Combat Crow"s Feet
It's been said that laughter is the best medicine, but apparently not for the skin around our eyes. One poll found that 84% of women report seeing the initial signs of aging appear around their eyes in the form of crow's feet. Repeated muscle movements like laughing, smiling and squinting causes creases in the skin. Part of the trouble is that people often skip sunscreen around the eyes for fear that it will irritate the skin. Another issue: the skin around the eyes is some of the thinnest on the body and there isn't much elastin and collagen there either. Some of the initial signs of sun damage are often around the eyes.
So what can you do to further prevent the appearance of these little nuisance lines? Continue to smile for one; there is no need to be a joyless robot. Thankfully, there are a number of anti-aging products [http://www.murad.com/anti-aging-products.jsp] on the market to help you get the glowing skin of your youth. Try an eye serum that includes one of these three components doctors recommend to repair and prevent fine lines: retinoids, which help to stimulate cell turnover and increase collagen production.
There are a variety of retinoid eye creams available over-the-counter or you can get a higher dosage in prescription form from your dermatologist.
Peptides are another anti-aging power player that consist of molecules of amino acids that boost collagen production, or antioxidants, which help block damage from free radicals which break down the skin cells that cause wrinkling. More antioxidants will also make skin more able to resist sun damage. Some of the potent forms of antioxidants are available in ingredients such as green tea, grape seed extract, CoffeeBerry, and soy. For quick, but temporary fix, try an eye cream with hyaluronic acid or glycerin, which will help bring water to the skin's surface, helping to disguise crow's feet.
Lastly, if your eye cream doesn't offer sun protection, use a sunscreen every day that's designed not to be gentle on the eye area. Clarins Sun Wrinkle Eye Care with SPF 30 is a good bet; and don't forget to wear UV-blocking sunglasses to shield you from the sun and prevent squinting.
