Best Anti-Wrinkle Creams for Smoothing Forehead Lines
Learn from our Lancôme experts how to find our best anti-wrinkle cream and tackle those pesky forehead wrinkles.The first signs of aging may be subtle, like a rough complexion, visible pores, or tiny lines around your eyes. In Malaysia's humid climate, these signs can appear sooner due to increased sun exposure. Forehead wrinkles that once vanished with facial expressions might become permanent. Fortunately, it’s never too late to address these aging signs. By understanding the common causes of forehead lines and using the best anti-wrinkle cream for your skin type, you can effectively reduce these creases.
What causes forehead wrinkles?
The biological process of aging, which affects all skin layers, combines over time with physiological alterations due to environmental factors, eventually becoming visible signs on the epidermis. Aging can be divided into two categories: intrinsic (natural) aging and extrinsic (environmental) aging. Intrinsic aging includes smile lines or eyebrow creases. Extrinsic aging is influenced by high exposure to UV rays without adequate protection, pollution, smoking, and alcohol consumption. These environmental factors can accelerate and aggravate the natural aging process more than genetics. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is essential to slow down this process.
How can you prevent or minimise wrinkles?
To prevent premature wrinkles, use a high-quality anti-wrinkle moisturiser to keep your skin hydrated day and night. In Malaysia, where the sun is intense, daily SPF protection is essential. Adopt safe sun habits: seek shade, avoid peak sun hours (10am-2pm), and wear protective clothing and sunglasses. Staying hydrated and maintaining a balanced diet also help in keeping your skin youthful.
For those with visible forehead wrinkles, Lancôme offers effective solutions. The Rénergie anti-wrinkle cream range is ideal for reducing wrinkles and firming sagging skin, making it perfect for Malaysia’s humid climate. Rénergie works best for wrinkles with a loss of firmness due to its dual action. The Absolue anti-aging skincare line also diminishes signs of aging with advanced technologies and luxurious textures, ensuring deep hydration and rejuvenation.
How do day creams and night creams differ?
There are several reasons why moisturizing creams are labeled for morning or nighttime use. This differentiation is due to the active ingredients, SPF, and viscosity within the formula.
Day Creams
Day creams are typically formulated with SPF, adding the benefit of daily sun protection to your beauty regimen. They are also developed to pair well with makeup products, providing a hydrated, smooth canvas that’s primed and ready for foundation, concealer, or a product of your choice.
