While a dermatologist can prescribe medication and treatments to get rid of wrinkles and crow's feet, there are some methods to get rid of them at home. Does this Spark an idea?

1
Use facial lotion and makeup that contain an SPF of 15 or higher to protect the face from the sun. Exposure to the ultraviolet rays (UVA) from the sun both causes and worsens wrinkles and crow's feet on the face. By protecting your skin from further damage, it has a chance to recover, which helps reverse the previous damage.

2
Pick a moisturizer that contains salicylic acid, alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) or glycolic acid. These ingredients help exfoliate the outer layer of the skin, which will help remove your wrinkles and crow's feet and reveal the younger-looking skin underneath. In addition, there are many anti-wrinkle moisturizers on the market that are specifically designed to repair and prevent wrinkles.

Clean daily with a gentle cleanser and exfoliate at least twice a week with a scrub that is designed to remove dead skin cells and encourage new cell and tissue growth, removing wrinkles and improving the surface of the skin. Exfoliating scrubs can be purchased at most grocery stores or drug stores. Look for ingredients that include AHA or salicylic acid.

Consider some home remedies, such as combining 1 tsp. lemon juice with 1 tbsp. orange extract. Apply the mixture to the area around your eyes, taking care not to get it in your eyes. Leave on your skin for 10 minutes and then rinse. The citric acid will help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and crow's feet.

Stay hydrated, as skin that is well moisturized from the inside as well as the outside will appear more supple and firm. Dehydrated skin is more likely to look wrinkled and sallow.

Consider adding a multivitamin to your daily routine, as lack of nutrients reduces skin cells' ability to repair and restore themselves. Consult your doctor with any questions.
