How to smooth and combat forehead wrinkles
Forehead wrinkles are one of the most common skin imperfections. They form part of the so-called "expression lines" and owe their appearance to facial expressions repeated over and over again.
We often unknowingly use facial expressions every day that somehow characterize us, but they can also come to mark our face. That’s why forehead wrinkles can appear on the face as early as age 20-25.
As the skin is still young, these lines often fade on their own, simply by avoiding that expression. But as the years go by, the skin becomes less elastic and wrinkles more pronounced.
Is it possible to prevent this from happening? The answer is no. Aging is a part of life, as is the loss of skin tone and the appearance of wrinkles. With the right tips, however, you can reduce and minimize forehead wrinkles. Here's how.
Forehead wrinkles: the differences
Before defining the main causes of and treatments for forehead wrinkles, we can divide these blemishes into two categories:
- glabellar lines appear between the eyebrows. They are vertical and typical of people who often have a sad, furrowed expression.
- forehead wrinkles are usually horizontal and mark the center of the forehead. They appear on people who tend to raise their eyebrows frequently.
Causes of forehead wrinkles
As we have seen, the main cause of forehead wrinkles is the continuous repetition of facial expressions that eventually go on to mark the skin. There are, however, factors that can lead to a loss of elasticity and make the skin less firm and more fragile. They include:
- skin aging. Over time, the human body naturally begins to produce less hyaluronic acid and collagen, two substances responsible for skin elasticity and firmness;
- exposure to external factors. Phenomena such as photo-aging, triggered by the combined action of UV rays and pollution, can trigger the free radical reaction, with negative consequences for the skin and beyond, regardless of age;
- bad habits. Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can also trigger the action of free radicals, accelerating the aging processes.
Recommended remedies to combating forehead wrinkles
Wherever they appear and whatever the cause, forehead wrinkles can be treated by combining facial gymnastics with an effective daily beauty routine .
The benefits of facial gymnastics
Your face is composed of 36 facial muscles. Just like with your arms, legs, chest and abdomen, you should constantly train them to prevent them from drooping and sagging.
Facial gymnastics also helps to correct and minimize wrinkles on the forehead. You’ll need to repeat the exercises at least once a day, perhaps in the evening, during your skincare routine, and conclude the beauty treatment with a nice relaxing massage.
Beauty routine to smooth and eliminate wrinkles
Facial gymnastics should be combined with skincare tailored to the specific needs of your skin.
A beauty routine should always begin with cleansing your face, neck and upper chest. Next, a serum should first be applied and then a cream, gently massaging the product in circular motions until fully absorbed.
Biotherm experts recommend:
- CERA REPAIR, a cream designed for the needs of younger skin and to combat the first signs of aging. Its formula contains the Life Plankton probiotic fraction, known for its restorative properties, and Bio Ceramides, which protect and strengthen the skin barrier;
- BLUE THERAPY UPLIFT DAY, the lifting-effect cream designed for normal and combination skin. Its formula works on skin tone and firmness, giving the complexion a smoother, softer and more radiant appearance;
- BLUE PRO-RETINOL MULTI-CORRECT CREAM, an anti-aging day product with multi-corrective action on wrinkles, fine lines, skin texture and tone. The pro-retinol and blue algae extract it contains gently exfoliate the skin while nourishing and moisturizing it.
By following the advice of beauty experts, you can give your face a new youthful appearance, visibly diminishing frown lines on your forehead.
