30-day skincare plan for crow's feet

Thirty days is long enough to see direction, not a finish line. This plan for crow's feet moves from baseline to review in four short stages.

Week 1: baseline

Scan outer corners of both eyes and upper cheek. Cut the routine to antioxidant eye serum, moisturizer and SPF. Wear sunglasses and extend SPF right to the orbital bone.

Week 2: first active

Introduce retinol on two nights. Keep notes on how skin feels, not just how it looks.

Week 3: steady state

Hold the routine. If skin is comfortable, add one night of retinol; if not, stay at two. Avoid pulling skin when applying makeup.

Week 4: review

Compare week-one and week-four scans of outer corners of both eyes and upper cheek. Decide: keep, adjust or swap in peptides.

Remember that twelve weeks for softer-looking lines; prevention matters most; day 30 is a checkpoint.
