• The researchers said that the nature of atherosclerosis and forehead wrinkles are linked to oxidative stress and the depletion of protein levels in the collagen.
• The blood vessels in the forehead are fine and thinner so they are more sensitive to plaque build-up.
• In addition to taking lipid tests and checking the blood pressure, the experts say that forehead wrinkles may also be a marker for heart disease risks.

Doctors should give patients the necessary advice about lowering their risks if forehead wrinkles are significantly visible.

2.    YOU COULD BE HYPERTENSIVE

If you take good care of your skin then you also take good care of your body. Experts from the Leiden University Medical Center proved this point in a study on aging and appearance.  Apparently, men and women who look a lot younger for their age have lower blood pressure than those with bad and sagging skin. A youthful appearance has also been linked to longevity and good health.

But the experts also emphasized that it wasn’t so much the wrinkles and lines that linked to blood pressure. Rather, sagging on the face was the more significant indicator for risk of hypertension.
