Are you aware that frowning uses more muscles and causes more strain on them than smiling? But even smiling will not prevent the development of wrinkles on your forehead.
Forehead wrinkles are one of the deepest wrinkle lines you will ever get. They usually betray the natural aging process we will inevitably experience. Being the deepest, forehead wrinkles are also the most difficult to treat. In worse cases, surgical procedures are required.
Forehead wrinkles run horizontally across your forehead. They are also present between your eyes and the top of the head. Most routine facial expressions cause their eventual development. Other leading factors that contribute to this skin condition are collagen loss, accumulation of toxins in the body, too much exposure to direct UV rays of the sun, unhealthy diet, insufficient water intake and lack of ample sleep.
In worse cases, cosmetic surgeons would require surgical procedures to immediately address it. Face lifts are done to stretch the skin layer on the surface which eliminates the appearance of wrinkles. This may be costly to some.
Others also resort to Botox injections. Botox is a purified form of the botulinum toxin which, when injected, acts as a barrier to the nerve impulses that allow you to contract and stretch skin muscles. When there are lesser muscular contractions on the forehead, the dermis is given sufficient time to regrow and regain its firm and elastic properties. Note that only experts are allowed to do this.
Improper application may lead to extreme numbness and temporary paralysis of the muscles because Botox is essentially a toxic substance.
Phenol is also used for chemical peels. This type of peel is the deepest peel available so far. A specific mixture is applied to the affected area and, when removed, it carries away the old and dead skin cells. Many experts, however, consider this only as palliative measure. It does not totally address the root causes of forehead wrinkles.
However, a little extra research reveals that there are far countless and equally effective methods and techniques that will help you prevent the early development of wrinkles of the forehead. Among these are the following:
1. Huge intake of foods rich in anti-oxidants. Anti-oxidants help our body fight free radicals that damage cells and tissues. They also inhibit oxidative process and provide extra protection against the harmful rays of the sun.
2. Vitamin P. Also known as hesperidin, vitamin P is a citrus bioflavonoid that gives strength to the blood vessel linings. It makes the vessels strong and elastic. Remember that good blood circulation is essential in the delivery of much needed nutrients that aid the body to regenerate new cells. It also allows ample supply of fresh oxygen and helps get rid of more toxins stored within the cells and tissues.
3. Chrysin. It is a naturally occurring flavone which is extracted from the blue passion flower. This has anti-inflammatory property. Tissue inflammation causes damage to the cells and inhibits the replenishment of newer ones.
4. Avoid synthetic protein injections. Protein injections that are synthetic are known to cause various side effects and unwanted skin rashes. There are ongoing studies conducted on the effects of synthetic protein injections on certain skin cancers and rapid accumulation of free radicals in the body.
5. Use only all-natural skin care creams. Nothing is better than going natural. Ingredients extracted from plant and animal extracts without preservatives have proven to be equally successful in addressing wrinkle problems.
Besides, these fight the root causes of wrinkle causes by supplementing the vital nutrients required for the production of collagen and elastin. Look for products that contain adequate amount of Cynergy TK, Hyaluronic acids, Naro-Lipobelle H EQ10 and Phytessence Wakame.
Combine these techniques with rigid discipline and regular discipline and you can say goodbye to your forehead wrinkles.
