Getting Rid of Forehead Wrinkles: 5 Most Effective Ways
minute read

Forehead wrinkles are part of a life well lived. Every smile, raised brow, or squint in the sun adds a bit of character to your skin. However, if you’re starting to notice more pronounced lines on your forehead and want to support smoother-looking skin, you’re not alone.

There are gentle, science-informed ways to help soften the appearance of forehead wrinkles. Whether you’re just starting to notice fine lines or you’re well into your skincare journey, these five natural methods can help you support your skin with intention.

What causes forehead wrinkles?

Forehead wrinkles often start as dynamic lines — the kind that appear when we make expressions — and become more permanent over time. 

As we age, our skin naturally produces less collagen and elastin, two proteins that help keep skin firm and flexible. Sun exposure, dehydration, stress, and repeated muscle movement can all contribute to those lines deepening over the years.*

This is a completely normal part of life. However, if you want to slow the appearance or soften the look of forehead wrinkles, supporting your skin’s structure and moisture barrier is a great place to start.

What are some tips for minimizing the look of wrinkles?

When it comes to caring for your skin and reducing wrinkles, there’s no shortage of options available. Let’s explore some of our favorites.

Try red light therapy

Red light therapy (also called low-level light therapy) uses specific wavelengths of red or near-infrared light to stimulate the skin. Some studies suggest it may support collagen production and improve skin tone and texture.*

While more research is still needed, many people find it to be a helpful addition to their skincare routine — especially since it’s non-invasive and painless. For best results, consistency is key. Think of it as a long-term wellness practice, not a quick fix.

Incorporate facial massage or gua sha

Gently massaging your face or using a gua sha tool can help release muscle tension (especially in the forehead), increase blood flow, and support lymphatic drainage.* This can make skin appear more refreshed and may even reduce the appearance of fine lines over time.*

It’s also a great opportunity to slow down, check in with yourself, and care for your skin mindfully. Just be gentle — tugging or dragging the skin can do more harm than good.

Hydrate from the inside out

Keeping your skin hydrated helps maintain its elasticity and firmness. That means drinking enough water, yes — but also feeding your body with nutrients that support skin health.

Antioxidant-rich foods like berries, leafy greens, and healthy fats may help your skin defend against oxidative stress.* Topically, humectants like hyaluronic acid and nourishing oils can help the skin retain moisture and appear smoother.*

Reduce stress and support better sleep

Stress doesn’t just affect how you feel — it can show up on your skin, too. When you're stressed, your facial muscles may tense up (especially your brow), and your body may release cortisol, contributing to changes in your skin’s appearance over time.*

Incorporating stress-supportive habits like walking, journaling, breathwork, or yoga may help relax facial muscles and support a healthier overall response to tension.* Prioritizing sleep is just as important — overnight is when your body (and your skin) restores itself.*

CBD and your skin wellness routine

At Sunmed, we believe caring for your skin and overall wellness go hand in hand — and CBD can be a helpful part of that journey.

Topical products like our Broad Spectrum Collagen Cream can be applied directly to the skin to help soothe and hydrate — ideal for pairing with a gua sha massage or calming evening skincare ritual.* Our hemp-derived formulas include other soothing skin-friendly ingredients like botanical oils and aloe vera, which help nourish without irritation.

When it comes to emotional wellness, daily CBD tinctures or gummies may help calm the mind, support better sleep, and ease feelings of tension — all of which play a role in how your skin looks and feels over time.*

You don’t need to erase the story your skin tells — but you can support it in a nourishing and natural way. We're here to help you feel confident, inside and out.
