How To Stop Frown Lines Showing on Your Skin
Frown lines are something that most of us will notice at some point, although they can come much earlier than expected, and it can actually be worsened by stress. Good skincare like our natural anti-ageing face products will help but our lifestyle can also have an effect.
Frown lines, often referred to as worry lines, are the vertical creases that appear between the eyebrows. The primary cause of these lines is the repeated contraction of the muscles in this area—for instance, when frowning, concentrating, or squinting. Over time, these repetitive facial expressions lead to the breakdown of collagen and elastin, which are essential for maintaining skin's smoothness and elasticity. In addition to muscle activity, factors such as ageing, sun exposure, smoking, and genetic predisposition can exacerbate the development of frown lines. As the skin loses its ability to bounce back, these lines become more pronounced and permanent.
Our lifestyle can have a huge effect on our skin and stress can play a part. With this we recommend taking care to be conscious if you are tensing your face when stressed, and relaxing it, DIY face massages are also great. Plus, exercise like yoga is lovely for destressing our whole body, and lots of the moves stimulate our facial area.
Skincare wise, all of our range is anti-ageing and kind to skin at the same time with the nourishing natural actives and extracts, they will all help to keep skin looking great naturally.
Here is our skincare routine with different options as below. A good cleanser, treatment and moisturiser is the best way to keep skin fresh and healthy. Our best treatment products for lines are the Exfoliating Radiance Tonic with lots of renewing fruit AHAs, and the Performance Face Serum plus Eye Cream Complex with their line smoothing hibiscus peptide, although the results will be subtle as they are natural. They also help with lots of other skin concerns.
- Begin your routine with our Advanced Cleansing Milk or Rejuvenating Face Wash. The milk is an oil-based cleanser that cleanses the face while hydrating and comforting at the same time with the hyaluronic acid and the plant cleansing and conditioning extracts. The wash gives more of a thorough cleanse if you prefer to use a foaming cleanser.
- You could then follow with our Purifying Face Toner if desired as a double cleanse and toning treatment, or if you do not use a toner then ensure the milk is thoroughly removed with damp cotton wool, a cloth, or when in the shower.
- For your evening routine, or as required, use our Exfoliating Radiance Tonic which is a powerful renewal treatment with fruit AHAs. It is great for pores, an uneven skin tone, plus lines and wrinkles.
- Use our Eye Cream Complex for the eye area which is hydrating, line smoothing and energising from its plant peptide, hyaluronic acid and stimulating plant and marine extracts.
- Then if you like a treatment you could use either our Performance Face Serum or Revitalising Face Oil for your face and neck. Our face serum and face oil are both treatment products, and you can use them together, or just one of them. They have different benefits, but do share some properties, as they are both anti-ageing and reviving for the face. The serum has powerful actives for skin rejuvenation hydrating deeply with hyaluronic acid and easing lines with the plant peptide, hyaluronic acid, seaweed, and green tea. The oil would be used after the serum if using both together and is rich and nutritious without being greasy. It helps to heal the skin barrier and immediately calms skin and leaves a lovely glow, plus is great at helping with stressed skin issues like dryness or sensitivity.
- Seal all the goodness in with our Active Dew Face Cream which hydrates, nourishes and protects the skin with hyaluronic acid, cassia, pomegranate and plant oils. This is for day and night use and is for normal, combination and dry skin. We have our Matt Formula Face Cream for normal skin but that that is more for normal skin on the oily side, or if you prefer a matt finish.
- If you like to use a lip product then you could finish with our Lip Treatment Balm which is filled with hydrating and nourishing plant oils, butters and waxes.
