Reverse the Appearance of Aging Around the Eyes

Is there any way to reverse the appearance of aging around the eyes? Some surgical techniques can be used to smooth the skin, hence removing the wrinkles. Note that while facelifts can restore the youthful elasticity of the face, they do not work on crows feet.

Botox is the most commonly used method to treat frown lines, laugh lines and wrinkles, including crows feet. This method relaxes the muscles around the eye and prevents the muscles from tightening and forming the wrinkles. You may also want to consider collagen injections, another common method for skin rejuvenation.

Other surgical methods include cosmetic laser surgery and plasma skin regeneration. Cosmetic laser surgery is a skin-rejuvenation method that uses laser or high-intensity light to vaporize superficial layers of skin while plasma skin regeneration uses nitrogen plasma energy to stimulate skin.

However, surgical treatments are never permanent, often costly and sometimes risky. There are various natural ways to slow down the skin's aging process and thus preventing crows feet wrinkles from appearing at an earlier age.

Exposure to sunlight and smoking are the primary reasons that wrinkles appear. If you are a smoker, consider quitting for the benefit of healthier skin, as smokers' are more likely to get crows feet then nonsmokers.

Sunlight contains necessary vitamins for our skin, but it also ages it. Exposure to sunlight encourages us to squint, which wrinkles our skin. Use suitable sun protection when going out under the sun, and wear sunglasses to avoid squinting. Aside from that, it is also important to have a proper skincare regimen. Use rich moisturizing cream to keep the skin, especially the undereye part, well toned. If you apply undereye cream, be sure to use the ones that contain glycolic acid or vitamin C as the active ingredient. For inexpensive home treatments, you can try patting olive oil around the eyes at night.

Diet also plays a role in wrinkle development. A healthy diet, lots of water, and regular exercise will keep wrinkles at bay for a long time. Eat foods that are rich in vitamin-C and omega-6 fatty acid linoleic; they have been proven to decrease skin aging, and dryness and thinning of the skin.
