Crow’s Feet
Keep smiling! Or would you rather not? When fine lines suddenly turn into deeper crow’s feet, many people want to do everything to get rid of these eye wrinkles. We’ll show you what you can do about them below!
What are crow’s feet?
Whenever we smile or laugh, we pull the skin at the outer corners of our eyes into fine lines and folds. As a result of age and repeated facial expressions, these lines become permanent wrinkles that slowly become deeper – so-called crow’s feet. They get their name because they look a bit like the foot or footprint of a crow.
What causes crow’s feet?
Crow’s feet are a part of natural skin aging. Cell renewal and protective functions slow down, while the skin is still affected by internal and external factors every day. These include: UV radiation, free radicals, environmental pollution, unhealthy lifestyle and facial expressions. As a result, the skin loses its firmness and elasticity over time. At the same time, the body’s own production of collagen and hyaluronic acid decreases, which makes the skin appear less plump and leads to the formation of small wrinkles. Around the eyes the skin is particularly thin, which means that expression lines can quickly start showing.
How to prevent and get rid of crow’s feet?
Now, before you all stop laughing to avoid wrinkles, let’s get one thing straight: Laughing is healthy and good for your mind and soul.

Anti-wrinkle products
The key for an effective crow’s feet treatment is a good daily skincare routine for your eye area.

Dark circles and puffy eyes can make you appear tired and haggard. Our cooling eye gel is a great remedy for under-eye shadows and tired-looking eyes. Powerful anti-aging ingredients like plankton and hyaluronic acid smooth the look of crow’s feet after just 15 minutes. Additionally, the eye gel provides an intense boost of hydration and leaves the eye area fresh and healthy-looking. Apply under your eyes in the morning and evening and gently tap into the skin.
Anti-aging eye patches
Our smoothing Hydrogel Eye Patches with red algae and hyaluronic acid plump fine lines and wrinkles and infuse the skin with deep hydration. Thanks to their fragrance-free formula, the pads are very gentle and suitable for sensitive skin. Place the pads under your eyes. Remove after 10 minutes and apply an eye cream if desired.
Tips to prevent crow‘s feet and other signs of aging
Here are our top tips to prevent deep wrinkles!
1. Upgrade your beauty sleep
Sleep well! Getting a good night’s sleep is important for a healthy lifestyle, but also to maintain beautiful skin. The question is: HOW? On your back, of course. Sleeping on your back is good for your health and for your skin. If your pillow presses against your face when you sleep on your side, it can promote the formation of facial wrinkles. Avoiding this sleeping position is also a simple way to prevent the development of small creases on your décolleté, so-called side sleeper wrinkles.
2. Avoid sun exposure!
UV rays are the biggest enemy of beautiful, healthy and wrinkle-free skin. This includes the thin skin around your eyes, of course, so don’t forget to use broad-spectrum sun protection on your eye area. Additionally, you can also protect your eyes by wearing sunglasses.
3. Less is more
Skincare rule number 1: Remove your make-up at the end of the day, including eye make-up of course. Removing waterproof mascara is no easy feat, however. You need a good eye make-up remover to get rid of all traces and residues. Our Eye Make-up Remover contains chamomile and calendula extract to soothe and soften the skin while cleansing.
4. Maintain a healthy lifestyle
And now we’ve come full circle. A healthy lifestyle, balanced diet and drinking plenty of water play an important role in maintaining skin health and preventing crow’s feet.
And what about Botox?
Many people turn to minimally invasive procedures like dermal fillers and Botox treatments to achieve an instant skin tightening effect. However, if medical aesthetics are not your thing and you are looking for a non-invasive alternative, following a good skincare routine can actually go a long way too. Our EXTREME LIFT Eye Cream is formulated with jambú extract, also known as paracress, which is great for smoothing the look of wrinkles and expression lines and reveal younger-looking skin.
