Crow's feet are usually the first sign of eye wrinkles to show as we age. These annoying reminders of aging are mainly caused by sun exposure. I began to notice 'laugh lines' sooner than my two year younger sister did, and she commented, "See, that's what you get from all that grinning, you should be an old sour puss like me!"
You can minimize the appearance of existing crow's feet by moisturizing the area with an eye cream that contains glycolic acid. Alpha hydroxy products work wonders on eye wrinkles.
Glycolic acid encourages wrinkled cells to regenerate.Now a new line of clay cosmetics made from Volcanic Ash Clay claims to be a viable alternative.
Crow's feet appear only after sunlight has begun to destroy the skins elastic and collagen fibers. Collagen is the protein that gives our skin elasticity. The best way to prevent crow's feet is to use a sunscreen around your eyes. Dot it gently around the eyes, and reapply every few hours.
Dermatologists recommend using fragrance-free sunscreens in the eye area due to fragrances causing irritation to delicate tissue.
The skin around the eyes is thinner and contains fewer oils and sweat glands, making the area prone to dehydration. This leads to wrinkles, and dark circles. Skin products containing retin-A help increase collagen production, which strengthens the skin's structure and reduces visible fine lines.
Make certain you drink plenty of fluids. Limit drinking alcoholic beverages because alcohol causes dehydration, which is unhealthy for the condition of your skin. Water plays a vital role in maintaining your glowing complexion. Medical experts advise a minimum of eight glasses a day. The outside of our skin is waterproof so we need to hydrate from the inside!
Give up cigarette smoking and reap in many long lasting rewards. Spending a lot of time in a smoke-filled environment, makes you squint- causing eye wrinkles. Avoiding tobacco smoke helps keep crow's feet from your face. Smoking activates premature skin aging among other costly side effects.
Everyone enjoys the sun's rays benefits of a healthy looking tan but you should avoid over exposure to the sun. Sunlight damages our skin tissues and causes eye wrinkles. Ultra violet rays from the sun are a danger because they penetrate into our skin's surface.
Eat the proper foods, including five servings of vegetables and at least one serving of fruit daily.
Vegetables and fruits in your diet provide antioxidant properties that halt the oxidation process responsible for crow's feet. Olive oil, soybeans, nuts, and whole grains are rich in antioxidants.
Take a multi-vitamin supplement to boost your body's antioxidant defense to combat crow's feet. This protects against harm caused by free radicals, which is the cause of loss in skin's elasticity, which leads to eye wrinkles. Our skin loses natural moisture and collagen as we age.
My grandmother, even in her eighties, did not have many eye wrinkles on her beautiful face. I unfortunately did not inherit this trait from her. She ate a much healthier diet and stayed out of the sun. There are two beauty secrets, I am happy to pass along to fight crow's feet, moisturize and sunscreen.
