What causes wrinkles around eyes?
Any movement of the eye area-smiling, squinting, laughing, frowning-works the muscles under the skin, eventually creating crow's feet. "Lines near the eyes are caused by the action of a circular muscle (orbicularis oculi)," explains Dustin Portela, M.D., a dermatologist in Boise, ID. "When we express with our eyes, it contracts and pulls inward. Repeating this action over the course of years will cause grooves or lines to develop in the skin." Another contributing factor: UV light exposure, which can break down skin's collagen, the protein that gives it smoothness.
4 Keys to Preventing Eye Lines
GH Beauty Lab scientists and dermatologists suggest these easy methods for warding off (or minimizing) eye-area creases.
1 Protect against sun damage.
"To avoid lines around the eyes, always wear SPF," advises dermatologist Sherwin Parikh, M.D., a cofounder of A.P. Chem skincare and founder of Tribeca Skin Center in New York City. Seek out a face- or eye-specific sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher to shield the sensitive skin against wrinkle-inducing UV rays (mineral formulas tend to be gentler for the eye area). In addition, "Wearing sunglasses provides extra UV protection and reduces glare to prevent squinting, which causes muscle strain that can lead to creasing," he says.
2 Use products with ingredients that fortify the delicate skin.
"Be diligent about moisturizing around the eyes," Dr. Parikh says. Look for eye creams that contain ingredients like hyaluronic acid and peptides that boost hydration and collagen, he suggests. Apply eye treatments twice daily, in the morning and in the evening, for at least four weeks to see results, the GH Beauty Lab recommends.

The Stress-Busting Hack That's Right Under Your Nose- Breathwork is more than the wellness trend du jour- it's a science-backed route to relief from multiple modern ailments.
“OK, OK, just take a breath.” If that’s what a friend advises after you panic-share about a major-anxiety-inducing situation — your teen taking his maiden solo voyage behind the wheel, work instability, another high-stakes world crisis dinging your phone every few minutes — it’s probably because they hate seeing you so on edge. But also, your friend is offering an effective means of slowing your spin. “The way you breathe affects anxiety, and anxiety affects how you breathe,” says James Nestor, author of Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art. “It’s a two-way street, and while anxiety isn’t a conscious choice, our breathing is.”
Do Men Really Not See The Mess? - The answer might surprise you. Journalist and author Gemma Hartley pulls back the curtain to reveal the invisible forces that drive this all-too-common cause of marital strife.
There was a time, earlier in my marriage, when every morning as I walked into the kitchen I braced myself for the rage and resentment that would well up in me.Cupboards left open. Dirty dishes in the sink. Coffee cups strewn around the house. And usually a pair of slippers or shoes, with inside-out socks, on the floor somewhere nearby. Even when I had left the house spotless the night before, I’d wake to a scene of disarray — the mess my husband had left behind on his way out the door for work.I didn’t know which scenario seemed worse, my husband’s consciously expecting me to clean up these messes or his truly not noticing them at all. I found myself silently tallying these small resentments, furious and flummoxed in turn that he seemed oblivious to things that needed to be tidied up around the house. It seemed as if he was always waiting for me to tell him what had to be done, as if he was incapable of noticing the mess himself even when he was creating it.
