| I went through a bumpy corrugator stage. I found that if I opened my eyes to the maximum, with only a very small move of the eyebrows upwards -not moving the forehead really, but the eyebrows move up slightly as I opened my eyes, and then smoothing strongly in horizontal way with each hand (fingers or palms) over my eyebrows helped a lot. It took a couple of weeks to start to release the tension but it finally came. In fact I got a liking to this movement and do it every day! It is keeping the frown lines out of the way! And I seem to be noticing it even helps with horizontal brow lines when I use my whole palm over the whole forehead in this motion. Just my experience. |

I agree with most of the comments here.
Really you have to make sure you don't engage the corrugators while exercising other muscles. If you hesitate don't do it until you master the technique properly.
Another tip for you: re-educate your facial posture in your every day.
As this may sound weird let me explain that most of our faces are not fully relaxed when we think they are, unless, you consciously make an effort to fully relax, and in that case your look could not be the best.
Holding your face in a certain way will improve in time your corrugator issue.
This is how is done: engage the outer (external) part of your frontalis as you do when you lift only one brow but with both. Don't do it to its maximum, just enough to pull apart the corrugator making sure you focus on the upper part of your temple. At the pic below you will see in green the area you need to focus on.
If you know how to contract your occipitalis do it at the same time as that is not visible but very noticeable an it will work in synergy with the frontalis external contraction enhancing and supporting. That will open up your face and at the same time won't allow your corrugator to contract. If you practise this for a while your face will eventually get used to it and it will adapt it as a "repositioning" of your facial-posture.
