I know you're claiming it's not possible but I'm 38, I've done mostly night shifts and stayed out of the sun, I moisturize religiously and have since I was a teen, and I don't smoke and barely drink (ADHD meds don't play nice with alcohol).
I'm wrinkle-free.
Now compare to my sister, a few years older than me, used to tan growing up by laying out and getting a sunburn, has smoked since we were teens. Insanely wrinkled. Big, deep wrinkles.
This happens. I think the other person was being flippant and dismissive but... it happens!
Sorry, I refuse to believe that you do not have a single facial wrinkle that wasn't there in your 20s or early 30s. I just don't believe it. It's impossible. Perhaps people are misunderstanding me and thinking I mean a shit ton of wrinkles that make you look like you're 80? Because no, that's not what I'm saying.
Not even crow's feet.
I do a facial once a week. I do microdermabrasion once a week. I can't stress enough that I hate the sun. I'm sorry if that isn't your experience, but it happens. I'd share a picture of my face, but I'm trying not to completely dox myself.
