Ok ladies i am 27 and i am suffering from expression lines

...i know they arent quite wrinkles yet but i want to stop them before they turn into such. Im a broke out of work woman at this time(hopefully the place i interviewed with will call me back

). So i read online the breaking open a vitamin e capsule and rubbing it on your face will help so far ive been doing it all this week and it cleared up the expression lines between my eyes where i often furrow my brows to show annoyance(when you have to move back home with mom you do that a LOT lol).

I also read that vitamin c works too..now i have seen vitamin c serums that are CRAZY expensive. I can not afford anything over 10 dollars at the moment(did i mention broke out of work already

) so i have some vitamin c pills left over from last cold and flu season and i was wondering could i take them and crush them make a paste with water or add to fav mask and place on your face for like 30 mins?

No you totally can't crush the pills and make a paste. Not the same Vit C that is in a Vit C serum. You could definately make your own serum and there are lots of links on that. Type in Vit C serum in the search menu. You could also take the Vit C you said you have left over. I take 500 mg in the AM and 500 mg in the pm. For a total of 1000 mg a day of Vit C. I don't just take it when I have a cold. There are so many benefits to taking Vit C than just for a cold.

You could also try a couple eye creams. Here are a couple that I like.
Skin Actives Scientific : Bright-I Cream
Juice Beauty: Organic Green Apple Nutrient Eye Cream - Eye Skin Care Cream

You could also use a little Retin-a. I apply Retin-a all over my face every other night. Great for anti aging benefits.

Welcome. I find it very hard to believe rubbing vitamin E clearing up the lines in a week. Must have been a lack of moisturizer on that area or something.

hmmm will click the links asap ...periwinkle it just cleared up the ones between my eyes lol the forehead lines are still there just not as noticeable. I will def do a chem peel in the future when i find a dang job but until now ill try making my own serum.

Wow! That's a lot of Vitamin C in a day and you take it everyday? Do you know the % daily value it gives you? My doctor told me that some vitamins such A and C can't be taken too much. Otherwise they will cause kidney stones later on.

I don't just take it when I have a cold.

Well I actually found that, and some experts have said that, Vitamin C helps fight the cold. Whenever I sense that I have a cold coming, I take it and if I do it early enough, the cold will be knocked out very quickly.

Find another doctor.

Vit. A is a fat soluble vitamin, whereas Vit. C is not. I think you CAN take too much of the fat soluble vitamins. You will just pee out the excess vit. C and maybe have heartburn taking mega doses!
