Crow"s Feet a Big Problem for Many Women
Crow's feet are little, but they can be big problems for women.
The tiny lines that form at the corners of the eyes can get bigger.
They are often the first wrinkles that a woman sees on her face.
If you have just noticed those first fine lines, there are some things you should know about the possible causes and the best solutions for crow's feet.
People have been trying to figure out what causes wrinkles for hundreds, if not thousands of years.
Wearing a hat to shield the face from the sun was probably one of the first efforts that women made to prevent them.
Years ago, many women noticed that people who spent a lot of time in the sun developed more wrinkles.
Modern research has shown that UV radiation from the sun causes several things to happen within the skin that leads to wrinkles and other visible signs of aging.
First, the sun's rays are drying.
Excessive dryness can lead to wrinkles because dry skin is more easily damaged.
Crow's feet often develop before other wrinkles, because the skin is thinner in the area around the eyes and is damaged more easily.
Another thing that happens during exposure to UV radiation is that free radical molecules naturally present in the skin become more active.
If your skin's antioxidant content is high, the free radical molecules are neutralized before they can do any damage.
If no antioxidants are around to help or if you spend so much time in the sun that the antioxidants are all used up, free radical molecules can damage the skin's cells and fibers.
Exposure to cigarette smoke is another thing that causes free radical molecules to become more active.
That's why women who smoke have more wrinkles.
The sun also makes you squint.
Squinting increases your risk of crow's feet, as do other habitual facial expressions.
The fine lines do not usually appear when you are young for several reasons.
The skin's antioxidant content is higher in younger skin than it is in older skin.
As we age, there is a decrease in the skin cell turnover rate.
The skin is basically older.
There is also a decrease in the production of new elastic fibers.
When the skin is firm and elastic, fine lines quickly stretch back out.
Another age-related issue is a decrease in the skin's hyaluronic acid content.
Hyaluronic acid is involved in maintaining the skin's moisture balance.
It plays a role in tissue repair and promotes the production of new elastic fibers.
It is also involved in the skin cell turnover rate.
So, low levels of hyaluronic acid are a big problem.
There are many cosmetic treatments for crow's feet.
One of the most popular is Botox injections.
While the injections are popular, they are not without risk.
They don't always work.
When they do, they have the effect of paralyzing tiny facial muscles.
There is really no need to take the risk or spend the money on Botox.
There are natural nutraceutical solutions for crow's feet.
