23 years old wanting to start taking care of my skin. Where do i begin?

Question

I’m gonna be 23 next month and I want to start taking care of my skin to prevent wrinkles and other aging things. I have noticed super tiny smile lines on the sides of my mouth when I look closely. 
What skincare products/regimens should I begin with? 
I recently started to use sunscreen when I go outside. I also use the Neutrogena hydro boost water gel cream and the Makeup Revolution vitamin c eye cream. I don’t use them every day mainly because I forget and/or I’m just lazy honestly. 
I have combo skin. My concerns are wrinkles and losing the firmness in my face/getting thin and saggy.

Answer

I swear by sunscreen. I'm 42 and everyone thinks I'm in my late 20's early 30s. Even at the Dr today the nurse said I would have never thought you were 42.  I don't do anything special. Just started using spf on my face when I was 13 cause my aunt said the sun caused wrinkles.  I dont drink or smoke and I exercise.

Answer

I absolutely love the Kate Somerville wrinkle warrior line. It is pricey but worth it, in my opinion. 
Drunk elephant has a vitamin C serum that is amazing for firming. They also have a wonderful retinol cream. 
I have also heard good things about Olay regenerist retinol night cream. Really want to try that! 
I think your regimen is great though! The only thing I would really add is a mask here and there… I like Caudalie glycolic peel. ￼

If you're in the US check out L'bri. They have a 7 day sample you can use to see if you like it.

Answer

Take your makeup off and wash your face at night and use a good moisturizer and sunscreen.  Honestly, I've tried multiple high end expensive skin care lines such as meaningful beauty, Mario tricoci, and rodan and fields.  I've tried department store lines like clinique, boots 7 and Estee lauder.  My skin always looks the same as when I use cerave or Cetaphil to wash and oil of Olay moisturizer.  You don't necessarily need a multi step pricey line if you have good basics.

Answer

moisturising is the best thing to do for wrinkles :) if i were you i’d see an aesthetician to get some good product ideas

Answer

Start with a moisturizer and sunscreen everyday!  I’d suggest looking into a retinol as they help with wrinkles and aging. However, retinol can dry your skin at first so you have to wean into it. Start with a low percentage and use just a tiny amount 2x a week until you have gotten used to it and then wean into using it more. Always moisturize!! A good vitamin C will also help prevent aging and oxidizing. A good affordable brand is The Ordinary. Best advice is to take it slow and don’t use too many products. Also patch test. Good luck! :)
