When I was young, jeans were a basic, simple clothing item. Over the years, they have evolved into something far more complex. There are so many different cuts, styles, and designs now that the clothing combinations are amazing. I've spent many years researching the changes in popular jeans styles and trying to determine which cuts were best for my body. I took everything I learned and decided to build this blog. If you've always struggled to understand the different types of jeans on the market or to choose the right cut for your body shape, I hope the information here helps solve the mystery.
Crow's feet are those annoying lines or wrinkles that form towards the outside corners of your eyes. If you are someone who spends a lot of time smiling, you are at an increased risk for crow's feet as you age. A facelift can take care of crow's feet, but this is a pretty serious surgical procedure to undergo for a few wrinkles. Thankfully, there are some less invasive treatments that you may want to explore. Here are three options.
Hyaluronic acid creams
This is the least invasive and least expensive option. Hyaluronic acid is a substance that your skin naturally makes. It keeps your skin supple and smooth. As you age, your skin makes less hyaluronic acid, which contributes to the appearance of wrinkles like crow's feet. You can find hyaluronic acid creams over the counter at most pharmacies. Use one daily, and you may notice that your crow's feet ease up within the course of a few months. There are no serious side effects to worry about with hyaluronic acid, but the results will be less dramatic than those of the other treatments on this list.
Botulinum toxin injections
Dermatologists have used botulinum toxin injections to treat crow's feet for years. This treatment involves injecting a bacterial toxin into the muscles located to the sides of your eyes. The toxin causes your muscles to relax, which reduces the appearance of your crow's feet. Botulinum toxin injections are safe for most patients, but some patients feel that they yield an unnatural look. The results only last about three months, after which you need to have another injection to maintain your results.
Juvederm
Juvederm is what is known as a filler. It contains hyaluronic acid and some other ingredients to help add volume to your skin. Juvederm is inserted into your skin by your dermatologist using several small needles. The results are almost instant, and although some patients experience minor redness and swelling after the injections, you do not have to avoid makeup or alter your daily routine following treatment. Juvederm injections often last six months or longer. Many patients feel the results are more natural-looking than those of botulinum toxin injections. Hyaluronic acid is also a natural substance that your skin produces, whereas botulinum toxin is a foreign substance and can cause negative reactions in some patients.
Talk to your dermatologist to learn more about these and other options for easing the appearance of your crow's feet.
