I'm 18, take good care of my skin. Lot of sunscreen/moisturizer/exfoliation/etc. My skin's flawless, but lately I've had major stress/sadness. Recently I don't know how, but I woke up 1 day w/ PERMANENT DEEP 11s b/t my eyes. I'm dealing w/ stress better now, but these 11s have become static, are present when I'm not making expressions.
