What are crow's feet?

What causes crow's feet or wrinkles around the eyes?
Crow's feet or wrinkles around the eyes are caused by the skin around the eyes losing collagen, elastin, and elasticity. Crow's feet or wrinkles around the eyes can be caused by several factors, as follows:
- age As people age, the body and internal systems deteriorate, causing the body to produce less collagen and elastin, resulting in the skin losing elasticity and causing the skin to sag, including causing the skin around the eyes to develop wrinkles.
- sunlight It is another cause of wrinkles, especially around the eyes, because sunlight contains ultraviolet rays that damage elastin and collagen in the skin, causing the skin to deteriorate and resulting in wrinkles and creases easily.
- Facial expressions When facial expressions are made for a long time or regularly, such as smiling, laughing or squinting, the skin around the eyes can wrinkle.
- Rubbing eyes Rubbing your eyes or rubbing the skin around your eyes too hard or regularly can cause the skin in that area to stretch too much, causing the elastin to break down and form lines, which can lead to wrinkles.
- Prolonged eye use Using cables for long periods of time, such as looking at your phone or staring at a computer for a long time, causes the muscles around your eyes to contract, which can easily cause wrinkles.
- Smoking Smoking is another factor that causes wrinkles around the eyes or crow's feet. This is because cigarettes contain chemicals that damage skin cells. And if you smoke regularly, it will cause more wrinkles.
It can be observed that the occurrence of wrinkles around the corners of the eyes or crow's feet is often caused by people losing collagen and elastin in the skin around the corners of the eyes, whether due to internal factors such as age, external factors such as sunlight, or factors caused by our own actions such as smoking.
