Chicken feet : Causes, care, best creams and skincare

La sensibilità e la secchezza che contraddistinguono la zona del contorno occhi (motivate dall’assenza di ghiandole sebacee) possono generare la presenza di linee sottili e, con l’invecchiamento, anche di vere e proprie forme di rugosità, note come “zampe di gallina”.

Cause

The main cause of crow's feet is definitely skin aging: your skin grows thinner and slackens, blood vessels are more visible, circulation worsens, and as if that weren't enough, the distribution of subcutaneous fat changes.

Ingredients to Use

The action of moisturizing ingredients is critical for improving the appearance of this area, plumping it up and smoothing out lines and roughness. These include: hyaluronic acid, ceramides, panthenol, and allantoin.

For the same reason, it’s helpful to use anti-aging ingredients to improve skin firmness and quality. The most effective options are peptides (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38).

Helpful Tips

Choose a formula that works for you, and above all, pick products specially formulated for the eye contour because this area is extremely delicate: be careful when applying facial cream here, as it may contain active ingredients that can irritate your skin and aren’t specifically designed to target this cosmetic flaw, sometimes even making it worse (for example, by further drying out your skin).

DAILY SPF! This is the best anti-aging product you can use and a fantastic ally for delaying the appearance of crow's feet.

So, What Can You Do About Crow's Feet?

The best strategy for crow's feet is prevention: take precautions against skin dryness and above all, stay proactive against skin aging.
