How to get rid of crow's feet at home

Wrinkles ... There is hardly a woman who would be glad of their appearance: with them, the face looks tired and gloomy. The only exceptions are the rays of fine wrinkles scattering from the outer corners of the eyes - crow's feet are familiar to everyone. Sometimes you can hear the opinion that they do not spoil the face at all and even give it a special charm, but women, striving to look young and fresh, mercilessly seek out ways to erase them at all costs.

Causes of crow's feet around the eyes

Unlike other wrinkles, the appearance of crow's feet is not directly related to age: they can “decorate” the faces of very young girls.

The skin in the eye area is characterized by increased sensitivity, under it there is no adipose tissue, because of which it is easily amenable to deformation. In addition to these features, the appearance of wrinkles is also affected by the non-standard connection of facial muscles with circular eye muscles, because of which the skin in this area seems to break.

In addition to the specific structure of the skin and muscles in this area, provoking factors may include:

• errors in skin care, including when cleaning it from makeup;
• the habit of expressing your emotions with facial expressions;
• diseases associated with hormonal imbalance, water-salt and fat metabolism;
• the habit of squinting your eyes;
• unhealthy habits: diets, stress, alcohol and nicotine, lack of sleep, etc .;
• bad ecology.

It is practically impossible to completely get rid of crowns that have already appeared using non-surgical methods, but it is quite possible for anyone to reduce the degree of their depth and severity.

How to get rid of crow's feet at home

If you decide to deal with wrinkles around the eyes at home, you need to know that regularity will be the key to success.

What measures will help you refresh and tighten the area around the eyes?

• Proper cleansing and hydration.
• Self-massage and gymnastics.
• Masks
• Useful habits: a balanced diet, quitting smoking, protecting the skin from ultraviolet radiation, etc.

Industrial cleansing and moisturizing
Proper cleansing is essential for maintaining youthfulness and smoothness of the skin. Often, girls either do not conduct this procedure thoroughly enough, or, conversely, show excessive zeal, washing off makeup and stretching the skin.

Try to use products designed specifically for the eye area: they contain fewer active ingredients compared to face washings and are much milder.

If you remove makeup with special napkins or cotton pads, try to do it smoothly so as not to stretch thin and delicate skin. After applying them to your eyes for 10 seconds, lightly press and remove makeup and dirt from top to bottom.

After cleansing, the skin must be moisturized. Usually a cream or gel is used for this purpose. The first has a denser consistency and is suitable for owners of dry skin, as well as for use in autumn and winter. Gel is a preparation that is lighter in texture, so it is usually used in the summer when you do not want to overload the skin. Also, a good effect will be given by its use to owners of eyelids, prone to swelling or allergies.

When choosing a product, pay attention to the packaging. It is much more convenient and hygienic to use the cream in a spray can with a dispenser or in a tube. Such packaging reduces the risk of bacteria entering the product.If you still preferred cream in a jar, then try to get it out not with your fingers, but with a small plastic spatula, which should be washed after each use.

Means for the skin of the eyelids must be applied with patting movements with the ring finger, because empirically, experts have found that it is its surface that is the most delicate. You do not need to rub the product with effort into the skin, this will only achieve its stretching.

Folk recipes for facial beauty
An important role in smoothing crow's feet belongs to masks that can be made using the most common products: fruits and vegetables, vegetable oils, potatoes, dairy products and much more.

Masks prepared according to folk recipes moisturize and strengthen the skin, restore its healthy color, eliminate puffiness of the eyelids, as a result of which deep wrinkles become less pronounced, and small wrinkles are completely smoothed out. Repeat them preferably every other day.

Prepare the composition for the mask immediately before applying it. You can not store such funds, because in this case, the ingredients may react, as a result of which the mask will become unusable. Be patient, as To achieve the first visible results, it will take at least one and a half to two months.

Recommendations and Tips
A person’s commitment to certain habits, if not a direct cause of wrinkles in the eye area, then certainly contributes to exacerbation of existing ones. Try to take into account the following recommendations so that the fight against them becomes as effective as possible:

1. Do not sleep with your face in a pillow, so as not to once again have a mechanical effect on the skin. If in a different position you absolutely can’t sleep, then spend money on a pillowcase made of 100% silk.
2. Do not forget to protect your skin from ultraviolet radiation with the help of special creams containing filters from sunlight.
3. Do not abuse salty and sweet.The first provokes swelling that stretches the skin. Of course, after several times, special changes will not be visible, but after years, the result of your love for salt food will be in the face in the literal sense. Products containing sugar do no less harm to the skin condition: it contributes to the destruction of collagen, which is already very small in the eye area.

Professional cosmetology against crow's feet

Modern cosmetology has an extensive set of methods to smooth and improve the skin around the eyes. The final choice of a particular method depends on the age of the patient, the severity of wrinkles, skin condition, the presence of chronic diseases and some other factors.

By the method of exposure, all methods can be divided into injection, hardware and surgical.

The first include:

1. Biorevitalization - injections of hyaluronic acid, due to which the degree of hydration of the skin increases and the process of developing its own collagen is started. As a result, wrinkles are smoothed out, and dark circles and age spots disappear;
2. Botulinum therapy - injections of drugs (Botox, Dysport, Lantox, etc.) that block muscle activity, as a result of which they relax, and the wrinkle seems to be pushed out and smoothed. It is important to contact a skilled specialist with a good reputation, as an unsuccessful injection will immobilize your muscles for a rather long time;
3. Mesotherapy - the introduction of special preparations, which are cocktails of amino acids, vitamins and minerals, under the skin. This procedure has a rejuvenating effect on the skin, moisturizes and tightens it, smoothes wrinkles;
4. Contour plastic surgery - filling a cavity (folds) in a wrinkle with a special filler (filler). As a result of filling the voids, the crow's feet are smoothed out. The disadvantage of this procedure is that the skin is gradually stretched and more and more preparation is required to fill wrinkles.

Hardware methods include:

1. Chemical peeling, when under the influence of fruit acids, a burn forms on the skin, due to which the epidermis is actively updated. For sensitive skin around the eyes, special formulations with a milder effect are used;
2. Miostimulation - stimulation of muscle activity by exposure to current, which triggers all metabolic processes;
3. Exposure to wrinkles by a laser beam, as a result of which skin regenerates and collagen production begins.

And finally, the most radical way to get rid of crow's feet is blepharoplasty of the eyelids. This is a plastic surgery to remove excess skin on the eyelids and tighten them. As a serious surgical intervention, it is performed under general anesthesia and requires a rather long rehabilitation period with removal of sutures. As a result of such an operation, the wrinkles disappear and the face looks younger.

Massage and gymnastics against crow's feet

One of the effective ways to smooth out wrinkles is massage, which can be carried out independently or by a specialist. With it, you will improve the flow of lymph and blood, increase muscle tone, and also prepare the skin for the effects of nourishing or moisturizing masks.

In order for massage to benefit, rather than exacerbate existing problems, it is necessary to perform it exclusively on massage lines:

• from the center of the chin to the earlobes;
• from the corners of the mouth to the middle of the auricle;
• from the nose up to the hairline;
• from the middle of the forehead to the temples (parallel to the eyebrows):
• from the outer corner of the eye to the inner for the lower eyelid, and in the opposite direction - for the upper.

Massage should be started after cleansing the face. Be sure to use massage cream or oil during the procedure. Do not forget that the touch should be light so as not to stretch the skin, thereby adding new wrinkles to existing ones.

In addition to massage, do not be lazy to perform exercises for the eye muscles, which will help not only slow down the appearance of wrinkles, but also maintain visual acuity, which is especially important for those who are working at the computer.

Such gymnastics will require very little time. It is enough to perform it once a day, repeating each exercise 3-5 times.

1. Focus your eyes on an object located about 150-200 cm from you. After 10 seconds, move your eyes to any thing closer to you without turning your head.
2. Close your eyes, forcefully closing your eyelids (but do not squint at the same time). After 10 seconds, fully relax the muscles and open your eyes.
3. Slowly move your gaze in different directions and up and down.
