Question: Should i start using anti-aging products as a teen?

I'm a 15 year old girl and i take very good care of my skin. I have a morning and night routine. I use Alba botanica sea mineral cleansing gel (is a natural product), Alba botanica sea kelp facial toner (Natural product), and Nivea classic cream (that i have been using all of my life). I exfoliate my skin once or twice a week (St. Ives apricot scrub but looking into Alba botanica facial scrub which is a natural product) and i use a mask once a week or less (Alba botanica and again, natural) . I use an SPF of 50 Broad spectrum everyday if i go outside. I eat a lot of fruits and drink a lot of water. Do you think i am doing things right? is there a need of using anti- aging products at my age? Or should i just keep doing what I'm doing? One more thing, I don't use any makeup either.

Stick with the healthy eating and the water consumption is A+ Do not use Anti-aging products! At your age, by the time you are forty, fifty, and so on it'll take it's toll on you and your skin will get to the point where it's dependent on the product and without it you have a way higher chances of becoming..... loose and wrinkly :o( Herbal and natural all the way

If you like your routine, that's fine, some of those are over the counter products and may not be avail when you're older. I understand your routine, but all those TV products, steps 1,2 and 3 are way too many for me. I've been using Retin A, Dove Soap(cause it removes makeup)and Benzoyl peroxide 10% past 30 yrs. I don't use extra SPF products, I don't mind a bit of sun, but usually avoid it. I like Bare Minerals mineral makeup for me, has natural spf in it. Have done Ogagi Nuderm and blue peel at 6 wks yrs ago , have done laser and 1 touch up,in past 2 yrs, other than that, nothing, skin is fine, also have good genes on my dads' side, and don't smoke..
