Deep furrows

A drop in collagen and elastin levels combined with years of repetitive facialmuscle movements leads to etched-in wrinkles along the forehead, but a derma roller (aka microneedling) can help. The roller’s needles create microscopic pricks on the skin that cause the body to increase collagen production in order to close the “wounds,” says Dr. Shainhouse. And applying vitamin A serum (which further increases collagen) immediately after rolling enhances the benefits since the tiny pricks help the vitamin better absorb into skin.

TO DO: Run a roller (like ORA Microneedle Face Roller, Dermstore.com) horizontally across the skin, taking care not to go over the same area more than twice. Then apply vitamin A serum (like CeraVe Skin Renewing Cream Serum, Target.com). Repeat twice a week for results in 30 days. Thinner skin puts harsh focus on the blood vessels under eyes. To cancel out blue and purple tones, use a concealer with a slight yellow tint. For best results, opt for one infused with mineral oil, which helps lock in moisture to plump skin.
