Eyes are windows to the soul. People look at our eyes often that is why wrinkles around the eyes are very noticeable. They are known as “crow’s feet” because of their similarity with bird’s feet. These lines can even be seen in people in their early twenties, hence the importance of a good skin routine and prevention.
Some of the reasons we have these wrinkles around the eyes are
- Skin is thinner in this area
- Sun exposure
- Dryness on the area
- Repetitive movement
- Genetics
We need to know first the reasons for these lines to prevent them, here you have some basic recommendations to get rid of these
- Always apply sunscreen, it doesn’t matter if is cloudy outside, UV lights are still there.
- Always clean this area with gentle movements, even when you are exfoliating.
- Serums are recommended for this area, try Vitamin C, Vitamin A, and Niacinamide (Vitamin B3).
- Avoid waterproof makeup for this area, they are always hard to remove and you will need to apply a lot of movement to completely remove it.
- Keep the area hydrated.
- Use glasses or sunglasses, this way you will avoid any eye damage. Also avoid frowning or squinting, when you are doing this, you can feel the movement of the muscle around the eyes, this is one of the main reasons for crow’s feet, this repetitive movement will create creases on the skin over time.
- Baby Botox can be used as prevention of the area. Botulinum Toxin can be used to get rid of these lines.
- For static lines also, try radiofrequency facials. During this treatment, the deep layers of the skin are heated, without damaging the top layer to stimulate collagen and elastin, you can do a couple of sessions and the results are amazing.
