Crow’s feet, those fine lines that fan out from the corners of our eyes, are often among the first signs of aging. The delicate skin around the eyes is naturally thinner, making it more prone to wrinkles caused by facial expressions like smiling, squinting, or frowning — but with the right care, including products like Eminence Organics, you can help keep this area smooth and youthful.
Fortunately, there are ways to address crow’s feet and even delay their appearance. From lifestyle adjustments to non-invasive treatments, we have options to soften these lines and maintain a youthful look. Understanding what causes crow’s feet is key to finding the right solutions, and with the right care, we can keep our skin looking smooth and refreshed for longer. Let’s explore the most effective methods to tackle this common concern.
What Are Crow’s Feet?
Crow’s feet, also known as laugh lines or smile lines, are fine wrinkles that appear at the outer corners of the eyes. They spread outward in a pattern resembling the claws of a crow, hence the name. These lines develop due to the natural aging of the skin and repeated facial expressions, such as smiling or squinting.
What Age Do You Get Crow’s Feet?
Crow’s feet commonly start appearing in our early 30s, but they might show earlier in some individuals depending on lifestyle factors, genetics, and environmental exposure. The eye area has skin that is 40% thinner than the rest of the face, making it one of the most prone to developing these wrinkles. Repeated expressions combined with factors like sun exposure, smoking, or pollution contribute to their early onset.
Using the best anti-aging products for eyes, such as an anti-wrinkle serum for eyes, can delay their formation. Proactive measures, including sunscreen and hydration, also play a crucial role in maintaining smooth skin around eyes and reducing premature fine lines.
How To Prevent Crow’s Feet Naturally
Minimizing crow’s feet requires adopting preventive measures that protect and nourish the delicate skin around the eyes. These proactive steps lessen the likelihood of premature fine lines and wrinkles.
1. Wear sunscreen and stay out of the sun
Use broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily to prevent crow’s feet by blocking harmful UV rays. Sun exposure accelerates collagen breakdown, leading to early wrinkles. Limit outdoor activities during peak UV hours, and wear protective accessories like sunglasses and wide-brimmed hats to shield the sensitive eye area. Regular sunscreen use is an essential part of any strategy to reduce fine lines around eyes.
2. Avoid Smoking Cigarettes And Excessive Drinking
Nicotine in cigarettes and chemicals in tobacco deplete collagen and elastin, making skin lose elasticity and exaggerating wrinkles. Excessive alcohol consumption dehydrates skin, leaving it dull and more prone to fine lines. To maintain smooth skin around eyes, avoid smoking and limit alcohol intake while focusing on hydration through water and nutrient-rich foods.
3. Check If You’re Squinting
Habitual squinting strains eye muscles and increases the risk of creases forming at the corners of the eyes. Light sensitivity, particularly in individuals with lighter eye pigmentation, can accentuate this issue. Always carry sunglasses to protect against sunlight and reduce squinting triggers. Ensuring your vision is corrected by wearing prescribed glasses or contact lenses also prevents unnecessary strain, aiding in the prevention of crow’s feet.
4. Wear a Silk Eye Mask While You Sleep
Wearing a silk eye mask while you sleep helps to darken the room, encouraging deeper sleep and preventing squinting — a common cause of wrinkles around the eyes. Silk is also gentle on the delicate skin around the eyes, reducing friction and minimizing the formation of fine lines over time. By incorporating a silk mask into your nighttime routine, you can protect the eye area and wake up with smoother, more refreshed skin.

6 Step Massage for Eye Lift and Reduce Crow's Feet
Taking care of the delicate skin around our eyes doesn’t have to be complicated. By combining consistent skincare routines with targeted products and lifestyle adjustments, we can slow the appearance of crow’s feet and maintain a refreshed look.
Step 1: Release Brow Tension
Place your thumbs under your brows and your index fingers on top of them. Gently pinch along your brows about five times or more. This helps release built-up tension in the brow area.
Step 2: Improve Circulation
Boost circulation by gently pinching the area under your eyes. Using your thumb and index finger, start at the inner corner of your eye and move toward your cheekbones.
Step 3: Release Tension In Your Temples
To relieve tension in your temples, place a finger from each hand on both temples. Apply light pressure and massage until the area feels more relaxed.
Step 4: Drag And Glide
Apply a small amount of eye cream to your fingertips. Lightly tap around the eye area, then switch to a pressing and gliding motion. Start at the undereye and glide toward your temples, following the curve of your cheekbones.
Step 5: Lift Your Brows
Use your left hand to lift your right brow. With your right hand, gently press upward from your undereye to your brow. Repeat on the other side.
Step 6: Stretch Apart Your Eyebrow and Undereye
Lift your right brow with your left hand and gently pull down the undereye with your right hand to stretch the area. Hold for 10 seconds without pulling too hard. Repeat on the other side. This helps soften the appearance of crow’s feet and wrinkles.
