How to keep wrinkles away and keep skin youthful - for 20 year olds

Wrinkle your forehead to see if the fine line deepens. If it does, then you are right to assume that the line is a result of your facial expression. Over time, if you continue to make the expression, the fine line will become deeper. A neurotoxin, such as botox or dysport or xeomin, will paralyze your muscles and keep you from making the expression.

Botox for forehead wrinkles

Thank you for your question. This early wrinkle is from motion of the muscles on your forehead.

Young but never too early to ward off wrinkles

You are young but it is never too early to start the fight against the aging face. Most important is to wear sunscreen every morning. It also would be good to start with a retinoid at night.

How can I treat horizontal forehead wrinkles?

Given your age, I would treat them with either Botox or Dysport to relax the muscles that are causing them. I would also recommend polarized sunglasses so you dont squint as much (Costco has great ones). For topical products, look at mine Scienltificskin.com. A lifting serum with retinol will help to minimize these wrinkles. I would also recommend that you use sun protection whenver you are outside.
