How To Get Rid of Crow's Feet

What are crow's feet and how can we get rid of them. Crow's feet are the tiny wrinkle lines radiating out from the corner of your eyes and they resemble the feet of birds, hence the name crow's feet. These wrinkle lines are caused by laughing, sun exposure and squinting I guess we are never supposed to laugh at jokes or walk out into the sun, I don't know about you but I like jokes, comedy and playing in the water on a sun filled clear day.

Let's look at this a little closer, crow's feet are generally the first signs of aging or maturing as I like to call it, these wrinkles show up first because the skin on our face is usually thinner than anywhere else on our bodies, therefore we have less elasticity or collagen and so once the maturing has started it will usually show up around the eyes first. It should also be mentioned that smoking is a major contributor in causing crow's feet.

Avoid UV-Rays and the Sun - this one is serious. It is generally accepted nowadays that lines, wrinkles and particularly crow's feet are all part of the skin aging process. We also know now the effect that exposure to the sun accelerates this aging process. When you go outdoors wear sunglasses! This stops the squinting that is a contributing factor in t formation of crow's feet in the first place.

Smoking - if you are a smoker and you want to reduce or minimize the effect of crow's feet, think about the smoke drifting up around your eyes tend to make them squint to avoid the smoke. The cigarette smoke gradually deepens the crow's feet. I would recommend quitting; I smoke so I know it is easier said than done.

Keep Your Skin Moisturized -the need for a good skin care regimen is of the utmost importance. If your skin loses moisture then those fine lines and wrinkles will appear at an earlier age. I would recommend that you drink plenty of water to help keep your moisture level in balance. Cut down on your coffee, diet sodas, and tea intake as they dehydrate you. You should also use a good moisturizing cream. This is common now for both women and men.

Reduce Stress - I know another one that is easier said than done especially in today's economy. The stress in our day to day lives will cause your face to have the appearance of the classic worried look. This will increase and make those wrinkles around the eyes become more prominent. So relax and try to change the things you can and not worry about the issues you have no control over.

Get Plenty of Rest - Getting a good nights sleep is probably one of the easiest and most important regimens you can accomplish. The old adage about getting eight hours of sleep is probably a good rule of thumb to follow here. You know when you look tired you feel tired, so get plenty of rest.

Your Diet -I always heard eat your vegetables they are good for you therefore maintaining a healthy diet is good for your entire body and can also help in reducing the effects of wrinkles. The intake of antioxidants is supposed to help in reducing the effects of aging, I don't know if this is true, but it sure can't hurt. So eat your vegetables.

A good relaxing massage for the face not only aids in preventing wrinkles but also bring a well being state of mind and spirit. Aromatherapy combined with facial massage is a great combination.

Before Giving a massage, always clean your face and make sure you hands are clean. Ensure all the makeup has been removed, else the skin could be blocked by particles and dirt.

Procedure-

Begin the massage from the neck upwards and end at the forehead; the veins and tissues get blood circulation). Do not rush, go slow from the neck and increase the speed as you move up. It has to be done slowly by hitting and vibrating the skin. Press the skin lightly with the tip of the fingers. At the end, remove the massaging oil with damp cotton pads and apply a face cream.

After the massage avoid applying any makeup during the next three/ four hours.

Try to use an eye cream that contains one of the three ingredients dermatologists recommend to prevent and repair wrinkles: retinoid, which stimulate new cell growth, increase collagen production, and are available as retinol in over-the-counter products or in higher-dose prescription creams such as Retin-A and Renova; peptides, which are molecules consisting of multiple amino acids that help boost collagen production and antioxidants. The better antioxidants can also make skin less sensitive to the sunlight and uv-rays. The more potent ones are green tea, Coffee Berry, and soy. If you are going out for the evening and want to reduce the appearance of crow's feet you can try a facial cream that is rich in humectants such as glycerin and hyaluronic acid that will draw moisture to the skin, making crow's-feet appearance seem diminished.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are a substance that is injected into your skin to add more volume instead of pulling it tight to reduce the effect of wrinkles.
Synthetic substances -This one you have to research and make an informed decision for yourself. Personally I would try to talk to friends and relatives that have had this type of procedure and ask them what they recommend.
Our Own Body Fat - This option is also one I would recommend, take your own body fat from some place on your body and inject it into the locations that you want to increase the volume, simple and last forever.
Collagen - I much prefer the collagen option as it being a natural product and the process being very simple, but before you have this procedure make sure to be tested so that there is no allergic reaction .

Using Botox to Reduce Crows Feet
First off what is Botox? The clinical name for Botox is Botulinum Toxin. Botox is highly effective at diminishing the appearance of crow's feet; I just don't like the idea of injecting a type of virus into my body. My own personal opinion. This process works by basically paralyzing tiny muscles that are targeted by the injections and keeping them from contracting and expanding therefore reducing the effects of wrinkling and crow's feet. Before having the Botox procedure I would recommend again talking to friends and relatives who have had a Botox injection and ask for their comments, also find a reputable clinic and schedule an appointment just for a question an answer review.
