Crow’s feet – referred to as “laugh lines,” are a common sign of aging. As we get older, our skin loses elasticity, resulting in crow’s feet, lines and wrinkles. Taking proper care of your skin and making sure it’s getting the essential vitamins and nutrients it needs to stay healthy, hydrated and firm can help keep crow’s feet and other facial wrinkles at bay.
How can we approach making eye masks to reduce crow’s feet wrinkles at home? What type of ingredients works better for tender skin under our eyes? When do we need to start taking care of our skin to prevent premature aging? These are important questions for all women, young and older alike. Let us share some of the facts that can help answer those questions and pick the best eye mask for you.
Before we can answer the question of how to get rid of crow’s feet, we need to understand how and why they form. There are two main reasons for premature crow’s feet or wrinkles under your eyes:
- Constant active muscles around eyes – we wink, frown, squint
- Structure of our skin – it is very thin and sensitive around your eyes
While proven medical treatments for crow’s feet have shown long-lasting and effective results in a short span of time, you can also get rid of crow’s feet naturally. (This process might take its own sweet time!
1. Milk
Milk can be used to lessen the appearance of wrinkles around your eyes. It contains glycolic acid that helps exfoliate dead skin skills while promoting the production of collagen in the skin. Make sure to use organic, hormone-free milk.
2. Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera has antioxidant properties that help the body fight off free radicals that may cause wrinkles. It also contains essential vitamins and minerals that help moisturize, tone and brighten the skin.
3. Egg Whites
Egg whites can help tighten skin to reduce the appearance of crow’s feet. They’re loaded with protein that promotes tissue repair, potassium that hydrates the skin, and magnesium that stimulates the skin cells for younger-looking skin.
4. Papaya
Papaya’s high Vitamin C content helps fight off free radicals that may damage the skin. It also stimulates collagen production. Papaya contains an enzyme known as papain that helps remove dead skin cells and tighten the skin.
5. Vitamin E
Vitamin E is a strong anti-oxidant that is essential for regeneration of new skin cells. It can tighten the skin around the eyes to reduce the appearance of crow’s feet, while keeping the skin plump and moisturized.
6. Coconut Oil
Coconut oil contains a high amount of Vitamin E that nourishes skin cells and tissues, as well as linoleic acid that can reconnect broken skin tissues and delay the formation of crow’s feet, fine lines and sagging skin.
7. Avocado
Avocados are rich in monounsaturated fatty acids that help revitalize dry skin. The high Vitamin D and E content in avocados also simulate the production of collagen, which reduces the appearance of crow’s feet.
8. Lemon Juice
Lemon juice is rich in citric acid that helps get rid of crow’s feet by acting as an exfoliant. The natural astringent properties in lemon juice can also help reduce blemishes and make skin softer.
9. Cucumber
Cucumbers contain thiamine, riboflavin and niacin, along with vitamins B5 and B6, which help nourish the skin. The soothing properties of cucumbers can also help reduce the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes.
10. Honey + Yogurt
Yogurt contains lactic acid that exfoliates the skin, and honey naturally hydrates the skin and removes bacteria. These two ingredients make the perfect combination for an exfoliating and hydrating mask that helps reduce crow’s feet, fine lines and wrinkles.
