When we think of forehead lines, we usually think of men deep in thought or completely perplexed. Although forehead wrinkles in men can be caused by repeated facial expressions, they’re usually a result of the normal aging process. So the only way you’re going to get rid of forehead wrinkles 100% is if you find some magical way to time travel. Fortunately, there are some less drastic – and more realistic — ways to delay forehead lines and minimize their appearance. The professionals at 360skin.com are here to help you  looking years younger:

1. Invest in a men’s anti-wrinkle cream. It’s an obvious step, but one that many people fail to follow. Advanced anti-aging ingredients like retinol have been shown to effectively reduce wrinkles and restore skin’s elasticity. By applying an anti-wrinkle cream on a daily basis like Image’s Ageless Total Retinol A Cream, you’ll improve your skin’s appearance and ward off free radical damage.

2. Stop making “that face.” Your Mom was right when she said “if you don’t stop making that face, it’ll stay that way”…                      Like I mentioned earlier, repeated facial expressions may contribute to forehead lines so it’s important that you avoid squinting and other expressions that cause unwanted lines. That doesn’t mean you should avoid expression emotion 24/7. It just means that some expressions – like squinting – are easily preventable (e.g. get new glasses) and should be avoided.

3. Throw out those cigarettes. Yes, quitting smoking is easier said than done. I’m not saying it’s a simple task, but you’ll be doing your skin – and the rest of your body – a tremendous favor by taking steps toward breaking this terrible health habit. You don’t need to quit cold turkey – simply decreasing the number of cigarettes you smoke in a day can help.

4. Get enough antioxidants. Needless to say, your diet plays a huge role in your skin’s health. Antioxidants are critical to fighting off free radicals, which can prematurely age your skin. Up your intake of fruits and veggies, omega-3 fatty acids/fish oils, and get a full spectrum of anti-aging nutrients. A good multivitamin helps as well.

5. Stay out of the sun. Direct sun exposure can speed up the development of wrinkles so it’s important you use adequate protection. If you plan on being outdoors for a while or if you live in a hot climate, an SPF 30 men’s sunscreen is a must have. I’m a big fan of Murad’s Perfecting Day Cream SPF 30

6. Don’t pick at that acne! Picking at acne on your forehead can easily lead to scarring, and it can damage the underlying skin structure. Instead of popping pimples, a face wash with salicylic acid will help eliminate pimples within 48 hours. I really like CLEAN & CLEAR 3-IN-1 FOAMING ACNE WASH

We’ll talk a little later on about more advanced techniques like chemical peels and microdermabrasion and hydrodermabrasion.
