How old is my forehead?

I'm increasingly bothered by my creased forehead. How old does it look??
The lines are so deep! Am I beyond help??

It’s impossible to say without seeing the rest of your face!

DrFoxtrot · 24/06/2022 21:30

I haven't got any lines and I'm 44. But I've seen lines like this on a 25 year old. So you could be anywhere between 25 and 55.

DrFoxtrot · 24/06/2022 21:30

I'm referencing my own age for comparison but I think you're younger than me.

Idbemonica1 · 24/06/2022 21:31

It looks similar to mine, i"m 51...

I agree with pp, you could be anywhere from 20s-50s! Lots of young people have lines.

crossstitchingnana · 24/06/2022 22:38

I have no lines on mine and I am 54. I have them in other places though!

JLwac · 24/06/2022 22:38

38

BeautyGoesToBenidorm · 24/06/2022 22:44

I've got those and I'm 38. Loathe the buggers!

RausageSoul · 24/06/2022 22:45

Lines mean absolutely nothing, it's necks and hands that age people

WTF475878237NC · 24/06/2022 22:48

My sister had lines that deep at 20 something so no idea.

Foreheadwoes · 24/06/2022 22:59

😩 I'm 37
I'm not even that lined elsewhere on my face which makes it weirder.

Is it too late for botox? Is my forehead just going to sort of crease into itself like a pair of Nora Batty tights?

I'm 39, my forehead isn't nearly as creased. My younger sister is jealous of my smooth fod.

HOWEVER - I have very wrinkly eyes, and the one time I posted my face on here, I was judged to be around 42 when at the time I was about 34.

So don't sweat it Grin

SirChenjins · 24/06/2022 23:22

I’m similar @ChiefWiggumsBoy but I’m a lot older at 53. No lines whatsoever on my forehead but I certainly them around my eyes!

ShirleyJackson · 24/06/2022 23:24

Botox will sort it.

LeeMiller · 24/06/2022 23:53

Mine is worse and I’m around the same age, unfortunately I have a very mobile and expressive face. My solution is a fringe.

LeeMiller · 24/06/2022 23:57

Also, I think many factors affect how old you look, not just skin, so how many lines a particular part of your face has is just one tiny part of the overall impression.

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 24/06/2022 23:59

Just have a fringe cut in- sorted.

EggRollsForever · 25/06/2022 00:02

Botox will get rid of those. I think it is quite ageing and I am surprised by young people having them but everyone is different. I have one horizontal which I call my mascara line because of raising my brow but get botox every 6 months.

KalaniM · 25/06/2022 21:31

Have you properly hydrated and moisturised? I found mAtrixyl was the best thing for forehead lines.

NoToLandfill · 25/06/2022 23:07

Your forehead is completely normal. NORMAL. Every single photo you see is edited.

I've found a serum that blurs the lines, revolution blur serum, I think is the highly imaginative name!

Could you link to the blur serum please?

eurochick · 26/06/2022 08:13

I've had similar lines since my late 30s. No wrinkles elsewhere on my face though. My dad has deep forehead lines so I guess it is genetic.

Delatron · 26/06/2022 12:11

I’ve seen forehead wrinkles like those on 29 year olds and 40 year olds with none (naturally) so hard to age you by your forehead.

I think facial sagging is far more ageing. I have less wrinkles now in that area (thanks to Botox) but still look my age. Need to sort out the slight sag.

Delatron · 26/06/2022 12:11

20 year olds not specifically 29 year olds.
