Hydration plays a major part.
When it comes to your skin care routine, there’s a chance that one of your goals is to keep your skin looking as youthful as possible — and forehead wrinkles most likely don’t play a part in getting that fresh look. While fine lines and wrinkles are a fact of life (and it’s totally okay to have them!), many people aren’t looking to emphasize them.
7 Tips to Prevent Forehead Wrinkles
While you can’t completely make forehead wrinkles vanish, there are plenty of ways you can help minimize their appearance.
1. Keep Your Skin Hydrated
Dry skin is caused by plump skin cells turning into shriveled ones, which can then lead to fine lines and wrinkles. Something as simple as dryness could be the source of your biggest skin care concern — and that’s an easy fix.
Using a daily moisturizer that fits your skin type, will keep your skin hydrated and can help to temporarily mask tiny lines and creases.
Beyond using moisturizer to stay hydrated, you can also use moisturizing creams that are specifically formulated to help with the appearance of wrinkles.
2. Start an Anti-Aging Routine
There’s no time like the present to start an all-over anti-aging skin care routine. The Mayo Clinic states that as you get older, your skin naturally becomes less elastic and more fragile, produces fewer natural oils, and loses fat in the deeper layers of the skin. This can all result in more pronounced lines and crevices, and your forehead isn’t excluded, so this may be your sign to start an anti-aging routine. This will help treat any forehead wrinkles that you currently have, and a consistent routine can also prevent more lines from showing up.
3. Grab a Vitamin C Serum
There are many anti-wrinkle skin care products on the market, so it’s important to scope out ones that are formulated with ingredients that can best address your skin concerns. Vitamin C is an antioxidant that can help protect skin cells from the damaging effects of free radicals.
4. Don’t Skip SPF
The Cleveland Clinic states that excessive exposure to ultraviolet radiation (too much sun) can result in premature aging of the skin, which includes unwanted wrinkles. To help prevent sun damage on your skin, the American Academy of Dermatology recommends using sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 in addition to taking other sun protection measures.
5. Use Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid is another ingredient to look out for when on the hunt for products to help with the appearance of forehead wrinkles. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), hyaluronic acid has been shown to be effective in decreasing deep wrinkles and enhancing skin’s firmness and elasticity.
6. Try Face Yoga
While your facial expressions might cause wrinkles to appear, face yoga is a technique that can help reduce these negative effects. There are many different poses and exercises involved in facial yoga that target specific wrinkles. Facial yoga isn’t just exercises, though — you can also try face massages that can help stimulate your muscles, skin and lymphatic system. Try massaging your face with a gua sha tool — before you start, apply a face oil so the tool can glide more easily.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, in order to see results from doing facial exercises, you have to be dedicated to a nearly daily routine that lasts 20–30 minutes each.
7. Add Retinol to Your Skin Care Routine
Retinol is one of the star ingredients to help fight wrinkles. If you’re looking to even out your skin tone, reduce wrinkles and achieve younger-looking skin, there’s nothing like retinol to help with that. According to the NCBI, retinol can significantly reduce facial wrinkles and increase epidermal thickness ( plump up your skin and boost collagen production) after four weeks of use.
