Since your forehead is exposed to the sun, make sure you’re protecting it with sunscreen. You can even get a moisturizer that contains sunscreen in them, a hat or a face cap can also help protect your forehead from the sun.

  1. Avoid smoking to slow down ageing:  Aside from the health problem caused by smoking, it also ages your skin faster, leading to more wrinkles on places like your forehead.
  2. Reduce your stress to avoid wrinkles: When we get stressed, we tend to squeeze up our faces.  Try to find other ways to get distracted from what is stressing you out. You can meditate for just a few minutes, close your eyes, and focus on your breath.
  3. Eat a healthy diet with lots of vegetables: To keep your skin healthy, make sure you eat a variety of vegetables every day, avoid white bread, canned foods, processed meats or hamburgers, try the chicken, eggs, or beans instead. Get calcium from other seeds or supplements to support skin health.
  4. Drink alcohol in moderation to protect your skin:  Moderate drinking is no more than one drink a day for most women, and two for most men. Drinking excessively dehydrates your skin and speeds up the wrinkling process.
  5. Facial yoga for forehead wrinkles.: Make a C shape with each hand around your eyes, like binoculars. Pull the skin of your forehead down with your index fingers while raising your eyebrows.
