Deep Wrinkles Between Eyebrows: A Science Backed Approach

Have you ever looked back at old photos and thought, “Wow, I miss my youthful skin”? Now, it seems impossible to ignore the fine lines forming around your eyes and mouth. PROVEN Skincare has all of the tips to get rid of under eye wrinkles, upper lip wrinkles, and other areas of concern.

If you’re increasingly frustrated by the deep wrinkles between your eyebrows, it’s time to take action. By implementing healthy skin habits and sticking to a skincare routine, you can prevent and get rid of those pesky lines for good.

PROVEN Skincare is here to help walk you through the entire process from start to finish so that you can love the face you see in the mirror.

In order to get rid of eyebrow wrinkles, it’s important to understand what causes them in the first place. After all, if you aren’t educated on the cause, you could continue doing the same things that led to their initial formation.

Here are some common causes of the deep wrinkles between your eyebrows:

Repeated facial expressions

Some people are more expressive than others. While this normally wouldn’t be something to think twice about, this fact could actually lead to the formation of deep eyebrow wrinkles. This is because when you raise your eyebrows in excitement or knit them in concern, you’re effectively stretching out your skin. Over time, our skin begins to naturally lose collagen and elastin, making it harder for our skin to properly bounce back in between expressions, leading to wrinkles in the glabella.

Genetics

Some of us are simply blessed with great genes. While we commonly think of genes as contributing to physical traits or the risk of certain diseases, genes can also play a role in our aging process. If it seems like no matter what you do, you still develop deep wrinkles between your eyebrows -- and you notice that your mother has the same ones -- they could in fact be related to genetics rather than anything you can actually control.

Sun exposure

While it’s true we need the sun to stay healthy, it can do more harm than good if you’re not careful. Spending too much time in the sun can hurt the production of collagen and elastin fibers in the skin -- making it less elastic and smooth. As a result, you may want to think twice about spending so much time soaking up rays without adequate protection.

Smoking

We know that smoking can affect the inside of your body, but did you know that it can actually affect the outside as well? When you smoke, you make a repeated facial expression that can contribute to the development of eyebrow wrinkles. Furthermore, cigarettes contain toxins that can damage the collagen and elastin in your skin, leaving you more prone to wrinkles everywhere, not just around your eyebrows.

Climate

Believe it or not, the climate you live in could actually be contributing to your eyebrow wrinkles. For example, if you live in a dry climate, your skin may not be getting enough moisture to effectively fill in these lines before they appear at the surface of the skin. On the other hand, if you live in a particularly sunny climate, you’re at a higher risk for sun damage that can also lead to wrinkles. Finally, if you live in an urban area with high amounts of pollution in the air, free radicals and chemical byproducts can penetrate your skin and lead to the development of fine lines and wrinkles.

After discussing the causes of deep wrinkles between eyebrows, you can clearly see that some of them are preventable while others are unavoidable. So how can you treat the entirety of them to regain a bright, smooth, and youthful appearance? Here are some things you can do to get rid of those stubborn deep wrinkles between your eyebrows.

At-home treatments

If you’re looking for at-home wrinkle treatments:

• Facial massage: If you’re looking for a treatment that will help you feel and look good, a facial massage could do just the trick. Facial massages promote oxygen and blood flow in the skin as well as increase collagen production to minimize the appearance of wrinkles. Apply a nice oil or serum and massage the area daily for the best results.

• DIY face masks: If you’re all about DIY and natural treatments, you could try a DIY face mask to get rid of your eyebrow wrinkles. People have had success with natural ingredients like egg whites, avocado, honey, yogurt, banana, and aloe vera, among other things.

• Quality skincare: If you’re looking for an effective and sustainable treatment for your pesky eyebrow wrinkles, then you definitely need to take a look at your skincare routine. While facial massages and at-home face masks could be effective, they don’t really treat the underlying issues that are causing your wrinkles to appear in the first place. Plus, they can be time-consuming and require a great deal of effort. A skincare routine, on the other hand, can treat the appearance of wrinkles while preventing new ones from forming in a few simple steps: cleansing, exfoliating, and moisturizing.

Professional treatments

If you’re looking for in-office wrinkle treatments:

• Botox: Treatments like Botox and other brands temporarily paralyze the muscles around your eyebrows -- leaving you unable to make the type of intense expressions that likely led to your wrinkles in the first place. As a result, your skin is better able to fill in these areas of concern with its natural components.
• Fillers: Treatments like fillers are able to “fill in” the deep wrinkles between your eyebrows with beneficial components like hyaluronic acid. Filler treatments can also improve collagen growth in the long-term, leaving you with long-lasting results. If you are considering fillers to help combat deep wrinkles, make sure to see a board-certified dermatologist or another trusted skincare provider.
• Chemical peels: Treatments like chemical peels are able to deeply penetrate the skin with beneficial ingredients that can target your stubborn eyebrow wrinkles. TCA peels can be particularly effective at treating wrinkles, sun damage, and acne scars.
• Microneedling: Treatments like microneedling cause tiny “micro-injuries” in the skin causing your body’s healing mechanisms to specifically target these areas. This process can help your skin generate additional collagen to fill in these areas of concern and minimize the appearance of your eyebrow wrinkles.
• LED light therapy: Treatments like LED light therapy work similar to microneedling by triggering the body’s healing mechanisms -- albeit by using light-emitting diodes instead of needles. Red LED light therapy is effective for healing wrinkles as it targets the fibroblasts that produce collagen.

Believe it or not, but there are steps you can take to prevent deep eyebrow wrinkles from forming in the first place. While treating your wrinkles is one remedy, you also need to make some lifestyle changes to prevent new ones from simply forming in their place. Remember, you don’t need to do this all at once. Simply incorporating a new step every week will definitely put you on the right track towards healthier, younger-looking skin.

Get better sleep

Your skin rejuvenates at night, so if you want to be able to fill in those wrinkles quickly, you need to be getting eight hours of sleep every night.

Eat better

What you put into your body affects how it looks on the outside. Fried, processed, and sugary foods have a negative effect on your skin. On the other hand, fruits, vegetables, and healthy foods with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals can help your skin stay healthy and young for years to come.

Drink more water

Wrinkles can be caused by dehydration, so be sure to hydrate your skin and body by drinking enough water. The National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine recommends that men consume about 3.7 liters of water a day and women consume about 2.7 liters a day.

Wear sunscreen

You need to protect your skin from sun damage by consistently wearing sunscreen no matter how cloudy it is or how much time you plan on spending indoors.

The basis of treating and preventing deep wrinkles between the eyebrows should come from your skincare routine. But what does that look like? PROVEN Skincare involves three simple and easy steps with a personalized formula to meet your unique skin concerns.

The first step involves using a gentle facial cleanser that also has toning and exfoliating properties. The second step involves using a light moisturizer with powerful SPF 40 to hydrate your skin while simultaneously protecting it from sun damage.
