Wear sunscreen every day. The main cause of frown lines is sun exposure, so wearing a sunscreen on your face that is at least SPF 15 will slow the formation of these fine lines or deep wrinkles.

Apply moisturizer to your face daily. Massage an anti-wrinkle moisturizer into the areas that frown lines form twice daily after washing your face. Look for ingredients in the moisturizer such as vitamin A, vitamin E, ferulic acid and vitamin C.

Place a small piece of scotch tape horizontally in the middle of your forehead while at home. This will discourage you from naturally frowning while not paying attention.

Get plenty of rest. Stress is another leading cause of wrinkles, and getting a good night's sleep will help cut down on the stresses of the day.

6
Quit smoking. Cigarette smoke breaks down collagen, the substance in the skin that gives it youthful elasticity.
