Forehead lines - help!

Colinthedog · 24/07/2021 16:16

I’ve developed really obvious forehead lines that are starting to make me feel self conscious. I’m 39. I’m not really wrinkly anywhere else, but I have a habit of raising my eyebrows (I do it all the time!) which I assume is the culprit. I’ve even thought about getting a fringe cut back in, but I’ve had one in the past and my hair isn’t really thick enough. And I like my hair style at the moment and don’t really want one!!

I’m reluctant to go for Botox, at least not yet. But does anything else actually make a difference? Has anyone had any success with any beauty products or treatments that have made lines a lot less obvious? Or do I need to accept that Botox is realistically the only way to go if I want to improve the appearance of my forehead?

Although sometimes I leave it longer over lockdown last year obviously didn't have any.

Sorry @troppibambini6 I didn’t mean to be shitty, you do look great. I just have no idea really what your wrinkles looked like. My head definitely does the same when I raise and furrow my brows!

No it's fine didn't think you were being shitty!!Smile

If your problem are frown lines, try Frownies. They work very well and are v. cheap.

Thinking of getting some Frownies but Amazon reviews are very mixed. Anyone used them and can post before and after pictures?

@Miseryisabutterfly

So basically Botox equals no expressions whatsoever. I would very much like to eradicate the pesky line between my eyebrows but I don’t want to stop the rest of my face from moving.

Op I’m sure you’re your harshest critic.

Botox is a spot treatment!

You could do the furrow between your brows and that's the only frown you wouldn't be able to pull, it won't freeze the rest of your forehead or any other part of your face.

I have heard that Botox just creates new lines in other places as you sort of compensate?
