Crow's feet - wrinkles caused by joy
Characteristic fine wrinkles in the corners of the eyes owe their common name to their shape - they form lines that radiate from the corners of the eyes - just like feet of a crow. It is a fairly common type of mimic wrinkles, which often appear as first in patients around 25 years old. How do the crow's feet develop?
The skin around the eyes is even three times thinner than in other areas of the face. There are no sebaceous glands, but the orbicular muscle below it performs about 20 thousand movements per day! Crow's feet are wrinkles formed due to expression, but also high exposure to UV rays or inadequate care. Crow's feet under the eyes at a young age are a typical trait of easy-going people who like to laugh. However, with time the resulting furrows become more deep, adding years and depriving the face of a fresh, young look.
Reduction of wrinkles around the eyes - the basis is proper care
The mimic wrinkles around the eyes will appear later and will be less visible if you focus on proper care and good habits since the very beginning. Of course, it is not about resigning from smiling! However, you should take care of proper hydration of the face. A moisturising, natural cream for the crow's feet will provide the necessary nutrients to prevent skin dryness. If you see crow's feet around your eyes or want to act preventively, try anti-wrinkle cosmetics - you can use them with peace of mind as early as around thirty years old.
The formation of crow’s feet in men and women is promoted by sunlight, so be sure to protect the eye area - choose high-quality sunglasses and remember to wear them not only in the summer. Also avoid factors that accelerate the aging process and the need to remove wrinkles around the eyes - cigarettes, alcohol, poor diet rich in sugar and highly processed foods, but also fatigue, lack of sleep and stress.
