Chemical Peel for Lines Around Eyes?

I'm 20 and have lines around my eyes. I have fair, kind of dry skin, though I never go tanning, wear sun block, get plenty of sleep, use lotion, etc. Yet I have these intense lines around my eyes! I feel like they are worse than most people's my age and are reducing my self-confidence A LOT. Should I get a mild chemical peel? I know it's not a permanent solution, but at least it would give me a chance to start anew and undergo a better skin care regimen.
