How To Minimize The Appearance Of Crow’s Feet
Just what are “crow’s feet,” besides the walking body part of the crow? If you are bothered by this condition, read on, to learn more about them and how you can minimize their appearance on your face with the right skin care and lifestyle changes.
What Are Crows Feet?
These are a form of wrinkles that end up at the corners of the eyes. They often look deeper and are noticed more than other wrinkled areas.
Why Do They Appear Around the Eyes?
As you age, collagen is lost; add to that exposure to the UV rays of the sun. Crow’s feet can occur at any age, however, since the skin around the eyes is thin and lacks oil glands to keep it lubricated. When elasticity around the eyes is lost, it is not able to bounce back to its previous state.
According to American Academy of Dermatology, there are certain lifestyle habits, such as cigarette smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, that can also lead to degraded elastin and collagen.
Smiling and squinting over a long period of time can also cause the loss of elasticity around the eyes.
How Can I Get Rid of These Wrinkles Around the Eyes?
There are some steps that you can take to lessen their depth; these involve lifestyle changes and awareness. Steps include:
- Wearing a hat
- Staying hydrated
- Eating a healthful diet
- Reducing toxin exposure
- Wearing sunglasses that are UV protected
- Using an SPF eye cream
A daily skin regimen combined with a diet that is healthy, along with eye cream, can help keep these lines from becoming worse.
Fillers, such as BOTOX or Dysport can be injected into the area to reduce facial muscle activity. Lines from expression become less noticeable with relaxation of the muscles; the face then has a rested more youthful appearance. The most common injection areas are between the brows, forehead and the area around the eyes.
On the other hand, skin care products can be delivered to your door and do not involve injections. The smartest way to find out what is the best solution for your needs and budget is to consult with a skin care professional, through a free consultation.
