With its forty-three facial muscles, the face is in constant motion. Its permanent contractions and relaxations generate wrinkles and fine lines that can be reduced with the correct gestures and care. Here’s how to erase crow’s feet wrinkles, the most pronounced area of the eyes at the outer corner of the eye.
Expression lines par excellence, crow’s feet wrinkles go hand in hand with a smile. Because our face alone can express more than 10,000 expressions, it is not surprising that it becomes marked, especially in the outer corner of the eye, where the folds form a small triangle that gives the impression of a crow’s feet. Moreover, the natural production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid decreases with time. The epidermis loses its suppleness, hydration, and density. Our cells are also subjected to oxidative stress daily due to pollution, stress, smoking, alcohol, and sun exposure. It can lead to wrinkles, especially in the outer corners of the eyes. These marks are natural but can occur more or less quickly depending on all these conditions and certain determining factors. We speak of the beginning of a decrease in elasticity and firmness from 25 years.
The proper care to reduce crow's feet wrinkles
Fortunately, it is not necessary to be fatalistic when talking about wrinkles and even less about crow’s feet wrinkles. There are cosmetic surgery solutions, but there are gentler and just as effective alternatives to be adopted as soon as possible for prevention and correction: serums and eye contours based on hyaluronic acid formulated in different molecular weights. Indeed, hyaluronic acid is known for its ability to capture and retain the water naturally present in the epidermis, thus avoiding dehydration and playing an essential role in its recovery. The active ingredient will remain on the surface at a high molecular weight to smooth and maintain a good hydration level. In contrast, at low molecular weight, it will penetrate the different layers of the epidermis to plump up wrinkles and fine lines from the inside like a mattress. The corner of the eye is visibly densified and smoothed.
The right gestures to make crow's feet wrinkles disappear
There is nothing like applying it with the correct gestures to increase the benefits of your skin care product tenfold. The skin around the eyes is particularly fragile. With a thickness of 1 mm to 1.5 mm, it is four to five times thinner than the rest of the face. It makes it sensitive and more likely to be marked. Therefore, when applying your skincare product, you must gently tap it lightly to make it penetrate without creasing the features. To smooth out crow’s feet wrinkles precisely, place your index and middle fingers together and flat on the outer corner of the eye and move them towards the temples, opening your fingers in a “V” shape. The aim is to relax this area, mainly contracted and solicited by the facial muscles, and to create a filling effect. Done morning and evening, as part of your beauty routine, this gesture will rejuvenate the eyes and maximize the benefits of the treatment.
