Understanding a few facts is essential to getting rid of frown marks. First, it may be hard to completely eliminate them depending on your level of commitment. Surgery can be an option but can be expensive and have risks that may not be worth it. Speak to your dermatologist about your options, both medical and natural.
What are frown lines? Around our thirties is when frown lines start to appear as two furrows between the eyebrows, or horizontal lines across the forehead. The environment, lifestyle choices, and the years of facial expression have an impact on all aspects of your skin.
As we age our skin loses its elasticity and collagen, which makes frown lines more prominent. While prominent frowns don’t necessarily mean that you have been scowling, they can make you look less happy than you really are. They also appear earlier than most other signs of aging.
Natural Ways To Treat Your Frown Lines

- Do not smoke: Smoking can cause wrinkles and blood vessel narrowing.
- Untense: Frequent facial expressions and stress can cause frown lines.

- Sun Protection: Do not leave home without sunscreen. Wearing a hat can help protect you.
- Sleep well: While you sleep, your body is reset and allows for skin recharge.
