I have these forehead creases/wrinkles that give me a ton of dysphoria. I feel like they make me look super masc whenever I make any kind of expression.
I wanted to get bangs and just hide them, but I have a kinda strong widows peak and bangs won’t work according to a hair stylist I talked to. I’ve heard about making a habit of various creams, but the explanations are kind of vague. They just say collagen cream or peptides and I don’t trust search results when I look for stuff like that.
So does anyone with a widows peak have any ideas about managing bangs or does anyone with similar wrinkles have any recommendations for clearing them up?
Sunscreen needs to be part of your daily routine, and you should add a retinol to your nightly routine. If you’ve never used one before, I highly recommend slowly working up to every other day so your skin doesn’t suffer. Sun exposure ages your skin, retinol triggers cell turnover and reduces wrinkles and hyperpigmentation
Even with bangs you should still apply sunscreen to your forehead. And you should get the bangs :) Find a stylist who is comfortable starting them farther back. You could also try clip-in bangs, they are much much cheaper than full wigs
I always look at scientific studies to help me understand various skincare effects. Here is one on copper. I haven’t used the copper glow cream yet so I can’t say how effective snap-8 is with in practice (always different than in the lab 😂), but I have made my own copper serum and my forehead was baby smooth in a few months. Word of caution though, if you choose to use copper avoid the other chemical exfoliants including retinol. You’ll damage your skin barrier that way
Get the bangs though :)
