The forehead constitutes a good portion of your face. Its skin is often exposed to excessive sunlight and it is usually overlooked by many when applying cosmetics. This neglected part of your face frequently suffers from premature aging as a result.

Very common sources of complaints are brown spots. They are essentially sun damage. You may know them as freckles when you are younger, but they get darker and more prevalent as you get older.

Horizontal forehead lines are also of great concern. They appear primarily from our forehead muscles contracting when we raise our eyebrows. This is just part of our normal facial expressions and a completely paralyzed, expressionless forehead appears rather unnatural.

There are, however, simple adjustments that can be made in order to ameliorate the appearance of aging skin on the forehead area.

The first thing to do about the rise of brown spots and age spots is to prevent more of them by regularly using sunscreen. It should become a habit for everyone alike even on those days when the sun seems to be weaker or is hiding behaving the clouds. The damaging effects of sunlight exposure continue to accumulate even on this type of weather. Make sure you use a sunscreen that also protects you from UVA radiation. It should contain at least 5-10% zinc or titanium. Do not forget other very simple measures such as wearing a hat!

There is some controversy regarding the use of over-the-counter “bleaching” creams. If your age spots are recent and not too dark sometimes you will see a temporary improvement. However, these “bleaching” creams are 2% hydroquinone. There have been questions raised about the safety of hydroquinone in Europe and the European Union has banned this substance in many countries.

Drugstore “bleaching” creams will cost under $50 and take effect in about 30 days. Prescription bleaching creams are usually 4% hydroquinone and will cost under $150, with some insurance plans covering them. Hydroquinone should be used for no more than 3 months unless under the care of a dermatologist.

There are many other options regarding the lightening of the skin that can be explored before resorting to more drastic measures. Some of them are chamomile, extrapone nut grass or lemon extract. Do not just jump on the Botox bandwagon. Though popular there are many side effects associated with its use and some of them are very serious.

The main weapon to combating forehead aging is to boost your body’s levels of collagen and elastin. These are the skin proteins responsible for younger, fresher skin. The best way to do this is through diet, a healthy lifestyle and the regular use of proven, natural cosmetics.

The benefits of using natural clinically tested and proven all natural skin care products are many and the side effects very much appreciated. Your skin will look better everywhere. Your overall health will improve as well as your stamina and mood. These sure are changes that everyone can easily live with!
