A new study by Japanese cosmetics firm Shiseido has discovered evidence that men tend to form wrinkles at the corners of their eyes more than a decade earlier than women.
In one experiment, the team measured the wrinkles at the corner of the eyes, commonly known as crow’s feet, of Japanese men and women. The results revealed that men had a larger volume of wrinkles and that they were likely more advanced in all age groups compared to women. Men aged in their 30s all the way to their 50s, were found to have similar wrinkle distribution to women that were one generation older.
By calculating the age difference observed in this analysis, the researchers concluded that men form and develop wrinkles approximately 10.9 years earlier than women. Using 3D analysis, the researchers were able to confirm that the wrinkles were also more likely to be deeper and larger in men than in women.
