Wrinkles Around the Eyes - Prevention and Treatment

To me (and I'm sure I'm not alone in this), the eyes are one of the most attractive features of any person. They can tell you all you need to know about someone within seconds. As we age, time begins to take its inevitable toll, causing wrinkles to form on the skin, especially around the eyes. It's amazing that such a small feature of the human body can be so adversely affected by time. Wrinkles that form around the eyes can are affectionately known as crow's feet and can be incredibly frustrating to reduce. Crow's feet are caused by a number of different factors which can be prevented and treated with a number of different cream, gels, procedures and all natural remedies.

One of the best methods of prevention when it comes to wrinkles is to avoid prolonged exposure to the sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation. UV rays are the number one cause of wrinkles, sun spots, and skin cancer. Remembering to always wear a quality sun screen with an SPF of 40 or higher is the best way to prevent wrinkles from forming as well as preventing sun burn/poisoning, and other skin issues cause by the sun.

Remember to wear UV protective sunglasses whenever you're in bright, direct sunlight because harsh radiations from the sun will not only cause wrinkles around the eyes but it can also damage the eye tissue. Constant squinting from harsh sunlight or poor vision can eventually lead to defined crow's feet. If you have to squint to see, go to the eye doctor and get a check up, you may need glasses.

Diet, hydration and smoking all contribute to wrinkles around the eyes. Eating plenty of fruits and vegetables that are rich in antioxidants and essential vitamins provides a quality of health that fast and processed foods cannot deliver. Antioxidants help to neutralize cancer causing Free Radicals in the skin. Drinking the recommended amounts of water (between eight and ten glasses) helps to flush out impurities and toxins from the skin that can cause blemishes and wrinkles

Obviously the biggest factor in terms of the formation of wrinkles around the eyes is age. As we get older our bodies naturally slow down the production of essential compounds like collagen and elastin that keep our skin tight and wrinkle free. The best way to battle the effects of wrinkles around the eyes is by using an all natural eye gel or cream that is made with Matrixyl. Matrixyl is a revolutionary copper peptide that is rapidly finding its way into some of the best eye creams on the market. Matrixyl actually stimulates the regeneration of healthy skin cells as well as jump starting the reproduction of collagen and elastin, making it ideal for being applied in a cream that is directly absorbed into the skin.

If you want to prevent wrinkles and other signs of aging, the best thing to do is get an early start. Protect your skin as best as you can from the sun, and drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins and rejuvenate the skin. Wearing sun block and daily use of a eye wrinkle cream can help prevent and treat any sun damage or other age related factors that may occur.
