, or maybe the mental stress of quitting smoking.  Keep up with it though, rosacea is a lot better than lung cancer.  Good luck and wish me luck too!

Wear sunglasses!!! My mother is 68 and doesnt have any wrinkles, even though people thinks she crazy for always having them on. She puts them on before going out in the sun not while in the sun. That is the best way because you have already started to swint if its not done before going out the door. Hope this makes sense...

That is a beautiful thing....sounds like you are living your life to the fullest, and that's all anyone can hope for.\nIn my late 30's I am still concerned w/ my appearance. I won't lie here, I still check on new wrinkles, grey hairs etc. I am not obsessed mind you, but with each passing day I realize more and more the importance w/ being who I am and not allowing myself to be overly critical of myself. I am much happier as a 30 something yr old than I ever was at any other age. \nI like to think I'm like a fine wine....only getting better w/ age!\nLIVE, LOVE, LAUGH I say!!

there is no such thing as anti-aging, from the moment we are born we age. if you want information about counter-acting the effects of aging then do your searches, but bear in mind chemical and medical 'treatments' all give way to age.

I'm in the same situation as you are. i had a upper denture put in last week and i cant close my lips without my chin looking wrinkled. and if i relax i look bucktoothed too. the first day was the worst but each day it gets a little better. \n\nIve had to go in every day for adjustments its been to painful to even bring up the issue about making it less bulky. I'm calling them tomorrow about that though he mentioned before that he was going to file down the front so it wasn't so full. \n\nafter the gums shrink some and all the necessary adjustments are made i don't think it will be anything like it is now. that's what I'm hoping for. don't worry about it, i think its normal.
