Crow's Feet
The delicate skin around the eyes is 40% thinner than the rest of the face, making this area thefirst to show the signs of aging and UV damage. Those fine lines spreading out from the cornersof your eyes-- especially when laughing, squinting, or smiling-- are commonly known as crow'sfeet. Every time you make a facial expression, the muscle contraction makes these wrinklesmore noticeable.
What are Crow's Feet on Eyes?
Several factors cause crow's feet to develop around the eyes. As we get older, our skin losescollagen and elastin-- the two proteins responsible for keeping skin plump, supple, and elastic.Combine this with delicate skin that is more vulnerable to environmental stressors like pollutionand sun exposure. Most people tend to notice crow's feet by their early 30s when natural fatlevels beneath the skin get thinner.
In addition, another reason why crow's feet are some of the first wrinkles to form is because ofthe dearth of oil glands around the eye and the relative thinness of the skin. Free radicaldamage and hormone fluctuations can also reduce elasticity around the orbital area, making itless resilient or able to bounce back to its original state.
All facial expressions will eventually contribute to lines and wrinkles, and the outer eye area isno exception. And while crow's feet wrinkles may be a natural part of getting older, there areseveral ways to minimize their appearance and prevent these creases from deepening.
Preventing and Treating Crow's Feet
Everyone will get them at some point in their lives, but here are some tips to help prevent themfrom developing prematurely.
- Limit sun exposure
- Protect your eyes by using SPF 35+ every day
- Wear polarized or YV protective sunglasses to prevent squinting
- Stay hydrated
- Eat plenty of antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables
- Use creams and serums with skin-quenching ingredients
Look for an eye cream for crow's feet with active ingredients known to improve elasticity,plump fine lines, protect against oxidative stress, and accelerate collagen production. Somepowerhouse actives include:
- Hyaluronic acid – hydrates by attracting and binding water to cells
- Peptides – triggers collagen production to smooth wrinkles
- Antioxidants like Green Tea Extract and Vitamin C – protect against photodamage and hydrate
- Vitamin A – retinoids stimulate cell renewal and thicken the skin
