Dry Forehead?
I am a 22 year old Male in good physical condition.
My skin for the most part is OK. Unfortunately, I have wrinkles on my forehead, and they really stand out. What;s even worse is that it's not a normal wrinkle, but just 1 irregular curvy line. My skin is kind of pale and everything really stands out on the forehead. I wash my face with nutregena soap almost every day. Unfotunately, my forehead skin remains kind of dry, and kind of pale with every blemish standing out. I was wondering if there was anything I could do to improve this?Any product? I am becoming more and more self conscious of this and I feel it's really starting to hold me back in some situations. I live in New York and winter time is upon us, so I am not really sure about a self tan kit, since I know it will be so obvious. Any help at all would be greatly appricated it. PS. I wish I could post a pic of my forehead, but I am having hardware issues. Last edited by dualman7; 10-27-2004 at 01:24 PM.. |

It's not very manly, but I would suggest moisturizing. There is some really great stuff out there that wont clog your pores or cause breakouts. Especially if your using Neutrogena, that stuff can be harsh on your skin. I would suggest Cetphal (sp) daily moisturizer.

What Dingo said - most face wash products have a tendency to dry your skin out. Just put on some lotion immediately after you wash your face and it should help out a lot!

There is a line of natural skin care products...Burt's Bees. If you're familiar with this line they have several products that could help you and also they don't smell feminine.

This is not for everyone, and it depends how serious you are about getting rid of that one wrinkle, but Botox injections work well on forehead lines. Simple, quick,.......and expensive!

But the problem with Botox, is it pretty much paralyzes your forehead, so when you want the creases there, to raise an eyebrow or something, it doesn't work. (I have a crease I want to get rid of, and didn't like the Botox option)
Oil of Olay makes a decent, not expensive moisturizer, that comes in unscented, so you don't have to smell girly. For a little more money, Clinique has an excellent line for senstive skin, which it sounds like what you have. (they have both the mens line and the regular line, I don't think there's a difference except for packaging) With winter coming, you'll definitely want to moisturize to prevent chapping.
