Often thought of as the earliest wrinkles to appear on the face, crow’s feet are the fine to deep lines found around the eyes. These lines are caused from repetitive squinting, laughing and facial expressions as well as nutritional deficiencies and loss of natural moisture barrier of the skin. The delicate skin around the eye is thinner and thus more easily damaged by sun exposure and prone to wrinkling sooner. Years of UV damage cause this fine skin to lose its elasticity, and once the collagen breakdown is severe enough, temporary wrinkle patterns caused by facial movements eventually become permanent.
Smokers may develop crow's feet earlier than those who don't smoke. Smoking makes you unconsciously squint your eyes trying to avoid the smoke's irritating and drying effects as it robs your body of vital nutrients.
Perpetual dieters are also in danger of rapid aging caused by collagen and elastin loss due to nutritional deficiencies. Taking good quality supplements that target deficiencies is the key. Dr. Roy can order a test offered by Spectracell that does a functional intracellular analysis of nutrient status. In 3-9 months, you can have all your deficiencies corrected without guessing what you need.
The sooner you take steps to prevent crow's feet, the younger the skin around your eyes will look. Even if the damage is already done, there are ways to minimize it.
