I wear sunscreen, sunglasses and use eye cream, but I’m still getting crow’s feet. Is there anything else I can do?

A.

Eyes are typically the first place that my patients complain of wrinkles. The muscles around the eyes contract frequently and secondarily wrinkle the skin covering it. Make sure that you’re not overlooking simple solutions to stop contracting your eye muscle, such as getting the proper prescription on your eyeglasses or contacts. Are you squinting? Are you smoking and frequently squinting as a result?

In addition to decreasing excessive muscle contraction, you should add vitamins A, C, and E to your eye moisturizer, and apply it twice a day. Good job with the sunglasses and sunscreen! Find a cute hat, too!
