The Causes and Ways to Reduce Crow’s Feet

Crow's feet are the expression lines of smiles and joy! However, we're not always happy to see them appear around our eyes. To reduce their appearance, fresh designed some skincare routines for you with exceptional virtues using powerful active ingredients.

What are crow’s feet?

Just like frown lines, crow's feet are part of expression lines. They appear little by little at the outer corner of the eye, under the eyebrow and move up towards the temple. They are called “crow’s feet” because they form several small fan-shaped folds that look like fine lines.

Fortunately, these wrinkles are associated with smiling, laughing and enjoying life! However, this type of expression wrinkle is also a sign of advancing age. If this worries you, we have a solution! It is possible to delay the deadline for their appearance.

Why do crow's feet wrinkles appear at the corner of the eye?

Crow's feet wrinkles appear more or less early. In some people, they can appear as early as the age of 25. Their appearance is therefore not only linked to advancing age. But then why do they appear precisely in this place on the face?

A combination of factors causes crow's feet. Firstly, the area around the eye is special. This periocular area is made up of very thin skin, just like the eyelid. Here, the sebaceous glands are rarer. This means that there is little sebum, but also more restricted hydration.

The eyes are “the mirror of the soul”, according to the adage. It is the eyes and all the facial expressions related to the eye area that transmit a large part of our emotions. The crow's feet wrinkle deepens as we communicate, with the repeated contraction of the orbicularis muscle. This is a completely natural phenomenon!

As we age, the skin produces less and less collagen and hyaluronic acid. This is the reason why many treatments for dehydrated skin contain rich active ingredients to compensate for this loss which often leads to marked dehydration.

Finally, add to this a number of external or environmental factors:

• sun exposure;
• an unbalanced diet with little vitamin content;
• excessive consumption of tobacco or alcohol;
• urban life, high exposure to air pollution;
• a lack of hydration or sleep, etc.
