Crow’s feet are commonly referred to as laugh lines, however there are various reasons for their appearance. From dehydration, nutrient deficiencies and pollution, to sun damage, smoking and alcohol, it seems crow’s feet are an inventible part of the aging process.
And as we get older it becomes even more important to take proper care of our skin, making sure it receives the extra moisture and sensitive care it needs. This means to successfully get rid of crow’s feet, you may need to change your daily regimen and add more than just a professional eye cream to the routine.
- PAPAYA
Papaya is high in vitamin C, which helps to fight free radicals that damage skin. It also helps stimulate collagen production in the skin, creating a more youthful and firm glow. The most magical part of the papaya is an enzyme called papain. The papain literally helps to remove dead skin cells, successfully and visibly tightening the skin.
To use papaya to get rid of crow’s feet, simply rub a small slice of raw papaya on the fine lines and let the juice absorb into the skin for about 10-15 minutes. Rinse off with cool water, and repeat up to twice per day for optimum results.
- MILK
Whole milk contains glycolic acid, which helps to exfoliate the skin and also help the production of collagen. Before you begin application, be sure you have purchased organic, whole, hormone-free milk; otherwise you may not receive the best results and may possibly irritate the skin.
To get rid of crow’s feet simply soak a clean cotton cloth in the milk until fully marinated. Place the cloth (cut into small pieces for easiest application) on the crow’s feet area for 10 minutes and then rinse with cold water. This is also a gentle enough treatment to be performed up to twice per day.
- COCONUT OIL
Coconut oil’s special ingredient is vitamin E, which nourishes the skin cells and helps to reconnect broken skin tissue. This is imperative when attempting to get rid of crow’s feet and can also help control the overall sagging of the skin.
You only need a few drops of the oil for application, and no need to rinse. Simply rub the coconut oil into the wrinkles around your eyes before bed and then go to sleep. You’ll soon start to notice the results in the morning, making this one of the easiest ways to get rid of crow’s feet.
- GREEN TEA
Green tea is full of antioxidants named catechins. These are absorbed into the skin helping reduce tissue damage and contracting the skin cells, creating a tighter skin appearance. While the green tea has many health benefits when consumed orally, the topical application offers a whole world of separate benefits.
To get rid of crow’s feet simply wash your face with cold green tea, instead of warm water, or apply with a cotton ball or pad directly on the crow’s feet area. You can perform this up to once per day, and will quickly realize the overall anti-aging benefits.
- AVACADO
Avocados are rich in fatty acids, as well as vitamin D and E. The monounsaturated fatty acids help rejuvenate dry skin, and the vitamins help collagen production in the skin, making it the perfect mixture to get rid of crow’s feet.
Mash the avocado (about ½ of one) until smooth enough to apply to the crow’s feet area around your eyes. Let the avocado sit for at least 15 minutes and rinse of with warm water. This is also extremely healthy and nourishing, not only to get rid of crow’s feet, but for the entire face and may be performed daily.
