Got my first facial wrinkle today. I'm not happy.

[LuckyCharms]

I'll turn 63 in a few weeks, and I've remained wrinkle-less until now.

I looked in the mirror this morning, and in one day, a deep fucking wrinkle sprouted from the corner of my lip, ran down my chin, took a left, then headed north. It looks like a goddamn fish hook.

I'm growing my beard back. I can't go around looking like this.

I mean it's OK now because I'm wearing a mask, but when the pandemic ends, I can't be having people refer to me as "ol' fishlips".

1. Spackle is your friend

[LuckyCharms]

2. Good idea! Then, I can just

color it in with a crayon that closely matches my skin tone!

Thanks!

23. There's a "pasty" crayon? n/t

26. The Laura Geller makeup line offers a product

called Spackle.

3. Botox?

It's either that or spackling paste.

ETA: I see someone else had the same great idea.

[LuckyCharms]

4. Maybe.

I have a wad of toilet paper stuck in it right now as a temporary fix.

5. First wrinkle at 63 ??

Are you made of ceramic?

I did have the advantage of several decades of smoking, and the Southern sun, but I started looking like a prune in my 50s

7. I got my first gray hair at age 63

[LuckyCharms]

12. Jesus...

my hair was almost completely white 5 years ago.

[Skittles]

14. I was disappointed

my mum got her first gray hair at age 64

[LuckyCharms]

16. Good genes!

[LuckyCharms]

13. My whole family is like that. My sister is pushing 80

and she looks late 40's.

6. Try staying away from wearing glasses ...

... I didn't see any wrinkles on my face til I started to wear glasses.

[LuckyCharms]

10. No kidding, I actually tried that...

but you can see this thing from a mile away. I kept looking at it because I didn't know what it was. I thought I had some kind of medical problem.

[marble falls]

18. The one between the eyebrows? That's the only one I'd consider surgery on!

[Hoyt]

8. It gets much worse. Wish I could be more positive.

[LuckyCharms]

11. I think that wrinkles look distinguished, but

this thing looks like I was in a hatchet throwing accident.

[Harker]

24. You said, "hatchet throwing accident."

17. Since my college mascot was a pirate

I'll have to sneer for the football game on Saturday to practice for Sunday.

19. Head ASAP to Ulta or your best browser/search engine and

shop for a hyaluronic acid serum that fits your budget and requirements; gentle cleansing with soap and water; the HA serum applied next will plump up the exfoliated surfaces of the skin with assisted moisture retention that will help better hide aging wrinkles. A vitamin C serum is also useful for any brightening; next, your moisturizer with a non-toxic sunscreen year-round and other vitamins A, Bs, and E on top of this to further nurture a youthful appearance. Your local cosmetic plastic surgeon can help with various dermal fillers, chemical peels, cosmetic surgery if and when you're ready and your budget allows. Dermal fillers effect is temporary, but can be on a schedule as unique as the condition of your skin requires; my boss preferred fat transfers back then as the longest lasting. Aestheticians can also suggest products and services to keep your skin at its peak appearance at all ages. Smile more to keep facial muscles strong (note: gravity is not a face's friend and leads to sagging in the fat and follicle layer beneath the surface. Repetition of facial muscle contractions as you speak and gesture effect deep wrinkles eventually. Don't ever smoke or vape (dangerous chemicals/dirt); wear a brimmed cap, and keep out of the sun which dries and oozes radiation that is unkind to your skin; never use a tanning bed. If as you said you have good genes, you'll retain your beautiful skin for many more years with or without a well-groomed beard.

20. Real wrinkles don't respond to OTC serums etc...

Wrinkles generally require some sort of physical treatment such as botox, fillers or surgery.
Fine lines will respond to serums.

The OP is male and is 63 years old.

21. OH, SHUT UP!!! I had wrinkles by the time I was 10. :-)

[smirkymonkey]

22. I still don't have any wrinkles and I'm 58.

I think it's my low stress life-style plus good genes. My parents are very young looking in their late 70's/early 80's. I am considering using retinols though just to keep things that way. I also avoid sun exposure which helps.

25. I started using moisturiser at 13 and am still wrinkle-free today!

Of course I'm only 14 now.
