What should I do to get rid of that line and keep wrinkles from appearing? I'm considering retinoids and botox.

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

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.
