Nobody is happy about wrinkles or fine lines on the forehead, but it seems to be fairly common. There are a number of theories about just why there are so many people with wrinkly foreheads. You should find these theories interesting.
Habitual Facial Expressions
Frowning, smiling, squinting and other expressions that make us human can leave an imprint on the skin. Crow’s feet and wrinkles around the eyes are known to fade away after Botox injections. Botox is a poison. The type that is used by cosmetic surgeons is a much milder poison that paralyzes tiny facial muscles. Since it works it seems to support the theory about wrinkles being caused by habitual facial expressions.
On the other hand, we make those same expressions throughout our lives, but it is only as we get older that we start to see permanent lines on the forehead. So, there must be something else going on.
Poor Hydration
Poor hydration or excessive dryness has been blamed for stretch marks during pregnancy and sagging facial skin. It is true that many people overlook the importance of a moisturizer. You should pick a good one and use it after every bath or shower. Some of the best moisturizers will help reduce lines on the forehead and other parts of the body, but not simply because they improve hydration.
Stress, Smoking Sun Damage
When the body is under stress or you don’t sleep well, excessive amounts of the stress hormone cortisol is produced. Cortisol damages collagen fibers. Smoking increases stress, even though smokers say that they do it to relax. It increases the heart rate and the blood pressure, which causes chain reaction that contribute to the production of cortisol.
When the skin’s cells are exposed to cigarette smoke or UV rays from the sun, the free radicals within them become frenzied. Antioxidant molecules attempt to neutralize the radicals, but if the exposure continues, the antioxidants lose the battle. When that happens, the free radicals damage cellular membranes, DNA strands and collagen fibers.
Damage to the cellular membranes may or may not be that important, depending on which kind of cell that it is. If it happens to be one of the stem cells responsible for producing new cells for the skin’s epidermis, then it’s important. Damage to DNA strands means that new cells are not exact copies of old ones. Damage to collagen fibers means, saggy, wrinkled skin. Of all of the theories concerning why people get lines on the forehead and on other areas of the body, dermatologists now believe that free radical damage makes the most sense.
Luckily, free radical damage can be repaired with the right antioxidant-rich creams. Volunteers that used creams containing coenzyme Q10 saw a 30% reduction in wrinkling after only six weeks of use.
The outermost layers of skin are completely replaced every four to six weeks. So, with a little help, you could start to see a reduction in lines on the forehead in less than two months. I think it’s worth the wait. Don’t you?
