Frown lines form as a result of repeated contractions of the muscles of the face, in particular the muscles of the glabellar region, which lies between the eyebrows. Over time, these muscle movements due to your facial expressions lead to the formation of wrinkles in the upper layers of the skin. Besides frequent frowning, excessive sun exposure to UV rays can also influence the formation of these vertical lines.

Facial exercises or facial massages can help to reduce tension in the facial muscles, particularly the glabellar lines. You can repeat exercises every day for the best result after you apply your skincare products. Reducing muscle contractions minimizes the appearance of frown lines and relaxes facial muscles.

Skin type plays an important role in the formation of frown lines. People with dry skin tend to have early wrinkles, while oily skin types may have some resistance to frown lines.

However, whatever the skin type, regular skincare to maintain good hydration and preventative measures are important to minimise the formation of deeper wrinkles.

Apart from anti-wrinkle injections of course, hyaluronic acid treatment, microneedling, facial massages or specific anti-ageing moisturisers with retinol can help to improve skin quality.

A facelift is another method, but a very radical one. Before taking the plunge, we recommend that you seek the advice of a specialist.

Free radicals contribute to premature skin ageing by causing damage to the skin's layers. This can accelerate the formation of frown lines. Using moisturizers with antioxidant properties and sunscreen can help neutralize free radicals and protect the skin against the formation of fine lines and wrinkles.
