Crow's feet are coming. How not to fight wrinkles

Almost all women from an early age begin to be bothered by the appearance of crow's feet around the eyes. These are small, radial wrinkles. They run apart on the outer corners of the eyes. Year after year they become more expressive. At the same time, everyone is shown their age, and sometimes several years are added.

Also, crow's feet around the eyes make the look dull and expressionless. Getting rid of this trouble is often very difficult. But if you treat this with great responsibility, then it is quite possible to eliminate this defect in a short period of time.

When starting any type of procedure, first of all, it is necessary to determine the cause of such wrinkles in the eye area, which sometimes even cause some complexes.

In order to identify why crow's feet appear around the eyes, first of all, it is necessary to analyze your own health, as well as the lifestyle that the woman leads. This is one of the main indicators of skin condition. If you do this correctly, the conclusions will come by themselves, and the cause of wrinkles will be immediately known, which will help you quickly get rid of them accordingly. If this is not done, then most often the chosen methods will be absolutely useless.

Causes

Crow's feet may appear:

- With too active facial expressions, when all emotions are expressed by the facial muscles.

- During sudden weight loss, which often leads to loss of elasticity of the epidermis.

- When the muscles around the eyes contract incorrectly, and the cause of this may be an uncomfortable pillow. If this is the case, then you need to get rid of it as quickly as possible.

- In case of poor nutrition, when the diet often contains spicy, salty fried foods, and also the presence of carbonated drinks.

- For various diseases. This could be an infectious disease, problems in the female area, problems related to the gastrointestinal tract, and various disorders of the nervous and endocrine systems. Without complete confidence in your state of health, you must consult a doctor and undergo all the necessary examinations.

— When using cosmetics incorrectly. Even the wrong cream with hyaluronic acid and collagen can harm the skin.

— When exposed to bad weather conditions such as wind, rain, snow. Toxins in the air, ultraviolet radiation, sea salt, and chlorinated water, which is very common in swimming pools, also have a bad effect.

— Wrinkles also occur when drinking large amounts of alcoholic beverages, as well as when smoking.

— The cause may be an insufficient amount of water in the body. To avoid this, you need to drink at least one and a half liters of purified water per day.

Although sooner or later, with age, crow's feet will appear, and this cannot be avoided, but this process can be slowed down a little. Also, for prevention purposes, it is periodically necessary to use either cosmetic preparations or homemade masks.

Reasons for appearance

In the eye area, facial muscles have a non-standard, complex structure and as a result of their work, a kind of “breaking” of the epidermis occurs. This is what causes wrinkles to form. After all, in the eye area the skin is 4 times thinner than in other areas of the face. In addition, there is a complete absence of fat and a hydrolipid layer, which makes the appearance of microwrinkles over time almost inevitable.

Causes of crow's feet near the eyes

But there are also factors that contribute to the faster appearance of crow’s feet, these are, of course:

• allergy-prone, dry and sensitive skin;
• improper skin care (impaired makeup removal, poor hydration);
• disturbances of water-salt metabolism (occurs with kidney or heart diseases, hormonal imbalances, improper diets);
• neglect of a healthy lifestyle (stress, alcohol and nicotine, lack of sleep);
• emotionality and impulsiveness (facial muscles experience enormous stress when expressing emotions);
• poor ecology and the habit of squinting (for example, when the bright sun is shining).

So what now? Run away from civilization and give up cosmetics? Stop smiling and expressing emotions? Not worth it. There are many options that will help you avoid the appearance of rays or get rid of them.

Fighting crow's feet

“Crow’s feet” under the eyes are more likely to form on thin and dry skin, as well as among those who tan uncontrollably (the effect of photoaging).

Sometimes crow's feet under the eyes appear due to a lack of natural collagen or hyaluronic acid.

Solutions:

If nothing else bothers you other than wrinkles in the corners of your eyes (the upper and lower eyelids are fine), then you can get rid of crow’s feet without the help of surgeons.

Since “crow’s feet” under the eyes are the result of facial expressions, then get rid of “crow’s feet” by reducing the activity of the periorbital muscles using botulinum toxin injections. The essence of its action is the forced weakening of activity

periocular muscles, the constant tension of which causes “crow’s feet” under the eyes. It sounds scary, but in reality the drug simply blocks the nerve endings in the muscles, as a result the latter relax, and the skin around the eyes ceases to experience constant tension, and the “crow’s feet” around the eyes become less pronounced.

The effect of the injection lasts from 4 to 9 months, after which the “crow’s feet” under the eyes gradually return to the state they were in before the procedure. There is no habituation to the action of the drug, and to maintain the result, injections can be repeated, thus periodically leveling out the “crow’s feet” under the eyes.

Today, the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation has approved several botulinum toxin preparations for use, the most popular of which are the American Botox and the French Dysport. “Contrary to the prevailing opinion in the press, botulinum toxin injections do not cause poisoning of the body,” says Igor Bely, leading surgeon at the OTTIMO clinic. “The concentration of toxin used is so small that it simply does not have enough power to spread beyond the injection site. The effect of the drug is only enough to remove crow's feet around the eyes.

Another aspect may cause concern: if the drug is administered at the wrong place or its dosage is excessive, the “crow’s feet” around the eyes disappear, but a mask effect appears on the face. Fortunately, this is a reversible process over time, but no one wants to look like a robot, even for a couple of months.

Those wishing to get rid of crow's feet should remember a few points. Botulinum toxin should be injected by a qualified and licensed specialist, based on the principle of pinpoint injection and taking into account the facial expressions of a particular patient, his skin type and much more. The correct dosage and a careful professional approach are a guarantee of your safety.” That is why, in order to get rid of crow’s feet, you should contact a reliable specialist.

Another way to get rid of crow's feet is to inject cosmetic fillers.

Since the skin in this area is very thin and sensitive, it is best to use absorbable preparations based on chemically modified hyaluronic acid. To obtain a gel filler, high molecular weight, well-purified hyaluronic acid (HA) is required.

After being introduced into the skin, the gel not only “pushes out” wrinkles from the inside, smoothing out the overall relief, but also accumulates a large amount of water in this area, which leads to intense hydration of the skin. HA preparations not only make it possible to get rid of “crow’s feet”, but also stimulate the synthesis of your own collagen, elastin and glycosaminoglycans.

Hyaluronic fillers have a long-lasting effect - up to 12 months, and then completely dissolve. Moreover, during the process of decay, they attract additional fluid reserves to the treated area and actively moisturize the skin.

However, if in addition to “crow’s feet” you are also bothered by “bags” under the eyes, then you will have to refuse fillers. Hyaluronic acid can aggravate swelling due to its ability to store water.

The choice of treatment option depends on indicators such as the patient’s age and the condition of his skin. The choice of method is made by a doctor or cosmetologist based on an analysis of the condition of the facial skin as a whole, the degree of depth of wrinkles, and the patient’s age. With significant age-related changes, loss of natural elasticity and firmness in the skin, and in the absence of serious pathologies of the body, a radical method of getting rid of this type of wrinkles can be chosen - plastic surgery.

The chosen treatment option can be carried out both in a cosmetology center that specializes in restoring the elasticity of facial skin, and at home. It should be borne in mind that various masks and massage techniques can be carried out at home, however, more radical methods of influence in the form of the intervention of plastic surgeons should be carried out only in a proven cosmetology center.

At home

Using methods that are used at home to eliminate crow's feet, you do not need expensive equipment or a professional technician to carry out certain manipulations on the skin around the eyes. An important condition for the success of the chosen treatment method should be the sequence of actions, the absence of harsh effects on the skin around the eyes, which is extremely sensitive to any mechanical influences, and the regularity of the procedures used.

Particularly well-proven methods of influencing skin with the appearance of “crow’s feet” include the following treatment options:

• special exercises aimed at activating blood circulation in the eye area;
• massage, which should be carried out in a course of 8-12 procedures and all massage actions should be performed extremely carefully;
• the use of essential oils that stimulate the skin and activate the regeneration process of its cells;
• masks - both ready-made versions and self-prepared ones.

Moisturizing creams will enhance the effect of the above methods for eliminating crow's feet, because dehydrated and dry skin is very susceptible to the negative effects of time, age-related changes and external influences.

Exercises

Exercises aimed at activating blood circulation in the eye area and eliminating the manifestations of “crow’s feet” are based on the movement of the eyes and face, which can cause blood flow in this area, which will improve the process of nourishing skin cells and eliminate wrinkles. Circular movements of the eyes clockwise and counterclockwise, alternating eyes wide open and closed - such movements, performed in a calm rhythm, 10-12 repetitions in each direction, will bring the expected result, provided that you exercise regularly.

Massage

Many cosmetologists recommend a massage course to eliminate crow's feet. After all, performing a course of massage will help eliminate many skin defects, increase the degree of blood flow to problem areas, and cause an enhanced process of tissue regeneration. Massage can be performed by a professional massage therapist familiar with the technique of performing massage movements around the eyes, or at home independently.

Massage movements can also be performed when applying moisturizing preparations to the skin around the eyes. The main condition for obtaining a pronounced positive result is the regularity of sessions and taking into account the lines of least stretch of the skin.

Oils

Orange and grapefruit oil, lavender and ylang-ylang - these types of essential oils are best suited for caring for dry and aging skin around the eyes. Thanks to masks with these oils, you can achieve amazing results in rejuvenating facial skin and eliminating “crow’s feet” around the eyes.

Such oils can be used either alone or in a mixture. The base is any neutral oil that has a minimally pronounced odor; a few drops of the selected essential oil are added to it and the resulting mixture is applied to the area around the eyes with patting movements for improved absorption.

Masks

Crow's feet respond well to masks based on an active moisturizing agent. It can be natural honey, avocado, beeswax.

The following masks have the greatest effect on eliminating the appearance of crow’s feet:

• honey mask - a couple of drops of lemon juice and a spoonful of cream are added to natural honey and applied to the area of ​​the face with pronounced “crow’s feet” and left to act for 15-20 minutes;
• a mask with white or green clay in olive oil nourishes the skin and restores its water balance;

We fight crow's feet with the help of masks described in the video below:

How does massage work?

Massage is one of the most effective methods in the fight against crow's feet. Its action:

— aimed at improving metabolic processes;

- makes blood circulation more active;

- under its influence, small wrinkles are smoothed out;

- promotes better absorption of nutrients and oxygen by skin cells;

- strengthens the muscles around the eyes.

Also, thanks to improved metabolism, the required amount of collagen is produced. And after some time, the swelling disappears completely.

Home methods

At home, you can successfully fight crow's feet, especially if you start the fight without waiting for the wrinkles to deepen.

Will help get rid of wrinkles:

• gymnastics;
• massage;
• masks.

Gymnastics

If you regularly do a small set of exercises, you can significantly improve your skin condition.

You should start with a warm-up:

• look up and down, left and right (3 times);
• “draw” the infinity sign with our eyes (3 times);
• we rotate our eyes, describing a circle of the largest possible diameter (3 times in one direction, 3 times in the opposite direction);
• Blink as quickly as possible for 30 seconds.

Main complex:

• We tighten the lower eyelid. We lower the upper eyelid, and try to pull the lower one up to close the eyes. Repeat 15 times.
• We tighten the upper eyelids. We place our fingers on the upper eyelids, look up, trying to overcome the resistance of the fingers. Repeat 15 times.
• We eliminate wrinkles. Open your eyes as wide as possible, hold the upper and lower eyelids with two fingers (thumb and index). We place our middle fingers just above the eyebrows and press the skin here. We look straight, straining the upper eyelid, holding the tension for 5 seconds. Then we turn our gaze upward and strain the lower eyelid. Hold the tension for 5 seconds. Relax, repeat 9 more times.

Having completed the complex, we repeat the warm-up.

Massage

An effective procedure for rejuvenation is massage. You can do it every morning. The procedure is carried out as follows:

• Apply cosmetic vegetable oil (for example, olive or almond) to cleansed skin, let the oil absorb slightly;
• Using the pads of your ring fingers, perform light stroking movements around the eyes. We start from the outer corner of the eye and move to the bridge of the nose along the lower eyelid, then move to the upper eyelid and move in the opposite direction;
• we move on to performing tapping movements, for this we use three fingers (except for the thumb and little finger), at the outer corners of the eyes we need to tap more intensely;
• repeat the first movement.

An ice cube massage is no less effective in combating wrinkles. Exposure to cold stimulates blood vessels, which improves blood circulation and promotes skin rejuvenation.

The massage should be light and do not apply strong pressure to the skin. At the same time, make sure that the ice does not stay in the same place for too long, as prolonged exposure to cold can cause vasospasm.

To perform a massage, you can freeze mineral or filtered water. But it is better to make ice from a decoction of parsley, chamomile or sage.

Masks

It is recommended regularly to moisturize, nourish and rejuvenate the skin. Homemade cosmetic masks should be applied to thoroughly cleansed skin. Here are some effective recipes:

• Oily. This is a very effective treatment for dry, aging skin. For preparation you will need any cosmetic oil. To a teaspoon of base you need to add five drops of tocopherol oil solution. Apply the prepared composition liberally to the skin of the eyelids. Lie quietly for a quarter of an hour, then carefully remove excess with a dry cloth.
• Honey. Melt a teaspoon of natural honey, mix it with the same amount of oil (it is best to take wheat germ or olive oil). Add half the yolk of a chicken egg to the mixture and grind. Apply the composition to the skin of the eyelids for half an hour.
• Night. This version of the mask is applied at night. You need to apply fresh aloe juice to the skin of your eyelids, do not rinse off. In the morning, wash your face and apply eye cream to your skin.

Proper massage

How to do a massage correctly so as not to harm yourself? To do this, you need to follow just a few rules:

1. This procedure must be carried out every day before going on a night's rest.
2. You need to massage on skin cleansed of cosmetics.
3. Hands should not only be clean, but also slightly moisturized with emollient cream.
4. Before starting the procedure, you need to close your eyes.
5. Lightly touching the pads of your fingers, rub the upper eyelids.
6. From the inner corner of the eye, use tapping movements to move to the outer corner.
7. Repeat the movement, only this time move from the outer corner to the inner one.
8. Repeating in the same directions, only replace tapping with pinching.
9. You need to finish the massage with circular movements.

Effect of massage

The whole process will take no more than 10 minutes. As a result, there is a feeling of complete relaxation, and in the morning there will be no bruises or bags under the eyes, and after a short period of time it will become noticeable that the crow’s feet are gradually disappearing.

You should do the above procedure every day for one week, after which take a short break. At the same time, you should not ignore masks that you prepare yourself, and are also intended for the same purpose as massage. Use them a couple of times a week, but check for any allergic reactions before use.

Method No. 2: mesotherapy

If you have time for rejuvenation and a desire to preserve natural, familiar facial expressions, wrinkles around the eyes can be effectively smoothed out using mesotherapy or biorevitalization . These procedures, unlike the first option, will have to be repeated in a course: from 3-4 in the case of biorevitalization, and up to 10-12 mesotherapy procedures.

The essence of this method of getting rid of wrinkles around the eyes is to trigger skin renewal using microinjections of vitamin-mineral and peptide cocktails and hyaluronic acid. As a result, the division of young cells is activated, the synthesis of own collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid fibers is enhanced. The injections are painless because... An anesthetic cream is first applied to the skin.

Obvious disadvantages of the methods: the need for multiple repetitions, minor bruises from injections and an unpresentable appearance for several days after each procedure. Although, within a day after the injections, bruises can be disguised with a corrector. You will notice the result a week after the first biorevitalization procedure, or after the fourth mesotherapy procedure.

It is important to complete the entire assigned course, because... the skin must have time to completely renew itself, otherwise the result of rejuvenation will be unstable, and “crow’s feet” under the eyes may reappear. Mesotherapy needs to be repeated twice a year, a course of biorevitalization – once or twice a year.

If the “crow’s feet” are already deep enough and cannot be 100% corrected by the methods listed above, you will have to use peelings: chemical or laser. Please note: do not replace injections with peelings, but rather add a course of peelings to mesotherapy, biorevitalization or botulinum therapy.

Here the choice is up to the doctor: choose classic TCA or retinoic . Or we can recommend laser perforation, fractional thermolysis, and perhaps classic CO2 laser peeling. These procedures will speed up the process of renewal of the middle and deep layers of the skin and consolidate the results of injection rejuvenation for a longer period. But you will have to face such troubles as a rather long - 7 days or more - recovery period, the need for strict restrictions on sun exposure, and the risk of pigmentation in the area affected by the laser. Such problems are less likely to occur with laser perforation and superficial chemical peels. In any case, it is up to the doctor to decide how to remove crow’s feet under the eyes. The frequency of procedures in this case is also determined by the doctor - this can be a course of 2-4 peels, or it can be a single exposure.

A vitamin mask will help!

When crow's feet around the eyes are visible in the mirror, what helps in dealing with them? Homemade masks. Now let's look at some of the most effective ones.

Vitamin mask, for which you will need vitamins A and B purchased at the pharmacy. You can simply lubricate wrinkles with these liquids or use them for a mask, to which you can also add:

— a little honey, preferably natural;

- two teaspoons of castor oil;

- one drop of each vitamin.

Preventive measures

Crow's feet in the eye area can appear in women at any age. Due to the negative impact of many factors, the skin loses its elasticity. She no longer has the strength to restore her previous form.

In this case, timely support is important for the skin, which consists in taking preventive actions.

• The use of facial cosmetics is strictly in accordance with age and skin type. Depending on the time of year, use protective creams and masks.
• Establish a comfortable daily routine and eliminate lack of sleep.
• Every evening before going to bed, any makeup should be removed from the face. You should avoid washing your face with soap. The optimal remedy would be lotion or milk.
• Adjust your diet, giving preference to fresh vegetables and fruits. Make sure you drink the required amount of water.
• Protect your eyes from exposure to direct sunlight by using sunglasses.
• Overly active emotions on the face should be avoided. This provokes the appearance of unnecessary facial wrinkles.

Beauty and youth are reflected in women's eyes, so it is necessary to resist the aging of the delicate skin of the eyelids. You need to act at the slightest suspicion of the appearance of crow's feet around the eyes.

Wrinkles can be painlessly reduced or removed only through a combination of effective methods: the use of cosmetics, homemade masks and massage. Then there will be no need to resort to a radical method.

Herbal mask

For the herbal mask you will need infusions of calendula and cornflower in equal proportions and a little aloe juice.

The oil mask requires olive, burdock and castor oils. They should be mixed in equal quantities and steamed. After applying to the face, rub into the necessary areas.

To make a green mask, finely chop dill and parsley. Squeeze a little to separate the juice. Add a couple of drops of either cosmetic or any other vegetable oil to it. To avoid getting into the eyes, it is best to keep the mask in gauze, which can already be applied to the eyelids.

Women's opinion

If we compare hyaluron, reviews of which are almost all positive, and homemade products, the difference is insignificant. It’s just that in the second case, getting rid of small wrinkles in the eye area will require a little more time and effort to achieve the expected result.

You can contact specialists, and they will recommend the best cream for crow's feet around the eyes. Only professional cosmetologists will be able to choose a product that is right for you.

Effective folk remedies

Traditional medicine also tells how to get rid of crow's feet around the eyes. The moisturizing and nourishing properties of many foods and plants are widely used in the fight against expression lines.

• Aloe juice has a regenerating and rejuvenating effect. Cotton swabs moistened with the product are applied to the eye area for 20 minutes.
• Consuming olive oil enhances metabolic processes and collagen production. The skin improves and smoothes. Heat the oil slightly and add grapefruit juice. A moistened gauze cloth is applied to the face. The duration of the procedure is 30 minutes.
• Sour cream and cream contain many useful substances that promote moisture retention in cells. The product is applied in a thick layer around the eyes and left for 15 minutes.
• Honey masks have a good effect. They are used both in pure form and in combination with other ingredients: egg yolk or oatmeal. Such products last no more than 20 minutes.
• Laminaria mixtures are available and easy to use. Dry seaweed powder can be purchased at pharmacies. It is diluted with water in a 1:1 ratio, a little vegetable oil is added and applied to the wrinkles. Laminaria sometimes causes an allergic reaction, so you should be careful when using it.
• You can prepare a remedy from dill and parsley. It is recommended to mash the grass a little so that the juice comes out. Then add a little olive oil.

Masks must be used in combination with other effective methods: massages, exercises, compresses.
