Raising your eyebrows, concentrating, squinting or frowning – whenever you move your face, your forehead muscles contract. After years of frequent contraction, combined with environmental and lifestyle factors such as exposure to sunlight, smoking and pollution, lines and wrinkles begin to form.

The main cause of forehead wrinkles is a decrease in the production of collagen and elastin in the skin. These proteins are responsible for our skin’s elasticity, but production drops as we age. The main factors responsible for the development of forehead lines include: stress, sun damage, smoking, drinking alcohol, dehydration, genetics.
