Face Changes: Tanning or Weight Loss?
I’ve recently lost close to ten pounds and noticed lines on both sides of my face from my nose to the corners of my mouth and noticed that my cheeks aren’t as filled as they once were, I think they’re called Naso Labial lines? Anyway I read that these are results of aging but I’m only 19 years old and have been tanning for the past about 9-10 months and am concerned that I am prematurely aging, is that even possible for somebody this young who hasn’t even been tanning for a year yet or can this just be caused by my weight loss and if I were to gain some weight back they would go away (I am already skinny so the weight loss wasn’t really necessary) also before anyone gives me lectures about tanning I know that it is bad for you and have already stopped about a month or so ago and now daily mosturize my face, just curious on what caused this and can I fix the problem

I think that the tanning hasn’t been overboard, however – if you tan very often it could be overboard. Tan can help make you look thinner because it creates smoother lines and better shadowing to hide flaws. However, it can also make creases look deeper and darker as shadows are darker. Having lost ten pounds, you may have lost a little fat that was on top of your muscle in your face – puffing out your creases. Losing that fat will cause the creases to go deeper. I’m sure that it’s not really as bad as you think – you just notice it more than anyone else does.
