While some people find crow’s feet popping up on their faces as character lines, others are taking positive steps to new heights to get rid of these pesky lines that can all of a sudden turn from laugh lines to permanently indented grooves that can make us appear a tad older than what we are.
The skin around the eyes is thin and does not have a gland to release oil, making crow’s feet as the first sign of ageing to develop.
The first signs of crow’s feet usually appear in mid-20s. They start as a small, fine wrinkle, but they eventually get deeper and bigger as people age. There are many factors that may lead to the causes of crow’s feet. And if you started preventing them in their early stages, then you might be able to prevent them from taking a toll in your life, and affecting your confidence.
- The skin around the eyes tends to become dryer easier so this time of year make sure you moisturise twice a day.
- You need to drink 8 or more glasses of water each day. This will make sure you stay hydrated & prevent dryness.
- Avoid processed & preserved foods. Eat fruits & vegetables especially those high in antioxidants. This will help to protect skin and slow down the ageing process
- A good eye cream that contains a combination of active ingredients can prevent, strengthen and repair the delicate area around the eyes.
- Manage stress! Regular exercise and meditation can help control stress & prevent premature development of skin ageing signs.
- Try and sleep on your back rather than on your side to prevent scrunching up of this delicate area against your pillow for many hours at a time.
- Ensure you wear a daily SPF factor over your entire face & always wear sunglasses to prevent squinting if you are out in the sun or driving.
So If you’ve found yourself dealing with crow’s feet or fine lines around the eyes, using an eye serum can potentially make a big difference in your appearance. Here’s the thing; many people don’t realise it but the skin around our eyes is actually about 80% thinner than the skin on the rest of our body.
A serum actually does a number of things, depending on the exact brand and manufacturer. An under eye serum is meant to address some of the following problems:
- Reduce the appearance of under eye circles
- Reduce puffiness beneath the eyes
- Restore the elasticity to the skin around the eyes
- Minimize wrinkles, crow’s feet and fine lines around the eyes
- Enhance the firmness and tone of the skin
- Promote a healthier, younger-looking appearance
Cairns Clear Skin has numerous Eye Serums available and even has the latest with Stem cells & growth factors clinically proven to help improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles + increase elasticity, tone & luminosity.
