Is it normal that i am afraid that i wont have a baby face forever ?,my face is starting to have more skin problems like pigmentation , acne and brown spots , i used to have the problem years ago but now it's even more of a problem, , so that doesn't make a face youthful (although i cover my imperfections with makeup), but what i am afraid is that my features on my face will mature and that i wont have a baby face anymore , or is it if a person has a baby face she/he will have it forever ?. I am in my late twenties , and i still look young , but don't know to what extent do i look young.

    Hey there!
    Growing old, and maturing into someone with a few years behind them is no bad thing. Actually, It shows wisdom, it shows brilliance, and most of all it shows experience. However you look...is that really so important? Perhaps it's the person inside that matters - not the outershell.

    Anyway - to answer your question - 'baby faces' are not something you have, so much as something you think, or maybe others tell you that you have. When a face has lines, marks, imperfections, scars, warts, cuts, grazes, blemishes or simply smooth layers of skin, it makes you no less beautiful than before. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so the saying goes - in other words, only you truly care what you look like.

    There's no need to cover 'imperfections' with makeup - it'll only give your face an older, more worn and thicker appearance; plus damaging your skin and therefore introducing a haven for acne, freckles, and blemishes to grow and spread.
    Instead, perhaps you could try using coconut oil: it costs around £13.00 in the UK, 17.00€ in the Eurozone (having said that, I only know about Ireland) and in America...I should imagine it would be affordable...maybe $25.00, $30.00. It's expensive, but a whole jar lasts for over a year, sometimes more.
    It comes in a tub, looking like a hard, white butter. Make sure you don't ask for cocoa butter - ask in store for COCONUT OIL.
    Then, follow the facial massage created by London facialist Vaishaly Patel, explained below.
    1. Dot the oil all over your face, using fingertips.
    2. Using the pads of your fingertips, massage the face with firm, circular movements (this helps with circulation and lymphatic drainage, while helping to disperse any congestion under the surface of the skin). Start from the chin and jawline and work upwards: most women rub in products downwards, which is the direction we don't want our faces to go! Don't forget the super-tight muscles on the side of the neck, and work up behind the ears too.
    3. When you reach the eye area, firmly 'sweep' your fingers along the browbone, in one, continuous stroke, moving OUTWARDS and the UNDERNEATH the eye TOWARDS the nose. This will not stratch the skin as the product you are using will provide lubrication. Repeat two to three times. As well as being relaxing, this technique will help to drain any fluid build-up, boosting blood flow and feeding oxygen to the eye area.
    4. Finish off by massaging the forehead, working from the middle of the forehead out to the temples.
    This literally does give you stunning skin, smooth as a baby's behind as it smells ultra nice too! After two or three weeks, or perhaps a month, there will be an amazing diference and no need for makeup to disguise 'imperfections'.
    Note - coconut oil is actually a food product, so look in food stores as apposed to drug stores.
    Good luck!
