Sometimes forehead wrinkles and expression lines just won’t go away!
Besides injecting Botox into your face, what else can be done that will actually work?
I’ll talk about a great firming treatment that can get rid of expression wrinkles, fine lines, and deep creases.
Before I do, let’s start with 3 anti-wrinkle techniques you can implement today.
- Change sleep position. Who likes to wake up with a big crease down the side of your face? Sleep on your back and you will see the benefits the next morning.
- Avoid the “worry forehead.” Watch those unintended expressions. We can be frowning, squinting, or crinkling our foreheads without even knowing it. It becomes a habit that will cause a wrinkle and deepen a crease. Be conscious about these habitual expressions and try to let your skin relax.
- Practice facial muscle exercises. Ok, don’t do this in public. Actually don’t admit to anyone that you do them at all! Strengthen the tiny muscles in your face that keep your skin looking tight and smooth. You can do this by putting your two fingers between your eyebrows and pulling down. Resist your fingers by flexing your forehead muscles.
Now we can get to the wrinkle relaxing ingredients that work!
Boosting collagen and elastin is what is necessary to keep your appearance free from forehead creases and expression lines. Collagen is like a cushion underneath the skin and elastin is the rubber band that keep it pliable and reactive.
Many ingredients claim to positively benefit collagen. Let’s talk about the 2 that are proven.
Vitamin C – Besides being the most important anti-oxidant for the health of your skin, it is an excellent collagen booster. A high dose Vitamin C cream should be part of your daily regimen and will likely go a long way in preventing wrinkles.
Derma-peptides are a group of active peptides that may help reverse expression lines in several ways.
- block enzymes that break down collagen
- promote collagen production.
- Bundling your collagen in more uniform fashion to smooth out inconsistencies.
There are many skin enhancing peptides on the market. BioRenew mainly focuses on 2: Palmitoyl Tripeptide-3 and Tripeptide-10.
The Activated Firming Plasma contains a 3% mixture of Derma-Peptides. The feedback for this product has been stellar and it continues to be one of our top sellers. Don’t be surprised if you see instant results and the benefit will only increase over time.
What is the best way to use a firming serum?
Most firming serums should be applied directly after cleansing your skin. Allow the lightweight gel to completely soak in before following up with a moisturizer. Failure to do this could result in reduced absorption and a clumpy finish.
If you have dry skin, we carry a kit with a good moisturizer to keep your skin soft and firm.
You want to follow up the treatment with a good broad spectrum anti-aging sunscreen as well. UV damage plays a major role in destroying elastin and collagen on the forehead and around the mouth.
There are many sunscreens out there and not all of them will protect you. Want to learn how to pick the right sunscreen for your aging skin? I’ll talk about that next.
