anit-age.jpgLaying aside the debate on whether anti-ageing products actually work, I've noticed that opinions vary wildly on when we should start using them for the best effects: even among beauty junkies there's a vast range of views.

I was always of the opinion that I wouldn't bother with wrinkle-busting creams and other 'elixirs of youth' until I was at least in my early forties, but somehow they seem to have crept into my makup cabinet through the back door, and now it feels strange not to see 'anti-ageing' on a moisturiser (I'm 31).

Perhaps worryingly, my own mother often expresses her approval at this turn of events, saying she wishes she'd 'started earlier'.

So assuming these products do give some benefit, what's your opinion on anti-ageing products and the best time to start using them?
