Forehead Smoother Exercise
The Forehead Smoother targets the frontalis muscle, which is responsible for raising your eyebrows and creating those horizontal forehead lines. This exercise works by strengthening the muscle while teaching it to relax, reducing the depth of existing lines and preventing new ones. It's one of the first exercises Abi teaches in her programs because results are often visible within the first few weeks.
