How to Firm Up Crow's Feet Naturally

Exposure to the sun is the main cause of crow's feet, or those small lines in the skin that extend outward from the corner of the eye. While there is an entire skin care industry built upon anti-aging creams, there are several ways you can firm up crow's feet naturally. Read on to learn how to firm up crow's feet naturally.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. Apply a high SPF sunscreen made especially for the eye area. Smooth the sunscreen gently around your eyes, including the upper and lower eyelids, and apply additional sunscreen every couple of hours.
2. Wear dark sunglasses and hats with wide brims that protect as much of your eye area as possible.
3. Stop smoking, and avoid smoky areas. Smoking or frequently visiting smoke-filled environments makes you squint because your eyes naturally reject the smoke's irritating and drying effects. Squinting deepens existing crow's feet.
4. Dot Vitamin C ester on the crow's feet, which can firm up the lines.
5. Eat cranberries, blueberries, strawberries and raspberries. All of these berries contain antioxidants that can help prevent premature aging and wrinkles.
6. Take 300 to 400 mg of magnesium a day, and eat foods with high magnesium content such as brown rice, wheat bran, wheat germ, almonds and peanuts. Magnesium is a mineral that improves the appearance of the skin. It also benefits the nervous system and the heart as well.
7. Add salmon to your daily diet. Cold water fish, such as salmon, combat cellular inflammation of the skin, and can give your skin a toned and healthy appearance.

Tips & Warnings

• If you don't enjoy eating fish, take fish oil capsules instead to achieve the same anti-aging effects.
• Drink eight to 10 glasses of water per day to hydrate and firm up your skin.
