Crows feet

Is there anything that actually works? I smile too much and it definitely ages me 😬

Depends how deep they are.
Very fine can try profhilo.
Anything deeper wont go without botox and don't let anyone convince you otherwise. No cream will fix wrinkles.

It’s not smiling! Smiling is excellent - gives one a happy looking face.

The problem is far more likely to be a combination of:

Diet - you may need a lot more oils, plus everything else. And much less salt and sugar?
Sun - ???
Smoking - ?
Exfoliation - too little or too much.
Moisturising - ?
Stress - ?

Please don’t do anything else unless you’ve addressed all these! Grin

Botox!
I naturally really screw my eyes up when I smile. Always hated it and the lines were getting deeper.
Had a little bit of Botox there and in my 11s on my forehead. £110 every three months. Best money I've ever spent.

Hard agree!

Does Botox get rid of them or just stop them getting deeper?

Am I the only person who thinks crows feet look great?

i may think differently when mine deepen, but I honestly think they make a face more interesting and a smile seem more genuine.

I don’t mind crows feet on others, but have Botox on mine to soft them, not to get rid of them completely as they would look unnatural I think. I am 50.

CeriB82 · 09/04/2023 20:21

I have them too and dark circles.

ive sent a text tonight to a clinic for advice on how to soften them!

unsure which product is best and pricewise.

It's got rid of them but when the Botox wears off they do come back. Mine lasts around a year but I know that I'm a bit unusual in that and it's usually 6 months.

Ok thanks
I won't spend lots of money on creams that don't work.

I'm scared of Botox so don't think I could do that. Will just have to carry on looking tired and haggard!
