Today, I realized that at 20 years old I already have noticeable wrinkles around my eyes. But to balance it out, my chronic acne keeps me looking youthful. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I’m at that glorious age where I have to pull apart my wrinkles to get at the zits hiding inside. FML
Today, I looked at my face to see if my new age-defying lotion was working. My skin does look younger, it's covered in pimples like a teenager's. FML
Today, I turned 37. My acne turned 24, my eating disorder 22, my chronic digestive issues 35 and my insomnia 16. My boobs, on the other hand, look like they just turned 60. FML
Today, I noticed that my acne has gotten so bad, I can see it out of my peripheral vision. FML
Today, I found myself admiring my eyelids for being the only parts of my face not covered in acne. FML
Today, I discovered my first wrinkle at the same time as my millionth zit. FML
Today, I realized that being chronically stressed since I was 12 has made me look older than I am. I used to be the youngest looking kid in my high school. That lead to me being ignored and mistaken for an innocent kid, causing me stress. As a 25 year-old adult, I work my ass off just to survive, causing me stress. FML
Today, I've got so many pimples in my face, I could actually fill a bucket with my own pus. I'm 25. FML
Today, I realized that I can't shave my unibrow because I have too much acne on my forehead. FML
Today, I'm a 20 year-old guy, and my 52 year-old mom has aged really well and looks around the same age as me. Meanwhile, I'm aging poorly and fear that I may soon look as old as she actually is. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Sunglasses can help you not squint and slow down crow's feet. I would suggest stop laughing but there's not fun it that. Moisturizer, sunscreen, there are plenty of things on the market for combination skin. Gotta take care of yourself, right?

Laughing doesn't give you wrinkles, that's a myth...

yes it does

Looking young is over rated. I use to get carded everywhere I went. Until I grew some grey in the beard. It's experience marks.

They make you unique. One day the acne will clear up, but the wrinkles give you character. Embrace it.

I can't grow a beard, yet I have the silly "tuft" of hairs between the eyebrows thing going on unless I pluck. Additionally, I'm the proud owner of a single giant nipple hair that's at least four inches long (with no other chest hairs in sight). Don't worry, OP. Our bodies are conspiring against all of us.

Oh OP that's perfectly natural. If you have acne issues, like many, you should see your dermatologist. And as for the wrinkles, I'm sure they're not that noticeable. But if you're really worried, you can always ask help from a specialist and purchase a product that really works for your skin.

Coconut oil moisturizes and has antibacterial properties Use it on your face and wear mineral makeup which helps also

That means you smile a lot. Don't worry it gets better. At 37 I still get acne and have wrinkles AND I'm fighting age spots. Go to your doc and ask about Spironolactone. It helps with acne. Also proactive solution works pretty well. Good luck.

You can try roaccutane it's pretty heavy so read everything carefully before you trie it. I used it some years ago and worked really great. Let me now if you have questions about it.

A little acne cleanser wouldn't hurt and the wrinkles I am not sure about that...
