    Hello Ladies,

    I have 2 wrinkles on my forehear in between my eyes. EVERY time I squint I notice these lines more and more and it make me sad. I'm 35, have great skin, except for those 2 wrinkles. I can't stand it. I've been tempted to do botox, but a little leary. I moisturize 2x's a day. I want to go buy some smoothing/wrinkle cream nd wanted to k now what works and what doesn't. Thanks in advance for the i nput!

    Your are going to think I am crazy, but Preparation-H works everytime for wrinkles.  I know it sounds off the wall, but try it and you will see that it totally works.

    Try a prescription Retin-A cream.  They work wonders!

    @tksjewelry:  Omg, really? Preparation H??  Ok I will have to try that lol!!!

     

    @tinarenee77:  I'm 34 and have that same line you're talking about.  I've never tried Botox, but my friend does, and it makes a big difference.  Depending on how deep your wrinkle is, creams might not work. 

    For the last few years, I wear sunglasses outside most of the time, and SPF eye cream, and SPF facial cream to try and "preserve" my skin as long as I can.  However, I also try to appreciate the lines I do have.  They're going to come eventually anyway.  But I know how you feel, it's the transition that's hard.  The last 2 years I've discovered lots of new lines around my eyes too...  It's like one morning I wake up and there are new lines.

    I have some fine lines and started using a non prescription retin a cream from Philosophy called Help Me.  It seems to be working.  However if your lines are deep i'm not sure that any cream will smooth them out completely.

    My SIL works for the company that makes botox and obviously uses it on a regular basis.  She's 33 and not a wrinkle in sight! She looks amazing.  Just make sure you find a reputable doctor or nurse practitioner to do the injections.  that makes all the difference.

    I know what you are taking about!  My mother has one line between her eyes when she squints... well really all the time - I have to constantly tell her to stop making 'that face' cause it's making the line deeper!  I've nick named it a 'butt crack'.  (That may sound mean, but we are very close, and we both find humor in it). 

    However, I've started to notice the same line on my face!!! I'm only 27, and I don't make 'that face' like she does.... yet, I see it wanting to start. I'm thinking about botox as well.... My husband thinks I'm joking....  : )  I worked at a medical spa where it was done all the time... I should have started then when I had a BIG employee discount!

    The wrinkle isn't very deep. In the morning it seems to look worse. I'm not sure if I want to use botox yet, especeially if it isn't too deep. I think I'm going to try the retinol cream first.

    @tinarenee77:   Yeah try the cream if it's not too deep.  But also, Botox is preventitive.  It'll stop the wrinkle from getting deeper.
