Learning how to prevent and treat crow's feet is one of the
top skin care concerns of women. Those little wrinkles that
start to form on the outer corners of your eyes are often
inevitable, but they can be treated! Some people take
meticulous care of their skin and still see these laugh
lines, where others barely use any sunscreen and are line-
free! If you're bothered by the sight of crow's feet, take
a look at these nine simple tips that can help you prevent
and treat crow's feet!

1. Stop Squinting

Before we get into how to treat crow's feet, let's talk
about one of the top ways we get those pesky wrinkles in
the first place! Smiling, squinting and sleeping are the
top three ways we get crow's feet. We don't want to cut
back on smiling so we have to nip the squinting in the
bud! Wear sunglasses, and if you need corrective lenses,
get some prescription contacts or glasses ASAP!

2. Sleep Smart

The other culprit in crow's feet was sleeping. It's not
actually sleeping that can lead those little crinkles but
the way we sleep. Sleeping on your back can help eliminate
lines from the creases on your pillow but if you just
can't sleep on your back, using a U-shaped travel pillow
or using a satin pillowcase.

3. Moisturize

Keep up the moisture levels in your body. Do this by
drinking plenty of water and using hydrating creams on
your face and eye area. Our skin sometimes gets dried out
from lack of water or hydration, and as a result we get
fine lines and wrinkles. Drink water and use creams that
contain retinoids, copper peptides and alpha hydroxy acids.

4. Peels

If you already have crow's feet and are looking for a
simple treatment to treat those bad boys, try a chemical
peel. You can get this peel done at a medical spa or
doctor's office, and it removes layers of dead skin so
you're left with fresh, radiant skin.

5. Grapes

Did you know that you can find grapes on the ingredient
list of many anti-aging skin care products? Grapes contain
antioxidants, vitamins, phytonutrients and phytochemicals.
All of these elements help protect and nourish our skin so
it looks its best. Try mashing a handful of green grapes
and applying the juice with a cotton ball on the eyes,
mouth and forehead area. Rinse it off after 5 minutes and
repeat it 2-3 times weekly to help reduce fine lines!

6. Egg Whites

Another natural and easy at-home method to treat crow's
feet is to use an egg white mask. Egg whites can tighten
the skin and help reduce the appearance of crow's feet.
All you need is the egg white from one egg! Apply the egg
white to a clean face and leave it on for about 15 minutes,
then rinse off with warm water. You'll be left with tighter
pores and firmer skin!

7. Take Breaks

An important tip to prevent crow's feet is to give your
eyes a break! If you sit in front of a computer all day,
be sure to give your eyes hourly breaks and consider
getting a screen filter to reduce glare. Also, if you use
an e-reader often, make sure you watch the light conditions. Anything that can strain your eyes can cause crow's feet so it's important to stay on top of these things!

8. Stop Smoking

I know, you've heard it a million times but smoking not
only robs your skin of collagen and elastin, the smoke can
also cause you to squint, which is a big no-no! If you
needed another reason to quit, do it for the sake of your
skin! Every cigarette you smoke, you're losing valuable
collagen and elastin so as hard as it might be, it's
definitely worth it to quit!

9. Botox

The most permanent fix to treat crow's feet is Botox. If
you've tried eye creams, peels and other natural remedies
and they're just not doing it for you, Botox could be a
good option. Talk to your doctor or dermatologist if you
want a more permanent solution to crow's feet.

There are many ways to treat and prevent crow's feet. Be
sure to try out some of the natural home remedies and eye
creams before you resort to some of the more permanent
solutions. You never know, it could just take a few simple
changes to make a big difference in your skin!
