We often hear the phrase “laughter is the best medicine” so true!… and I also find that smiling brings about a warmth and beauty to the face that can’t be matched by any form of artificial enhancement… That said, I always recommend a daily dose of humour to anyone’s daily routine! 
On the other hand, although laughter is our favourite form of expression, we can’t avoid the inevitable fact that it contributes to those dreaded lines on our outer eye corners…;/
Not to worry though, just practice applying a pinch of eye cream each day and you may just soften & delay these uncoveted lines 
…
Here are some other causes of crow’s feet and how to combat them… What is your eye care routine? What products do you use? I want to know, leave me a comment !
1) UVA/UVB Damage – wear mineral based SPF coverage such as la bella donna liquid mineral concealer
2) Excess Squinting – avoid by wearing sunglasses when out during the day (even when it’s overcast)
get prescription glasses/contacts if you’re squinting is due to poor eyesight
Other common & unsightly eye issues and how to avoid -or- treat them @ home
1) Puffiness – Sleep with your head slightly elevated to allow fluids to drain rather than gather overnight
Use a cold teaspoon, cucumbers or tea bags under the eyes to shrink swelling in the morning
2) Dark circles – Hide them with an under eye concealer (just a tinch) lighter than your skin tone, go over with a hint of foundation that matches exactly & set w/ loose powder
Choose a yellowish concealer to cover up redness or purple veins & a salmon or peachy concealer to hide bluish hues and under tones
