Crow's feet: The cause and the cure

In the eternal struggle against the effects of aging on the skin, most people, especially women, focus on the wrinkling and aging of the skin that covers the face. This is a pretty natural reaction, since the face is what you actually see the most often in the mirror, as well as the part that gets viewed by others on an everyday basis. The natural desire to look one's best is less about vanity and more about gaining social advantage, since studies indicate that looking better also correlates to doing better in the workplace as a general rule. The idea of being more effective or better paid based on looks is odd to many, but researchers believe this to be true in the vast majority of cases.

While mankind might focus on the face as the most distinguishing characteristic of the human race, one of the most annoying features of aging is the appearance of crow's feet in the corners of the eyes. These marks of the process of aging are a sure indicator that the wearer has seen their fair share of the world and everything in it, possibly more than once. While some may see this as a sign of wisdom, few would say that they wouldn't rather be without them. Unfortunately, the appearance of crow's feet and wrinkling around the eyes is inevitable, but with the proper treatment and preventative measures, the onset of the aging process can be slowed to a crawl.

The first step in dealing with crow's feet is understanding what causes crow's feet and wrinkling of the skin and epidermal layer in general. Exposure to the sun and elements can cause all manner of skin damage and accelerate the development of various signs of aging, including wrinkles and dry, cracking skin. Limiting the exposure to the sun is the key ingredient to avoiding crow's feet as much as possible to begin with, as the main cause of crow's feet is squinting, and will help to keep the epidermal layer of your skin healthy and young for many years to come. The use of sun hats and sun glasses is a necessary encumbrance for the protection of the skin and preventing wrinkles and crow's feet from forming in the face.

As to the method of treatment, the best treatment is actually a combination of skin protection and moisturizing. Using moisturizers will help prevent crow's feet as well as treat the existing symptoms of wrinkling in the face's epidermal layer by providing the moisture that the skin craves to remain healthy.

As a general rule, nothing should ever be allowed to make contact with the mucous membranes that surround the eye itself, as this contact with foreign material can cause severe inflammation and injury. The use of make up, glitter or other eye decorations is discouraged as well, since many types of these cosmetics products can cause all manner of skin damage around the eyes and on the face.

Avoiding exposure to the sun and wearing sun hats and sun glasses is critical to preventing sun damage to the face, which causes wrinkling and crow's feet. With this critical step of avoidance combined with the treatment of daily moisturizer, the appearance of crow's feet and wrinkling in the skin around the eyes and face can be delayed for years or even decades.
