What Are Crow's Feet?
Crow's feet, or laughter lines, are the small lines or wrinkles which appear around the outer edge of the eye. Generally they start to appear in the late twenties and gradually deepen over time. These lines occur naturally as collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid production decreases. They can be accelerated by things such as sun exposure or smoking. Natural movements such as smiling, laughing and squinting will also all contribute to deepening these lines.
Crow's Feet Treatment
One way to try and avoid crow's feet would be to never show emotion on your face. No smiling, no laughing or no frowning. As that is pretty much impossible, we will take a look at products which can be used to delay or reduce the appearance of those wrinkles. The first step you can take is to ensure that you are using a daily SPF, as exposure to UV rays is one of the most common ways the skin loses collagen and elastin, leading to premature ageing.Take A Closer Look At ZO® SPFs
Investing in a high quality eye cream should be an essential part of any skincare regime. To help reduce the visibility of crow's feet you need an eye cream which increases collagen production and protects the skin from any possible environmental damage.There are two ZO® eye creams available, they are:- ZO® Skin Health Olluminate® Intense Eye Repair: this works with peptides and retinol to boost collagen production and reduce the appearance of fine lines. It also provides protection against free radicals.
- ZO® Medical* Hydrafirm™: this uses active Vitamin A and biometric proteins to encourage natural collagen production and restore skin elasticity.
Care should be taken when applying products to the delicate skin around the eye area. Never pull, rub or tug the skin. Apply small dots of product around the orbital bone and gently tap into the skin until fully absorbed.
The final piece of advice, which applies not just to your eyes but general skin health, is to make sure you are drinking plenty of water. Skin dryness can lead to wrinkles and fine lines so always keep your moisture levels topped up.
