How to erase crow's feet wrinkles without freezing your expressions?
Most treatments promise to "erase" or "fill" crow's feet. At Hanloé Paris, we start from a simple principle: this area isn't damaged, it communicates . The goal isn't to freeze it, but to retrain it.
Crow's feet: an ultra-reactive area, not a flaw
The first wrinkles around the eyes often appear as early as 25–30 years old. The skin there is four times thinner , has fewer sebaceous glands, and is constantly stressed by facial expressions. It also reacts strongly to the sun, oxidative stress, and lack of sleep.
The result: the area lacks support, deep hydration, and structural lipids. The good news? These are precisely the parameters that can be addressed with a targeted and consistent routine.
Why do crow's feet wrinkles appear... and how to reduce them
Most approaches address the consequence. We prefer to work on the cause.
1. Chronic dehydration
Thin, dehydrated skin wrinkles more easily. Our skincare products, rich in humectants and aloe vera, such as the Phyto-Renew range, deeply rehydrate and improve the suppleness of the area.
2. Collagen loss and sagging
From the age of 30, collagen production naturally declines. Stress and UV rays accelerate this process. Bidens Pilosa , a plant-based alternative to retinol, present in your Phyto-Renew Eye Serum , stimulates skin renewal while respecting this delicate area.
3. Silent Inflamm'aging
Pollution, lack of sleep, overexertion: the skin remains in a state of low-grade inflammation. Treatments like Hydra-Equilibre or Nuage Prébiotique soothe the skin and strengthen the microbiome, for a more resilient eye area in the long term.
4. Uncompensated facial expression
The muscles around the eyes are constantly pulling on thin, poorly supported skin. The goal is not to "block" facial expressions, but to strengthen the supporting tissues so that each expression leaves fewer marks.
Hanloé Method: “Tissue Re-education” of Crow's Feet
Rather than promising a spectacular before/after in a few days, Hanloé Paris offers a structured, realistic and sustainable method.
1. Repair
Soothe inflammation, intensely rehydrate, restore the skin barrier. Your Hydra-Balance cream restores comfort and hydration, an essential step before any anti-aging treatment.
2. Strengthen
Boosts collagen, elasticity and supporting fibers with biomimetic active ingredients. Phyto-Renew Cream improves skin texture, while Phyto-Renew Eye Serum specifically targets crow's feet.
3. Protect
Without SPF, no crow's feet routine will last. Your Hanloé SPF 50 protects the area from UV rays responsible for photoaging and loss of elasticity.
4. Re-educate the movements
A few seconds a day are enough to reduce lateral traction on the pes anserinus:
- Place a finger at the outer corner of the eye;
- close your eye gently without creasing the skin;
- Hold for 3 seconds, then release, 5 times in a row.
You tone the muscle without marking the skin, and you gradually reduce the appearance of expression lines.
What can you expect from a regular routine for crow's feet?
- After 7 days : skin is more supple, eyes look less tired, fine lines are slightly softened.
- After 4 to 6 weeks : improved elasticity, visibly smoothed expression lines, more even skin texture.
- After 12 weeks : natural tightening effect, noticeable reduction in wrinkle depth, more open-looking eyes.
*Potential results, linked to a regular routine, daily sun protection and your overall lifestyle.
Mistakes that worsen crow's feet wrinkles
- Pulling on the skin when applying skincare products can easily cause micro-tears. Opt instead for gentle tapping or a light gliding motion towards the temple.
- Forget about SPF. UV rays are the number one factor in aging around the eyes. Without protection, crow's feet deepen faster.
- Using overly strong retinols is not recommended. The area is too delicate for aggressive formulas. Gentle alternatives like Bidens Pilosa are more suitable.
- Overloading the area with product can irritate and weigh down the eye contour. A small amount of well-formulated product is sufficient.
