How to Get Rid of Forehead Wrinkles

Repeated facial expressions lead to wrinkles over time. The forehead is particularly susceptible to wrinkles, because of the variety of muscle movements. When we are surprised, worried, upset, happy or mad, our foreheads move, and wrinkles often become apparent. You can get rid of forehead wrinkles through different treatment methods.

Things You'll Need

• Wrinkle-treatment cream

Instructions

1. Apply wrinkle-treatment cream that contains hydroxy acids to your forehead daily.

2. Drink at least 64 oz. of water daily. If you consume lots of caffeinated beverages, increase your water intake.

3. Ask your dermatologist if Retin-A would be a good choice for you.

4. Talk to your dermatologist about Botox injections, which temporarily paralyze the muscles that cause forehead movement. If you wish to maintain the results, you must receive new injections every three to six months.

5. Use chemical peels that remove the top layers of skin. Discuss the type of peel that might be appropriate for your situation with your dermatologist.

6. Talk to your doctor about cosmetic surgery.

Tips & Warnings

• Wear sunscreen religiously. The sun is a major cause of wrinkles, so it's important to protect against future wrinkling. Wear sunscreen daily and a broad-rimmed hat on particularly sunny days.

• Eat a well-balanced, nutritious diet. Proper nutrition is key to young-looking, radiant skin.
