I have a somewhat unusual problem. I have acne, but not severe. I also am getting wrinkles, even though I'm only 16. I was wondering if anyone knew of anything I could use to help with the wrinkles that won't make my acne worse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Do you use a sun screen?

Not yet, but I'm planning on getting some soon.

Unfortunately I have not been able to find a good acne bar that is not tested on animals. Right now I'm using neutragena, which is not only tested on animals but is also not very good. However, I've heard that Lush's Coal Face bar is good, and I think I read somewhere that they do not test their products on animals. I'll be giving this a try soon, but it's a bit pricey so if anyone knows of a good alternative do tell me.

Lush products in general are really good for skin, all are veggie and a lot are vegan and no, there is no animal testing anywhere at all.
They make an SPF 14 face moisturiser called Ultralight which is super and I used to use coalface, but now use Ocean salt (and exfoliator) and Mask of Magnaminty. The staff are always helpful and if you mention your skin is difficult they will often give you some free samples to avoid laying out loadsa dosh straight away.

For an occasional boost, they make a facemask called Ayesha whihc is full of lovely stuff but they also say it gives a temporary 'lift' to skin so might help with a special occasion if you're worried about any wrinkles you think people might notice.
