I'm in my late 20's and, because of my perpetual smiling, am finding that I am starting to get really noticeable crow's feet. I'm pretty paranoid about this, more so when a very loud friend of a friend suggested I look at botox as an option on a recent night out! Is there an easier route to follow, such as a good treatment / product?
Well, our smilely and beaut.ieful girl, there are four things I recommend - all will make you look and feel better. The ranges I personally find great for total nourishing and plumping are Clinique and Elizabeth Arden. Keep the botox for later, you honestly don't need it at your age.

- Firstly: ignore this type of person. I bet she doesn't have many close friends. Either Very Thick or a Total Bitch. Or both.
- Use a good eyecream. Elizabeth Arden ceramide eye cream and Clinique Repairwear are both great. Or if you don't want to spend too much Olay is always a great bet.
- Use an intensive eye treatment to kick start your regime and make an instant plumping and firming difference. Really great ones are Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Capsules and Clinique Moisture Surge for eyes. The lady at the Elizabeth Arden counter gave me a great tip for applying eye cream. Always use your ring finger - or else you can risk dragging the skin. Lightly apply the cream or capsule liquid all around your eyes, tracing lightly ten times.
Because you feel your lines may be cased by too much smiling you might like to check out the Ren range, which does a cream especially formulated for expression lines. - Be very careful with foundation and undereye concealer. Applied wrongly, or too heavily, they will accentuate any fine lines and make them look deeper. Chanel do great undereye concealers and the best thing to do is present yourself at the Chanel counter and ask for advice. Benefit and Revlon also do good value alternatives. A good tip is not to apply concealer right underneath your whole eye area - the shadows will instantly be corrected if you just dab a tiny bit of concealer at the place in your eye socket where your eyes and nose meet.
