10 Tried & Tested Remedies To Get Rid Of Crow's Feet

By Kumutha

Your eyes speak volumes, and not just about your soul, but also your age! Baggy eyes talk about your poor diet, dark circles show how many times you burned the night lamp and fine lines, they are like the imprint of life itself!

Fortunately, these fine lines can be corrected - and prevented - with simple home remedies for crow's feet.

Before we explore exactly how we can remove wrinkles around the eyes naturally, let us first understand what causes it!

Skin around your eyes tend to be thinner than your face, making it more susceptible to wrinkles. It happens when the collagen production in skin dwindles, reducing the elasticity of the skin.

Exposure to sun, laughing too often, squinting under the sun and excessively dry skin are all some prime causes behind wrinkles.

To avoid all that and more, listed here are 10 tried and tested home remedies for crow's feet.
