Happiness. Sadness. Fear. Anger. Disgust. Surprise. Contempt. Those are the seven universal emotions that our facial muscles display to the world. Additionally, there are hundreds of micro-expressions that our 43 facial muscles also reveal. With all that flexing and furrowing, it doesn’t take long to develop stripes across our foreheads that mark us like a soldiers’ rank.
The forehead is particularly susceptible to wrinkles because it is an area of the face that utilizes a great deal of repetitive motion. This is why horizontal lines can appear on someone as early as their teens. Whether you are in your 20s, 30s, 40s, or more, those forehead wrinkles can show up to age you at any time. So what can you do to reduce and prevent them?
Here are some simple tips to smooth your forehead:
FACIAL EXERCISES
One of the most natural ways to get younger-looking facial skin and reduce wrinkles is to firm and tone your facial muscles using facial exercises or facial yoga. These exercises, when done correctly and regularly, help tighten and strengthen the various muscles of your face, which will really minimize wrinkles and lift up saggy facial skin.
To reduce forehead wrinkles, lower your eyebrows while pulling them together, then lift them as high as possible and as far apart as you can. For best results, repeat 3 or more times, several times a day, every single day.
HOLLYWOOD SECRET – FROWNIES™
Frownies are small adhesive patches that help reduce wrinkles and frown lines. Simply wear them around your mouth and forehead while you sleep to gently train your skin muscles to relax and prevent sagging. A word of caution – the adhesive may irritate sensitive skin.
USE A PRIMER
A primer, such as Colorescience Pro Face Primers, improves the color and texture of skin, and smoothes your complexion by filling in fine lines and wrinkles. Apply a primer before your foundation to prevent make up from settling in to lines and accentuating them instead of concealing.
LINE-PLUMPING CREAMS
Moisturizers with peptides or retinol and retinoids stimulate collagen to plump skin. GM Collin’s new Phyto Stem Cell+ Serum can be used day and night to firm skin. For strictly overnight, GM Collin’s night care cream, Retinol Advanced + Matrixyl + Q10 is the most technologically advanced night cream on the market. It visibly reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles without risking irritation.
LIQUID FACE LIFT
Injectables such as Botox™ and Dysport™are surefire forehead smoothers with results lasting up to 6 months. For especially deep lines, dermal fillers such as Juvéderm or Restylane may be needed (results last up to a year).
Of course, a balanced diet, plenty of water, regular exercise, and proper sun protection all contribute to healthy skin!
