Effective fight against wrinkles under the eyes – eliminating crow’s feet

Wrinkle removal, the removal of mimic and under-eye wrinkles (around the eyes) is a challenge in the lives of many women aged 30-40, but especially over 50. Of course, it is not only the beautiful who are looking for the secret of “eternal youth”, but men are also looking for solutions , home methods, creams, and cosmetic procedures that can help them get rid of wrinkles or at least reduce the depth of furrows and crow’s feet. 

The primary cause of wrinkles is – not surprisingly – aging, but numerous environmental and lifestyle factors also contribute to the loss of skin elasticity. We wrote about this in the following article: Crow’s feet, wrinkled skin at a young age? – Causes of wrinkles under the eyes . In this article, we examine and compare different wrinkle-removal solutions. Everyone should decide for themselves whether it is worth fighting wrinkles or accepting aging as a part of life. Let’s not forget that mental harmony also contributes to beauty, so wrinkle-free skin alone does not give happiness, but by accepting ourselves, it can really increase our self-confidence if we can regain the elasticity and firmness of our skin with a proven method. 

Removing wrinkles under the eyes at home 

Eye wrinkle removal at home is not as easy as we think. What immediately comes to mind is a face mask. Unfortunately, even with most natural solutions, it is advised to leave the eye area out. It is no coincidence, since the eye is one of our most sensitive organs. In the case of quality eye wrinkle creams, the most important thing is the ocular tolerance measured during clinical testing , i.e. in testing, it is more important than the wrinkle-reducing effect that the product does not irritate the eyes. 

If you want to reduce expression lines with home remedies, remember that what is good for your skin may not be good for your eyes. The following list includes a few home remedies that many people swear by. We take no responsibility for these, so experiment at your own discretion!

Removing eye wrinkles at home – what women’s magazines recommend

• coffee and cocoa wrap – a natural source of antioxidants
• boiled potatoes – after cooling 😉
• oil and honey – (olive, coconut, almond oil) replenishes the skin with vitamins E and A
• yogurt pack – skin-smoothing AHA acid content
• aloe vera leaf gel – firms
• ginger with banana – elastin production booster
• cucumber rings – as seen in the movies
• Carrots with honey – vitamin A + antioxidants
• milk powder – its lactic acid and alpha-hydroxy acid content exfoliates dead skin cells

Eye wrinkle removal at home – with facial massage and facial exercises

Of the above active ingredients, oils are also excellent for facial massage to stimulate blood and lymph circulation in the eye area. With a few minutes of massage and facial exercises a day, we can “counteract” the formed mimic wrinkles. For example, we can consciously relax and tighten critical areas. You can read about how to perform facial exercises here . 

A healthy diet can help prevent the development of wrinkles

Vitamin C, among other things, protects the cells that make up the skin from aging, UV radiation, and other harmful environmental effects. In addition to vitamin C, we should definitely pay attention to supplementing  the “skin-friendly” vitamins A, E, and B, as well as zinc , iron, selenium , and omega 3 fatty acids in adequate amounts.

Foods high in vitamin C – help keep skin elastic for a long time:

• citrus fruits
• green pepper
• strawberry
• raspberry
• kiwi
• cabbage

Foods containing skin-regenerating vitamin A:

• liver
• egg yolk
• sea ​​fish
• broccoli
• parsley

Foods containing vitamin E that counteract the effects of environmental pollution on the skin:

• oil seeds
• vegetable oils (olive, corn, sunflower, rapeseed oil)
• wheat germ

Foods containing skin-beautifying vitamin B:

• meat
• offal
• oatmeal
• egg
• dairy products
• wheat bran
• green leafy vegetables

Foods containing zinc that help metabolism:

• red meats (e.g. beef)
• oyster
• crustaceans

Foods containing Omega-3 fatty acids – prevent premature skin aging:

• oil seeds
• nuts
• fatty fish (salmon, trout, tuna)
• linseed oil

Removing crow’s feet with makeup

Applying makeup to wrinkled eyes with inappropriate materials can backfire. It is important to choose a concealer and foundation that matches the color of your skin (it can even be a shade lighter). Strive for quality, don’t skimp on cosmetics, because if the wrong ingredients accumulate under your eyes, wrinkles will become even more noticeable, as if you hadn’t tried to correct the bags and wrinkles under your eyes with makeup . Don’t forget to wash off your makeup before going to bed. Eye shadow, concealer, etc. left on your skin can result in puffy, baggy eyes in the morning. 

Eye creams for people over 30, 40 and 50

When applying makeup, it is also a basic requirement to apply cosmetics to hydrated skin. In addition to anti-wrinkle creams, internal hydration is also important, which means drinking enough (2-4 liters) of fluids, preferably clean water. Many people forget about drinking water, but this good habit can help eliminate the tiny crow’s feet around the eyes. However, in the case of deep eye wrinkles, the problem must also be treated from the outside.

Since this area is sensitive and the pores are small, it is not enough to use plain face creams, as the active ingredients in them cannot penetrate deep enough, so the positive effect is not as strong as that of serums specifically recommended for the eye area . 

If you combine eye cream with facial moisturizer and makeup, avoid petroleum derivatives! 

What is the best anti-wrinkle cream in 2020?

Everyone believes in the cream they make or sell, so tests and recommendations are usually nothing more than paid PR articles.

What should we consider when choosing the best eye cream?

• Price – not the most important factor. If the cosmetic is too cheap, it is suspicious that it does not have the right quality and quantity of active ingredients to eliminate wrinkles. However, an expensive anti-wrinkle cream may not cost that much because of its effect. For example, in the case of popular cosmetics, manufacturers also make the customer pay for advertising costs. This should not be the primary consideration when choosing a product!
• Clinical testing – does the product have independent expert opinion regarding its effects on the eyes and skin?
• What ingredients does the cosmetic contain? Does the eye cream contain petroleum derivatives, artificial substances, or natural ingredients?
• Is there evidence , video of the effect of anti-wrinkle cream ?
• Is it effective in the long run ?
• What do customers say about it ?  

Our  InstanTENSE Plus lifting serum is free of parabens, fragrances, dyes and alcohol. Its ingredients include clay minerals, plant extracts, moisturizers, peptides and naturally produced amino acids. A 56-day clinical trial conducted by the Milan-based independent research institute Bio Basic Europe in January 2020 on 20 volunteers found no skin or eye irritation associated with the serum.

Under-eye wrinkle filling, botox, laser treatment, plastic surgery

Due to the risk, we recommend these interventions only as a last resort (or not at all). 

During laser treatment, the thermal effect of the laser causes the connective tissue fiber network to contract. The disadvantage of the laser is that it can only be used in salons and medical aesthetic centers. If this is the choice, we definitely recommend medical application.

Botox (botulinum toxin) is a protein that doctors inject under the skin into the muscles responsible for the formation of mimic wrinkles. As a result, the nerve-muscle transmission is almost completely stopped, muscle function weakens, almost paralyzes, and the wrinkle smoothes out. Since the effect is immediate, you can “get used to it.” Excessive botox results in a paralyzed “larva face.” Unfortunately, patients’ sense of reality can also be distorted in this case: what is considered a successful wrinkle-removal treatment is a horror in the eyes of outsiders. For example, like in these celebrity photos !

Before you go under the knife, laser, or needle, try one of the wrinkle removal methods listed above!
