Crow’s feet are those wrinkles or tiny lines at the outside corner of the eyes. Once it appears, it is difficult reverse. The following tips can help prevent crow’s feet from appearing in the first place:

• Wear a sunscreen with SPF 30 or more to avoid the ultra violet rays of the sun, which causes wrinkles on the skin.
• Always wear sunglasses with 100% UV protection when you go out in the sun
• Sleeping on your back helps smooth out the wrinkles because gravity works to pull the skin backward. If you cannot sleep on your back, at least try to switch sides frequently.
• The skin below your eyes is thin and has few oil producing glands. So don’t pull, tag or drag it as you apply and remove make up. Any time you apply cream or lotion, dab, don’t rub.
• Regular use of retinol creams, peptides and ingredients that strengthen the delicate eye area also improves the appearance of crow’s-feet and lessens dark circles
