Wrinkles are folds or creases that appear on the skin due to a variety of factors. These include lifestyle, diet, the natural aging process and overexposure to the sun. Wrinkles that appear on your forehead are either a series of horizontal lines below the hairline and across your forehead or vertical lines in between your eyebrows. These types of wrinkles affect both women and men and can make you appear old, especially if you have too many wrinkles. Luckily, there are several methods you can apply to eliminate these types of wrinkles.
Step 1
Apply an exfoliating cream on your forehead. These creams work by dissolving the surface layer of your skin, which contains dead skin cells. When purchasing an exfoliating cream, make sure it has the potent ingredient alpha hydroxyl acid (AHA) complex. This ingredient can gradually diminish wrinkles and help your skin absorb anti-wrinkle creams.
Step 2
Apply a high-quality anti-wrinkle cream on your forehead after using the exfoliating cream. These creams work by eliminating the outer dead layer of your skin while hydrating and plumping it up to help smooth out wrinkles. Results can be seen after about one month. However, once you stop using it, the wrinkles will return, so this can be very costly depending on which cream you buy. Consult the pharmacist in the drugstore and ask which anti-wrinkle cream is best for your skin type.
Step 3
Get a chemical peel to eliminate your forehead wrinkles. An acid solution such as trichloroacetic acid is applied to the forehead to dissolve the outer layer of your skin down to the wrinkles. Your skin will begin to redden and peel after the procedure, and new skin will form in about two weeks.
Step 4
Consider getting brow lift surgery. This procedure is designed to elevate your forehead and remove excess forehead skin to smooth out the wrinkles. Brow lift surgery can be costly depending on the surgeon, location and operating room fees. Make sure you consult with several cosmetic surgeons and check their professional fees before undergoing this surgery.
Step 5
Apply sunscreen to your forehead and face when doing the aforementioned treatments. Sunscreen will help moisturize your skin and prevent further wrinkles. Buy sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 and above and apply it 30 minutes before heading outside.
Step 6
Do facial exercises every day to help eliminate your forehead wrinkles. Place your fingers just below your hairline and firmly push your forehead upward. Now try to frown and hold for 10 counts; repeat 10 times. You should feel your forehead stretch when you try to frown.
