Crow's feet are small wrinkles that appear at the corner of the eyes, and are common signs of aging. Crow's feet can be caused by frequent squinting or excessive exposure to the sun and can appear in 20-somethings as well as older adults. Proper hydration and sun care can reduce the appearance of crow's feet. Beauty treatments that include filler products may also be used to eliminate crow's feet.
Step 1
Protect yourself from the sun to reduce the severity of crow's feet. Wear sunglasses to avoid squinting and to protect the delicate skin near your eyes. Apply a sunscreen lotion that is gentle enough to use on your face, taking care to not get it in your eyes.
Step 2
Hydrate your skin by drinking water. Skin wrinkles form due to a loss of elasticity that comes with aging. Water helps keep your skin supple and soft and may help reduce the appearance of laugh lines.
Step 3
Eat a health diet with ample servings of antioxidants in order to reduce your crow's feet. Blueberries, cranberries and strawberries all contain antioxidant-rich vitamins that are beneficial to your overall health and can contribute to healthier skin.
Step 4
Try to minimize crow's feet by using an anti-aging cream. Creams of this kind, widely available in pharmacies and discount retailers, often contain alpha-hydroxy acid, an ingredient that purports to reverse the aging process. Your success may vary with these products based on the strength of the ingredients.
Step 5
Indulge in wrinkle filler treatments to find temporary relief from crow's feet. Injection of Botox, collagen and hyaluronic acid may all be administered in the eye area to plump up the skin at the corner of the eyes. The FDA reports that while this form of treatment can eliminate crow's feet for a period of time (usually 3 to 4 months), patients have an increased risk of bruising, infection and blurred vision and should use wrinkle fillers cautiously.
Step 6
Choose microdermabrasion as a way to reduce crow's feet. This procedure essentially sands off the outermost layers of the skin that is wrinkled and reveals fresh, smooth skin underneath. Treatments of this kind are costly and may carry some health risks, including infection.
