Is it really possible to wake up one day and just LOOK older and more wrinkly?!?

Question

I'm 29 years old. I normally look a few years younger. But I swear that very recently, like within the past 3 weeks, I woke up and noticed that I'm more wrinkly?! My laugh lines around my mouth suddenly popped out at me one day when I was looking in the mirror...and I swear I have pictures of myself just a couple months ago and they're not there! Am I just getting old?? I thought aging sort of gradually came on....not Monday I'm ok, Tuesday I'm haggard. Any one else experience anything like this? I admit my sleep schedule has been jacked up the last few weeks...is it just catching up to me now??

Answer 1

it's probably from not getting enough good sleep. Maybe drinking more water and moisturizing your face would help.  

Answer 2

Wrinkles take time hun...  It's probably the lack of sleep.  If you have been getting more sun than usual, your tan may be making fine lines more visible.

Additionally, if you've changed lightbulbs in the rooms with mirrors, painted walls, or changed light fixtures, this may make your complexion look different and fine features show up differently.

Answer 3

Well darling, wrinkles happen to all of us and we all say the same thing you did. "I woke up one day and there they were".
