Forehead exercises

Your forehead is one of the places where lines and wrinkles easily form, and permanent frown marks can also form between your eyebrows. It is best to be aware when you are frowning while working, reading or watching TV as this type of permanent frowning will lead to wrinkles forming.

People sometimes complain that it is difficult to do these forehead exercises, but after trying them a couple of times, you will be able to do them with ease.

Exercise 1

Sit upright, relaxed and facing forwards. Try and bring your eyebrows as far down over your eyes as possible while at the same time wrinkling up your nose and flaring your nostrils. Keep for a count of 5, relax and repeat 5 times.

Exercise 2

Lie on your back on your bed with your head hanging over the edge. Lift your eyebrows as far as possible while opening your eyes as wide as possible. Relax and repeat 5 times.

Exercise 3

Frown as much as possible, trying to bring your eyebrows over your eyes, while at the same time trying to draw your eyebrows towards one another. Then lift your eyebrows as far as possible and open your eyes as wide as possible at the same time. Relax and repeat 5 times.
