   Anti aging cream? No way! You're young, plus that stuff doesn't really work anyways.If you want to avoid wrinkles, wear sunscreen, even in the winter. Tinted moisturizers usually have SPF in them.As for skin care, it really depends on your type of skin. At any age, but especially in your early 20s, everyone's skin is different, so it's hard to give you an answer without more specifics on your skin. Exfoliating is good (face wash with grit-like texture in it), as is oil-free moisturizer.

   definitely start the anti-aging stuff *now* — i'm 53 & generally taken for late 30's – early 40's. because i'm so fair-skinned, sun always meant sun-burn, so even when being brown was the rage and nobody knew to worry about skin cancer, I wore hats and the biggest, darkest sunglasses I could get. I credit the sunglasses for the missing squint lines and crow's feet around my eyes. smoking is also very aging — the pursed lips leave you with a lot of little vertical lines and wrinkles around your lips, and as you age, they lead to lipstick "bleeding" and your lips looking thinner, which is a sign of age.so several of the measures/habits you can use are free.

   I'm also 23! I wouldn't use anti-aging stuff now unless you feel that is a concern already.I try to keep things simple so taht my skin can breathe and be its youthful self. I feel too much product irritates my skin and ages it faster!I use: Rareminerals facial cleanser and Rareminerals moisturizer. I used to use Bliss Fabulous Foaming Face Wash and Best Bath Store's Shea Butter in the summer but for winter i switched mostly because I needed a more intense moisturizer. The cleanser though is veyr nice and mild.Korres Pomegranate Scrub. This stuff is amazing. AMAZING. I look forward to using it every 3 days or so (since it's an exfoliating scrub you should be using it as your skin can tolerate it…most people just once a week) and it leaves the skin so soft and smelling oh so good! Toner is clinique clarifying lotion 2. If I get acne (only around my period or when i'm stressed) then I use Mario Badescu's Drying Cream. Works overnight.

   Gentle cleanser and moisturizer with SPF 30 or higher. Seriously. The SPF is the best anti-aging stuff out there – especially if you start young. Keep well hydrated as well.
