Best Skincare for Forehead Wrinkles

27 January 2025


Best Skincare for Forehead Wrinkles




I treat forehead wrinkles with Botox every day in my busy dermatology practice in Miami. I have found in my 25 years as a dermatologist that you erase forehead wrinkles fastest with botulinum toxins alongside the proper skincare routine. If you get started early enough- you may be able to prevent forehead lines without Botox.



Fine lines on the forehead have many causes, but the most common are sun exposure and loss of collagen. Deeper brow lines are partially due to a lifetime of repetitive muscle movements. If you are in your 20s and you are getting deep lines when you raise your brows, then a combination of skincare that targets forehead lines and botulinum toxins are a good idea. If you do not want to get Botox injections, this blog will tell you how to treat wrinkles on your forehead without getting Botox injections. It is never too early to prevent skin aging, and the very best way to prevent forehead lines is a daily SPF in your skincare routine.




I can help you determine if you need antiaging skincare products and find the best products for your skin type. All you have to do is take our skin type quiz and see which of the 16 Baumann Skin Types you are. Once you know your skin type, you will get list of recommended antiaging skincare products from many different brands to choose from. These products can be used with or without Botox to make your skin look younger.



Get Rid of Forehead Wrinkles




There are several ways to get rid of forehead wrinkles, but the best and fastest is with botulinum toxin A injections such as Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Jeuveau, and Daxxify. However, what if you do not want injections, are afraid of needles, or cannot find a good dermatologist? These are the ways that skincare can help you get rid of fine lines on the forehead. These skincare products can be used with or without neuromodulator (toxin) injections.



Skincare Products




No matter what cosmetic procedures you do, you will only get results if you are on the right skincare. I explain to my patients using this analogy. If you want to lose weight and you go to a weight loss spa, you may lose a few pounds but if you do not continue eating right everyday, the weight will come back. What you eat everyday matters more than the occasional spa visit. It is the same with skincare. If you put the right skincare on your skin everyday, the results add up. All dermatologists agree that Botox works best when it is combined with antiaging skincare products. But which antiaging skincare products work best on forehead wrinkles? I divide the different types of products to treat forehead wrinkles below. These are the same type of products that I use to prevent skin aging of my own skin. (I am a Baumann Skin Type 4)



Antiaging Serums




Antiaging serums to treat forehead wrinkles should be chosen based on which skin issues you have. There are many types of antiaging ingredients to help erase lines on the forehead.



The easiest way to find the right products is to take our quiz. Or if you want to learn more, these blogs can give you more information on how to choose the best antiaging skincare:

Antiaging Creams and Serums

There are many different kids of antiaging creams and serums. How they work depends on which ingredients they have.

These are some of the ingredients in skincare that can help minimize fine lines:

Growth factors increase collagen

Hydroxyacids increase collagen

Retinoids increase collagen and decrease collagen loss

Vitamin C increases collagen and is an antioxidant

Below are examples of good antiaging serums to treat forehead wrinkles:

Hyaluronic Acid Serums

Hyaluronic acid (HA) serums are a type of humectant that works by pulling water to the skin’s surface. Hyaluronic acid is a type of glycosaminoglycan. These serums can immediately improve forehead lines by plumping up the skin. Heparan sulfate analogue in the medical grade skincare brand Sente works in a similar fashion. (Heparan sulfate is also a glycosaminoglycan).

Although these humectants work quickly to get rid of forehead lines, the results are temporary. It is best to use retinol, vitamin C and HA together in some Baumann Skin Types. This is why it is so important to take our skin type quiz and identify your skin type – because there are so many good serums to treat forehead wrinkles- you need our dermatologist’s guidance so you do not waste time and money on the wrong ones for your skin type. It is important for you to understand that HA serums will affect how other products in your skincare routine absorb into the skin.

These are good Hyaluronic acid Serums that may be right for you:

Retinols

Retinoids are the best ingredients to prevent and treat wrinkles. Finding the right one when you are beginning is important. You also need to use them properly to prevent side effects.

These are good retinols for beginners:

Sunscreen

Daily sunscreen of a SPF of at least 15 is critical to prevent forehead wrinkles from getting worse. There are many types of sunscreen. Below are a few of my patient’s favorite daily sunscreens:

Causes

Studies have shown that in forehead wrinkles, the epidermis is thinner and there is less collagen, elastin and tropoelastin. (4,5) Movement of the forehead muscles leads first to wrinkles in motion and eventually wrinkles at rest. Botulinum toxins work by relaxing the muscles and preventing movement which improves forehead lines.

The causes of forehead wrinkles are:

Movement

Free radicals

Inflammation

Sun exposure

Prevention

To prevent wrinkling in your forehead, you want to make sure you are using the correct skincare for your skin type. Using the wrong products can result in inflammation which increases aging and can cause hyperpigmentation. You should definitely use a daily sunscreen. Ingredients like ascorbic acid and retinols can also help.

Shop by your Baumann Skin Type to find the best skincare products to keep your skin looking smooth.

Skincare Routine

Your specific anti-aging routine should be designed around your Baumann Skin Type. In general, anti-wrinkle products will contain lots of antioxidants, hydrating ingredients, collagen stimulating ingredients, and others to tackle the problem of aging from all angles.

The order that you use products in your skincare routine matters. This is why once you take the quiz we give you step by step instructions. Please follow the routine steps exactly because using the products out of order will change how well they work.

DQH Can I use salicylic acid first and then vitamin C? It’s easy to create a skincare routine, but knowing how to use it is another thing entirely. In most cases, if you’re not getting the desired skin results, it could be due to the layering of conflicting ingredients. So, is it possible that salicylic acid and vitamin C are such ingredients? Or are these active ingredients the duo that’s been missing from your skincare routine? If you want answers, stick around because today we are going to explain the benefits of salicylic acid and vitamin C and how they can be used in your daily life. What are the benefits of salicylic acid for skin? Salicylic acid is one of the most commonly used beta hydroxy acids and is favored by many people with oily, acne-prone skin. This acid is derived from willow bark, and unlike its water-soluble relatives (called alpha-hydroxy acids), salicylic acid is oil-soluble, which means it can penetrate deeper into the lower layers of the skin. Once it reaches the lower layers, it can help unclog pores of excess sebum, dirt, bacteria, debris, and impurities. This results in clearer skin tones and greater definition. Not only does salicylic acid benefit the underlying layers, but the outer surface of the skin benefits as well. When applied to the skin, salicylic acid removes the buildup of dead skin cells. This is accomplished by breaking the bonds that hold dead cells to the surface. Over time, this can cause the complexion to look dull and prone to acne, blackheads, and other blemishes. If you’d like to learn more about salicylic acid and how it can improve your skin, check out this dedicated blog post from a beauty insider. What are the benefits of vitamin C for skin? Vitamin C is considered one of the most powerful antioxidants, which means it is very effective at fighting free radicals and preventing them from causing further skin damage. Examples of free radicals include pollution, central heating, UV rays and harsh climate. They attack proteins, fats and cell membranes as soon as they come into contact with the skin, causing signs of premature aging such as fine lines and wrinkles as well as hyperpigmentation, flaky patches of skin and loss of elasticity. Many people usually prefer to use vitamin C in their morning routine as this ingredient gives the complexion a radiant glow. You’ll also find that vitamin C can target areas of hyperpigmentation, plumping the skin and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The thing about vitamin C is that there are a lot of outdated studies going back to the 1950s that describe vitamin C as an unstable skin component. Thanks to improvements in modern technology, this is no longer the case as all products now contain a stable form of vitamin C. Visit The Beauty Insider to learn more about vitamin C. So please check out our blog post. Can I use salicylic acid first and then vitamin C? Yes, you absolutely can. In fact, it’s thought that using salicylic acid before using vitamin C ensures it penetrates faster and works faster. This is an efficient way to utilize two power sources, and the reason has to do with pH. For example, the skin’s natural pH is about 4.7, making it slightly acidic. Salicylic acid and vitamin C are also both acidic, and you’ll find that vitamin C is absorbed quickly into the skin. Therefore, using salicylic acid beforehand can increase the acidity of the skin and allow vitamin C to penetrate into the skin faster. While this is considered an effective way to combine two powerful ingredients, you need to be aware of your skin type and how it reacts to certain active ingredients. Even people with perfect, normal skin can experience skin sensitivity and irritation. Therefore, always consult a doctor or dermatologist before using any new products on your skin. It’s also important to follow skin application rules. In this case, you need to use the product correctly to ensure you get the best results for your skin. If you’re not sure what I mean, the basic rule for skin is to start with the thinnest consistency and work your way up to the thickest consistency. This prevents a barrier from forming on the surface, preventing other active ingredients from penetrating the skin. Can I use salicylic acid at night and vitamin C in the morning? Yes, absolutely, this is considered the most effective way to get returns without any adverse side effects. This is because there is enough time between applications to ensure that the skin’s pH levels return to balance. You’ll also find that Vitamin C is rich in antioxidants and is perfect for use in the morning to ensure your skin is protected and looking its healthiest. Due to the small size of salicylic acid molecules, it is an acid that is able to reach the deepest parts of the skin. While this is effective at keeping skin clear, it also increases the risk of irritation and photosensitivity. Therefore, many people prefer to use powerful BHAs in their evening routine without exposure to UV rays, pollution, or harsh weather. Warning: If you avoid using sunscreen every day, none of these ingredients will do what your skin needs. The combination of chemical peels and powerful ingredients increases the risk of further damage to the skin’s surface. Use SPF 50 every day to keep your skin protected and your lipid barrier healthy, even on cloudy days, keeping your skin in top condition.
