Severe wrinkles at 21

[clarityb]

I have always taken pristine care of my skin. I am a very health conscious eater, and drink plenty of water. I do not consume alcohol or caffeine on a regular basis. I protect my skin with a natural 50 spf religiously. I cleanse with a completely chemical free cleanser, and moisturize regularly with unprocessed virgin coconut oil. I never moisturize with products containing mineral oil, fragrances, propylene glycol, etc. I don't even use shampoos, conditioners, or body wash that contains anything that might be remotely harmful to my face, because I have truly disastrous skin. Not only do I have deep wrinkles beneath my eyes, on my forehead, and around my mouth, but as of the last year I have developed adult onset acne as well. I don't understand, while my girlfriends are slathering themselves with baby oil and roasting in the sun, I'm the one with premature wrinkles that make most people think I'm closer to 30 than 20. I come to this forum begging for any advice someone may have about my condition. I have gone to at least 10 different dermatologists who have done nothing but prescribe creams that exacerbated every problem I have. Please, help.

I am going through the same thing. I have adult acne, coarse dry hair, which i didnt have before and thinner nails and skin. I also bruise easily, which i didnt before. Have you found out whats wrong? This is probably the same thing. Ive gone to several drs with no luck. They say its all normal. Please help

Bless your heart.  I know exactly what you are going through..  I've looked older for a few years.  My skin is real dry and all the top layer seems to have gone crosshatched.  I did abuse the tanning bed in my 20's and now being 32 it seems it is showing up.  My skin all over my whole body is crosshatched, like where every single line in the skin is realllllll deep.  In my 20's i had people tell me my hands looked old, but other than that, they said I looked 18 until a few years ago.  It's like it spreads.  Now it's my whole body.  Dermatologists just say is sun damage but I know it's something internal.
