Wrinkle one's forehead
Hi
Are these sentences natural?
1) Sometimes people wrinkle their foreheads, knowingly or unknowingly.
2) She ran her hand softly over his wrinkled forehead and smoothed it.
3) Stop wrinkling your forehead.
Thanks,
Tom

I'd use 'frown(ing)' in the first and third. The second suggests to me that she is being gentle with a very old man.

Thanks, fivejedjon.
...but isn't frowning different? I mean, this Indian actor is famous for wrinkling his forehead on purpose. He doesn't frown usually. Look at some of his pictures please.
