k_c100 agony auntBeing thin doesnt mean you are more likely to get wrinkles but being thin does mean that your wrinkles will show up more clearly on your face and they will be more visible than if you were slightly heavier.

Thin people dont have much fat on their faces which means there is no layer of fat to "plump" the face out. Basically fat fills the wrinkles! So I guess you should try and put on a little more weight if you can by increasing your portion sizes and just generally eating more! This will help your face to fill out and disguise those wrinkles!

Other tips to stop the onset of wrinkles is to always moisturise every day, with a proper facial moisturiser. This keeps skin hydrated and supple. If your eye area is the problem then maybe buy an eye cream too, and massage that gently in small circles around the eye area. Smoking is one of the worst things to do for wrinkles, so if you do smoke then you need to stop! Dont go out in the sun too much without suncream on, try and buy a facial moisturiser that has an SPF already in it (most creams do these days) and that will help keep those damaging UV rays off your face.

Unlike satindesire said, you dont have to wear only mineral make-up. Most foundations have SPF in them, whether they are mineral based or not. I use a L'oreal liquid foundation which has SPF 15 built in and that seems to work just fine for me!

Just try and put some more weight on if you can, if you struggle with this then I suggest you see your doctor who will be able to help. Drink lots of water, moisturise daily, dont smoke and wear a moisturiser with a biult in SPF (it needs to be 15 or higher to protect your skin properly!)

I hope this helps and good luck!

You should use some olay regenerist facial wipes. They really work and the proper way to use them is to wipe your face upwards not [downwards] because it sags your face

Some people are just more prone to getting wrinkles faster than others, like how some people go gray at a young age. Most of them are just laugh lines.

Try some of the hydrating creams that are out on the market, they do wonders for softening the skin, they won't go completely away, but they'll smooth out a little and won't look so pronounced.
