Crow’s feet are simply radiant wrinkles that appear around the eyes. This is usually one of the first signs of skin aging. They belong to mimic wrinkles and that is why they appear quite quickly. Of course, many individual factors have an impact on their formation, such as: diet, skin care, age, genes. There is no way to completely eliminate them, but you can make them much less visible.
The skin around the eyes is extremely thin, does not contain sebaceous glands and is exceptionally delicate. Therefore, it is recommended to take care of this facial zone as early as possible. The eyes reveal a lot: how we eat, whether we get enough sleep, whether we take proper care of our skin. However, paying attention to the skin in these areas is important not only for aesthetic reasons, but also because of its vulnerability in the face of external factors.
What cosmetics to use?
The right cream is one that will not only smooth out wrinkles, but also complement the skin’s deficiencies with nutrients and inhibit visible aging. Therefore, it should contain moisturizing, protective and regenerating substances thanks to the presence of filters. Pay attention to cosmetics that mainly contain:
- proteins,
- eyebright extract,
- Purple orchid extract,
- Hyaluronic acid,
- collagen,
- Vitamins A, E and C,
- Japanese Cherry Extract,
- Koenzym Q10.
