Iron out fine lines

No one likes forehead wrinkles, but in some cases the issue might be as simple as dehydrated skin, says dermatologist Dr Ivy Lee from Pasadena, California. All fine lines improve with more moisturising, and dehydration lines tend to go away once you start using the right skincare products. Dehydration lines are finer than wrinkles and have a 'crêpe paper-like texture when the affected skin is not well hydrated'. The answer? Yes, should drink more water, but in this case you also need to slather on moisturiser - even better if it's one with a hydrating ingredient like hyaluronic acid.

A nip, not a nightcap
