I do not think I am old at all, but I was told that beginning to care for my skin now will reduce signs of aging 10 or so years down the line. But, most anti-aging creams/regimes are marketed for people who are already in the more advanced aging process.
Any recommendations on some natural things remedies or good RELIABLE skin products for someone my age trying to prepare for wrinkles and such?
Thanks!

1] buy face wash, sunscreen, and moisturizer for your skin type [ normal, dry, oily, combination, sensitive ]
a] good moistuizer brands – Aveeno, Curel, L’oreal, Neutrogena, Olay
2] wash and sunscreen in AM
3] wash and moisturize in PM
4] exfoliate face once or twice a week with apricot scrub
a] I like St Ives
b] do whole body once a week too!
5] add eye cream in late 20s
6] eat well – avoid fried, fast, and junk foods – incl diet junk foods
7] drink 1/2 gallon of water a day
8] take a good multivitamin with minerals every day
9] don’t smoke, take drugs, or drink to excess
10] maintain weight – gaining and losing causes sagging/stretching of skin

Countless anti-aging, and other skin products have been found not to work and to actually harm and thus hasten skin aging. See ## below.
I have had truly remarkable success with this simple,safe, natural treatment using only pure oils and massage. It permanently healed my many skin conditions and gave me an unbelievably flawless, healthy, young looking and vibrant skin. I am often thought to be countless years younger.
Daily thorough massaging with oils feed/nourish skin vital nutrients that benefit it in countless ways. Massaging quite vigorously is even better for skin tightening and firming and giving you a vibrant, glowing skin. Don’t be afraid of doing it vigorously. If done right it is only beneficial as many users on Answers will testify, There is no skin pulling/stretching if tighten it by opening mouth 3/4″ and pulling lips firmly back against teeth. Just doing this and the massage itself exercises/conditions many of face (and some neck) muscles – thus combating their weakening with age which eventually leads to sagging, drooping and in turn wrinkling and lines. Best to do a forward and back vigorous massage. Circular massage will not work.
In just the first few days skin will be much firmer, will visibly tighten, look and feel smoother.
It will totally revitalize and rejuvenate skin and face. I have many testimonials from users who swear by the treatment.
I had great success with olive, almond and grape seed oils – suitable for all skin types and they are perfect, safe natural moisturizers – you will need no other. Only remove any surface excess by splashing and dab drying with tissues. Will not leave face looking oily.
Many sunscreens seriously harm (and thus age) skin. If apply on TOP of oil they do not contact skin. Surprisingly, it is equally effective. I am often in intense sun for many hours and never burn – even using just spf 15.
Review some of my other answers for detailed specific treatments that greatly prevent wrinkles and lines, crows feet, and that can remove or greatly lessen existing ones. Some have testimonials from happy users.
Best find with an Advanced Search “(Mukunda M) massaging anti aging rejuvenation wrinkles lines crows feet skin damage” and other similar searches
