You usually spot first wrinkles around eyes in early 20s. Then, they aren’t deep or too noticeable, but look thin and tiny. As you age these lines become deeper and deeper while wrinkles on other parts of your face aren’t that emphasized. Why this happens? You have probably always wanted to find the answer to that question, and this article will provide it, so keep reading.

Why we get these wrinkles?

Wrinkles around your eyes are expressed as fine lines, creases or ridges that can develop as a result of various factors. Sun’s radiation impairs collagen production and affects elasticity after which skin becomes saggy and fine lines pop up mostly because our skin is unable to replace the impaired collagen and elastin.

Other reasons for appearance of these wrinkles is aging; they occur due to natural aging process, smoking because it causes free radicals to kill healthy cells from our skin, facial movements during smiling, laughing or squinting and many other reasons as well. Although we usually associate under-eye fine lines and wrinkles or crow’s feet with old age, they can develop much sooner too. The most common reason for appearance of these wrinkles is exposure to sun’s damaging UV rays.

But, why these wrinkles appear deeper around my eyes?

We have always wondered why wrinkles around our and someone else’s eyes were always deeper than wrinkles on their forehead, for example. The answer to that question was given by a study from Japan.

The study was conducted by a group of researchers (Tamatsu Y, Tsukahara K, Shimada K.) from Department of Gross Anatomy at Kagoshima University Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences and Department of Plastic Surgery at Jichi Medical University. The primary goal of the study was to inspect the mechanism of formation of facial wrinkles and their depth. In order to do so, they looked images on forehead and eye regions of 58 male and female skin specimens from cadavers.

Scientists prepared tissue slices in order to inspect the oil-secreting glands or sebaceous glands and their density which was measured in relation to depth of wrinkles. Researchers discovered that higher gland density led to shallower wrinkle depths in forehead samples with thinner skins. On the other hand, scientists didn’t make the same discovery with crow’s feet wrinkles because that region lacks sebaceous glands.

Findings from this study were published in the journal Clinical Anatomy.

Treatment and prevention

Fortunately, there is a wide range of methods you can try to minimize the severity of crow’s feet. Some methods include cosmetic procedures and are usually pricy while the effectiveness of the treatment can never be sure. Moreover, your health insurance most likely won’t pay for cosmetic procedure to begin with. Further, there are some products you can use to minimize these wrinkles and they are available over the counter or online. When purchasing these products it is of crucial importance to make sure they are made by a reputable skincare company, because who needs to deal with irritating side effects, right?
