Can You Really Get Rid of Crow's Feet?We asked a top plastic surgeon and skin-care innovator to break it down |
Crow's Feet Tip No. 1: Catch Some Z's "There is a reason why they call it beauty sleep," says Swift. When you're sleep deprived, your body releases more cortisol, a stress hormone, which can break down collagen, causing the skin to lose elasticity. A lack of sleep also slows the body's production of human growth hormone, which is an important part of everyday tissue repair, adds Edlich.
Translation: Less sleep, more damage to the skin, more wrinkles. In addition, chronic sleep loss can enhance the crow's feet that have already started forming. "So make sure that you get seven to eight hours a night to keep the lines and wrinkles at bay," Swift says. A sleep tracker device, like a Fitbit, or an app, such a Sleep Cycle or SleepBot, can help you make sure you're getting enough shut-eye.
