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. 5: Exfoliate Gently "You hardly ever hear about exfoliating under the eyes, because the delicate skin is so sensitive," says Edlich. But recent studies have shown that just the right amount of exfoliation can work to smoothen skin and reduce the appearance of crow's feet.
Radical Skincare Age Defying Exfoliating Pads, $75, have a gentle enough formula to use under the eyes, and "have been shown to help reduce crows feet by 50 percent within two weeks," says Edlich. (In the meantime, they leave skin supersoft.)
"Each pad is infused with a blend of Alpha Hydroxy Acids and Beta Hydroxy Acids, as well as anti-aging properties and skin calming agents," Edlich continues. "Aloe, which helps sooth the skin and perfect the under eye area, is the second ingredient."
Exfoliation also allows moisturizing skin-care ingredients to absorb more effectively. Just make sure not to use a regular face scrub under your eyes, which could be too harsh and end up doing more harm than good.
