The tiny lines radiating from the corner of the eyes may add character to your face, but they also make you look older. Crow’s feet can be temporarily eliminated by Botox Cosmetic, but there are certain habits you can observe to delay the onset of such facial aging symptoms.
Crow’s feet are the wrinkles at the outer corner of each eye that deepen every time you smile. In older people, however, they remain visible even when the face isn’t expressing emotions.
The development of crow’s feet may be unavoidable, but here are a few things you can do to prevent them from appearing sooner rather than later:
1. Quit smoking
Smoking leads to the production of free radicals in your body and promotes inflammation—two issues known to accelerate the aging of the skin. Quit smoking if you don’t want to have crow’s feet earlier than is typical.
2. Avoid prolonged sun exposure
Because the sun’s UV rays harm the skin, spending extended periods of time in the sun can lead to the premature aging of the skin and other conditions. Whenever you go out, wear sunglasses, a hat, and sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or above. You should also avoid tanning beds.
3. Eat healthy
There are many foods that can help protect your skin from premature aging. For example, certain vegetables, fruits, and omega 3 (fish and chia seeds) can prevent inflammation and free radical production. You should also avoid bad foods and excessive sugar intake, which will do the opposite.
4. Use cosmetic treatments
Using a foundation or moisturizer with an SPF of 15 or more will protect your skin from the sun. Eye creams containing collagen and antioxidants will also help. Tretinoin creams promote new skin production. Chemical peels remove old skin to leave behind smoother new skin.
Botox Cosmetic
The FDA-approved Botox Cosmetic is among the best solutions to wrinkles and lines.
Botox Cosmetic eliminates fine lines such as crow’s feet, whether they’ve only begun to appear or are already highly noticeable.

Botox Cosmetic injects the neurotoxic protein, botulinum toxin type A, into the subdermal muscles in the outer corner of either eye. This paralyzes the aforementioned muscles, which relaxes and smoothens the overlying tissue to give you beautiful, young-looking skin at the side of each eye. With a good physician, you can expect the Botox Cosmetic treatment to last 3 to 4 months, sometimes more.
