One of the very first signs of aging is the formation of crow’s feet around your eyes. You know the ones. The tiny lines and wrinkles that are a result of smiling, laughing and squinting. And while there may be worse way to collect wrinkles than through an over-abundance of smiling - we want to keep these lines at bay for as long as possible.

If you are anything like us, you probably have a drawer full of anti-aging products that you faithfully use. But if you are forgetting the fragile skin around your eyes, you may (gasp!) show your age earlier than you would like. So just how do you prevent these unwanted guests from showing up? It’s easy!

4 Surefire Ways to Help Prevent Crow’s Feet -- Without Injections:

1. Wear Sunscreen
We cannot stress this enough -- sun exposure is the number one cause of premature aging. If you want to prevent lines around your eyes, wearing an SPF 30+, broad-spectrum sunscreen like Theraderm Platinum Protection Facial Sunscreen, is imperative.

2. Wear Sunglasses
In addition to slathering on the sunscreen, wearing a pair of sunglasses can help prevent wrinkling around the eyes. And don't think the cheapies you picked up at the gas station are going to do the trick. You need a pair designed to block aging UVA rays from actually reaching your eyes. In addition to making you look great, they keep you from squinting which is one of the causes of crow’s feet formation.

3. Be Gentle
When it comes to applying and removing eye makeup, be as gentle as possible with little to no tugging at the delicate skin around the eyes. Theraderm Cleansing Wash is gentle enough to remove stubborn makeup while washing your face -- without tugging. 

4. Use Eye Cream
This may seem so cliche’, but it really does work! The skin around your eye is completely different than the rest of the skin on your face and requires a product created especially for it. Theraderm Peptide Repair Eye Creme’ is perfect for keeping those baby blues looking young and rested!
