Can Collagen Supplements Combat Crow's Feet?

Can Collagen Supplements Combat Crow's Feet?

It's common knowledge that our skin wrinkles as we age. Collagen comprises over 70% of the dry skin mass, strengthening the skin and ensuring elasticity and hydration. Collagen fibres create a solid infrastructure for elastin and hyaluronic acid to guarantee your skin's elasticity and hydration. As a person ages, the body starts producing less collagen, and the skin becomes drier, less elastic, and thinner. This results in wrinkles, commonly referred to as crow's feet. 


What Is Crow's Feet and Why Do We Get Them?

Crow's feet are those little lines that spread out from the corners of your eyes. Although they develop naturally over time, ultraviolet or UV rays from the sun will speed up the process. The muscles around the eyes contract when we make facial expressions. This causes creases in the skin over time.

Skin also thins as you get older, and nowhere is skin as thin as the eye area. As the delicate skin around the eyes thins with age, it's more susceptible to forming wrinkles.

When these lines become visible even where you are not smiling, they are referred to as "static wrinkles". When you are young, the presence of higher collagen and elastin helps the skin return to its resting position, so we say the wrinkles are "dynamic". 


Can I Minimise Crow's Feet?

Chronological ageing is an inherent part of life. Even though we cannot avoid it altogether, we can delay the process with a change in our lifestyle habits. Here are some things you can try to minimise crow's feet:


Follow a healthy diet
Following a healthy and clean diet is one of the best things you can do to minimise the development of crow's feet. Unsaturated fats provide many health benefits to your body. Reduce your sugar intake and drink lots of water throughout the day.


No smoking
Tobacco smoke results in premature ageing. In fact, smoking triggers an inflammation process and introduces free radicals to the system.


Wear sunscreen
Sunscreen is vital to minimise the appearance of crow's feet. Unprotected sun exposure is the number one cause of premature ageing and crow's feet.


Take a collagen supplement
A good collagen supplement can help minimise the appearance of crow's feet over time. Taking collagen helps your body naturally produce more collagen and reduces wrinkles and crow's feet.
