Age Sensitivity?

I've been thinking about age a lot lately, and it's been really bothering me. I am only 20 but even the slightest sign of a fine line under my eyes sets me off into a silent panic.

Do any of you late-teens to mid twenty year olds worry about aging?
What steps do you take to prevent aging?

Its been on my mind also. I cleanse, moisturise with a SPF, apply sunscreen to my chest, arms & especially the hands (if the sun is out & I have my hands up on the stering wheel of my car while driving I don't want the sun to damage my precious hands lol). I exfoliate once or twice a week, regular home pedicures mainly to keep my feet soft, cuticle oil on my nails so they don't dry out. I give my skin a rest from makeup every now & then.

Smoking is a age killer. So I'll never go there.

I don't worry to much about aging, but thats easy to say now because I am only young. I'm trying to enjoy it while I can :)

Having a good beauty routine is so important while your young...thats what mum tells me :p

Welcome to the effects of media on society and what I like to call the vampire complex; people wanting to age without appearing to.

It's disconcerting to see the trend that used to be the domain of those in their 30's and 40's move into the 20's and even late teens. There was a thread on here a while back about young folks and fillers.

I don't think many people are in a hurry to look aged, but the fact that it's so common to hear about this widespread fear and anxiety over aging is bizarre to me.
