The forehead is one of the most visible areas of the face: it is where our expressions are formed, between surprise, happiness and anger. But it is on the forehead that the first wrinkles appear, due to skin aging . Horizontal wrinkles, frown lines or imperfections, the forehead undergoes many changes. So how can we meet the specific needs of the front?
Forehead wrinkles
Forehead wrinkles are the typical example of expression lines. They are formed during repeated contractions of the occipito-frontal muscle and the eyebrow muscles. What does this look like in practice? Every time you frown or raise your eyebrows, occasional wrinkles appear. The more expressive you are, the faster wrinkles appear!
Furthermore, wrinkles appear naturally with age: around the age of 25, the skin begins to lose 1% of collagen each year. This loss of collagen thins the skin, causing it to lose volume and results in progressive thinning of the skin with age.
The lion's wrinkle
Also called the frown line, the frown line is another expression wrinkle, located between the eyebrows at the end of the forehead. The frown line is the one that gives a little severe look to our faces... On the same principle as the frown line, this wrinkle becomes more pronounced each time you frown. However, it is rarer than frown lines and generally only appears around the age of fifty.
The tendency of the forehead to imperfections
The forehead is part of the T zone: the skin in this area is traditionally oilier than the skin on the rest of the face. We therefore tend to see more dilated pores at the base of the forehead, and small imperfections may appear. It is also often the first area of shine on the face: rather than a glow, it is easy to appear “greasy”.
Meet the specific needs of the front
3 main solutions are available to you to smooth forehead wrinkles and blur imperfections: intensive facial gym sessions, a personal and regular facial gym and suitable cosmetics . We advise you to do all three at the same time for maximum efficiency.
The Lift treatment or the Korean Lift treatment both relax the facial muscles. They work the skin tissue in depth and on the surface to smooth wrinkles and expression lines. The Korean Lift has the particularity of applying the Ruby Cell treatment, a concentrate of active ingredients such as ceramides or plant stem cells which act at the source of wrinkles to refine and smooth the skin's texture.
If you want long-term effects, 5 minutes of facial exercise every evening is enough to see noticeable results:
- For frown lines , take your gua sha or your fingertips. After applying your cleansing oil, take the wavy side of your gua sha. Pass it horizontally so as to go in the opposite direction of the wrinkle. Manually, place one finger on the right corner of the start of the nose and another finger above the start of the left eyebrow. Make an S shape with your skin by running your fingers inwards.
- For forehead wrinkles , take your roller or the tips of your fingers. After applying your cleansing oil, take the gua sha slice. Pass it horizontally from right to left to go in the opposite direction of the forehead wrinkles. Manually, move your thumb back and forth vertically, from right to left on the forehead.
Regarding ingredients that slow down skin aging , look toward bakuchiol , peptides or treatments rich in vegetable oils. The bakuchiol in our anti-aging booster accelerates cell renewal while the peptides stimulate collagen production. Moisturizing creams with a rich texture help nourish the skin and restore volume to the skin texture. If you also have some blemishes, our purifying lotion enriched with niacinamide , tea tree oil and AHA effectively prevents acne .
