How To Treat & Prevent Crow’s Feet (Fine Lines Around Eyes)

Do you know those sneaky little lines that pop up around your eyes when you laugh, squint, or smile? Yep, the ones that make you zoom into your front cam like a detective! They are called crow’s feet- it may sound cute (like a little birdie), but they are not so fun. But before you swear off smiling forever (please don’t), let’s talk.

Those lines are completely normal. And guess what? You can soften, reduce, and even prevent them with the right care (no needles, promise). Ready to know the what, why, and how of crow’s feet- minus the boring science talk? Come on, let’s do this!

What causes crow’s feet?

Crow’s feet around the eyes tend to show much earlier. Why? Because the skin near your eyes is thin and moves a lot. Every smile, squint, and laugh? Your skin remembers it all and leaves a permanent mark. But it is not just facial expressions. The other reasons could be sun exposure, natural ageing, dry skin, inadequate sleep, smoking, stress, etc.

What makes it frustrating is how quickly they can appear and how tricky they are to soften once they set in. Here’s the good news: you can slow them down with a few lifestyle changes, proper hydration, sun protection, and gentle, nourishing eye care.

How to prevent crow's feet on the face?

     Be kind to your eyes

Do you rub your eyes, skip eye care, or apply heavy makeup products? All of them can weaken the delicate skin. Always choose gentle, natural eye care products that truly care for your eyes.

     Block those UV rays

Even a few minutes in the sun without SPF can break down collagen, the protein that keeps your skin firm. Make sure to apply sunscreen every day, indoors or outdoors. Also, wear sunglasses when you are out and about during the day.

     Hydration makes it better

Dry skin can exaggerate crow's feet. If the skin around your eyes is flaky or tight, it needs moisture. Look for hydrating ingredients like shea butter, witch hazel extract, and sunflower seed oil in your eye cream.

     Every day habits matter

Lack of sleep, stress, smoking, and even staring at screens for hours can speed up early ageing signs. If your eyes feel tired all the time, it is your body asking for rest. All it needs is a good night’s sleep and a few screen breaks.

     A little help works wonders

With every passing year, the skin naturally slows down in producing essential proteins (collagen and elastin) that keep it bouncy. Show it a little extra love with a serum with nourishing ingredients that help support the skin structure and soften fine lines and wrinkles over time.

How to remove crow’s feet naturally?

Are you noticing those tiny lines getting deeper day by day? Don’t stress! A simple night skincare routine helps soften crow’s feet and improve your skin texture over time.

But first, why a PM routine and not an AM? Because your skin heals while you snooze! At night, it is not busy fighting off UV rays or pollution. Instead, it focuses on cell repair, renewal, and absorbing all the goodness of the face care products.

Here is an easy and effective 2-step routine that works:

     Step 1: The nighttime serum

Choose a serum made with natural, powerful ingredients like Bakuchiol, Blue Pea Flower Extract, Natural Peptides, and Niacinamide. They support collagen production, improve elasticity and help reduce the appearance of crow’s feet. We recommend trying Vilvah’s Better Ageing Serum for faster results.

     How to apply it:

Take 2-3 drops of the serum and apply to cleansed skin. Gently press it onto your face and wait until it is absorbed.

     Step 2: Natural Eye Cream

Pick an Under Eye Cream with ancient, proven ingredients like Bamboo Extract, Goji Berry, and Shea Butter. Stay away from eye creams loaded with harsh chemicals, as the skin around your eyes is sensitive and needs safe, gentle care.

     How to apply it:

Take a small amount of the eye cream and apply it around your eyes. Focus especially on the outer corners of the eyes where crow’s feet show up.

Make this your non-negotiable night routine, and stay consistent!

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it normal to have crow’s feet under the eyes while smiling?

Yes, it’s completely normal. When you smile, the skin around your eyes naturally folds and creases especially as you age. These lines show that your skin is moving as it should. They’re a sign of expression, not something to be afraid of.

What helps prevent crow’s feet early on?

Start early with gentle eye creams, anti-aging serum, SPF, and hydration. Avoid rubbing your eyes, squinting, and sleeping with your face pressed against the pillow. Small habits make a big difference in keeping crow’s feet away.

At what age do crow’s feet usually appear?

Crow’s feet often start showing between ages 25 to 30. Most people get crow’s feet as they age. They begin as fine lines from repeated facial expressions and skin losing elasticity over time.

Can crow’s feet form around the mouth as well as eyes?

Yes. While crow’s feet are commonly seen around the eyes, similar fine lines can also appear near the mouth due to repetitive expressions and aging. These lines are often called “smile lines” or perioral wrinkles.

Can crow’s feet appear on the cheeks too?

Yes, crow’s feet can extend toward the upper cheeks, especially with age and repeated smiling. These fine lines often spread outward from the eyes and become more visible as skin loses elasticity.
