Hey friends! Today we’re going to talk about the headache (literally) of forehead lines.
Do you look in the mirror every morning and notice those lines getting deeper and deeper? Don’t panic, there are some simple things we can do to make them fade or even disappear!
How do forehead lines get there?
First, it’s important to be clear about the type of wrinkle. There are two main types of forehead lines:
Dynamic lines – those that appear when you make an expression (e.g., raising an eyebrow, frowning).
Static lines – they stick around even when you’re expressionless.
Causes of formation:
Age: loss of collagen and elasticity of the skin.
Too much expression: love of eyebrow raising and frowning
Dehydration: Skin is dry as a desert, lines are naturally noticeable.
Sunscreen not done: UV rays are the number one killer of skin aging.
Staying up late and under stress: dark circles and wrinkles’ best friend.
Well, knowing the causes, the next step is to be specific.
