Crow's feet in men: How to prevent, reduce and treat them

Crow's feet, the fine lines and wrinkles that appear around the eyes, are not just a cosmetic concern for women. Men also experience this sign of aging, and many look for effective ways to prevent and treat these lines to maintain a youthful, fresh appearance. In this article, we'll explore the causes of crow's feet in men, how to prevent them and the best skincare routine featuring specific Biotherm products to reduce their appearance. Let's get started!

Why do crow's feet appear?

Crow's feet are wrinkles that form around the eyes due to the repeated contraction of facial muscles when we laugh, smile, squint or make other everyday facial expressions. These wrinkles may be more noticeable and deeper in men due to specific factors, such as:

Thicker skin. Although men's skin is generally thicker than women's, which may delay the appearance of wrinkles, when they finally do form, they tend to be deeper and more pronounced.
Less frequent skincare product usage. Traditionally, men have been less likely to use moisturizers and sunscreens regularly, which can accelerate skin aging.
Sun damage. Sun exposure without adequate protection can cause damage to the skin, leading to the premature formation of wrinkles. UV rays damage the skin and speed up the breakdown of collagen and elastin, which are responsible for skin firmness and elasticity.
Genetic and environmental factors. Just like in women, genetic and environmental factors play an important role in the appearance of crow's feet.
Smoking: smoking reduces blood circulation and damages collagen, which favors the appearance of premature wrinkles.
Stress: stress can also accelerate skin aging.

Can crow's feet be prevented?

Crow's feet can be prevented through a combination of healthy habits and the use of appropriate skincare products. Here are some practical tips to keep crow's feet in men at bay:

Use sunscreen. Daily sun protection is essential to prevent UV damage, which is one of the main causes of premature skin aging.
Moisturize your skin. Keeping the skin well hydrated helps to preserve its elasticity and firmness. Use a specific eye cream to keep this delicate area well-hydrated.
Eat a balanced diet. A diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals can help fight skin aging from within. This includes foods rich in vitamin C, E and omega-3 fatty acids.
Avoid smoking. Smoking accelerates the skin's aging process and contributes to the formation of wrinkles. Quitting smoking can significantly improve the appearance of your skin.

Practice facial yoga

Facial yoga is a practice that can help prevent and reduce crow's feet in men by strengthening and toning the facial muscles and preventing sagging. Here are some simple exercises you can incorporate into your daily routine:

Owl exercise. Place your index and middle fingers in a V-shape around your eyes, with the index finger on the eyebrow and the middle finger below your eye. Blink gently while holding the position for about 10 seconds. Repeat this exercise 5 times.
Forehead smoothing. Place your fingertips in the center of your forehead and gently glide them outward, applying light pressure. Repeat this movement 10 times to relax the muscles and smooth wrinkles.
Eye smiling. Close your eyes and smile as widely as possible without opening them. Hold the position for about 10 seconds and then relax. Repeat 5 times.
