Crow’s feet are probably one of the first signs of ageing to appear on someone’s face. They can be first noticed as early as your mid-twenties, showing up before sagging skin, sun damage and other wrinkles. This happens because the skin around your eyes is especially thin and lack fatty tissue surrounding it, becoming more suceptible to show signs of repeated expressions and collagen loss.
We can see two different types of crow’s feet: static and dynamic. Dynamic crow’s feet are lines appear during muscle movements while making facial expressions such as frowning or smiling. Static crow’s feet lines are always visible regardless of face movements. Crow’s feet usually develops as a result of facial expressions, sun exposure, genetics and the natural ageing process. Hormonal changes like menopause can increase the appearence of crow’s feet due to a decline in estrogen levels, which speeds up skin ageing.
Preventing crow’s feet involves a combination of good skincare practices, lifestyle choices, and protective measures such as sunglasses and daily SPF. While they are a common sign of ageing, many people seek treatments to minimise crow’s feet appearance for a more youthful look.
