There are a few who take aging gracefully and are happy with the smiley look that wrinkles around eyes provide to the face. Some really get disturbed with the appearance of these lines which is also known as crow's feet. They try to get rid of them at any cost. First of all the reasons behind wrinkles should be found. The next step is to do your best to avoid the formation of additional or deeper wrinkles.
Squinting, laughing and smiling are the main reasons behind eye wrinkles. The situation is worsened by the ultraviolet rays of sun, general ageing and skin dryness. Let us analyze the ways to overcome the predicament.
Normal creams which are good for the rest of the face would not be so for the skin around the eye, since the skin around the eye is extremely soft. Hence you have to go for a good eye cream that contains a high SPF sun protection. Apart from this you should become selective in using other skin care products. The cleanser and toner may cause skin to dry around causing wrinkles around eyes.
Nobody can advise you to stop laughing or smiling. Even ten, you should be cautious regarding you're the gestures your face makes while indulging in them. Once you become alert, you can greatly reduce the wrinkling effects they produce on your face. Wearing sub glasses can also help while driving to ward off the hot rays of the sun.
Treating eye wrinkles depends on your financial position and time you are willing to spend. Long term, relatively inexpensive treatment is available for those who are looking for it. If you think on those lines it is better to get a good quality wrinkle cream that contains Retin-A. This will help in reducing and improving the lines to a great extent.
Wrinkles around eyes can be treated using a series of laser treatments which stimulate the production of collagen. Though this is an expensive treatment, it gives the skin a supple, smooth look. There are other short term cures available including injecting Botox. This restricts the movement of muscles, but is effective only for a few months and as such should be administered periodically.
