repetitive squinting does speed up crow's feet and periorbital lines over time—it's not gatekeeping; constant folding of that thin skin degrades collagen faster, as confirmed by derm lit and plenty of older forum posters regretting it.

For photos only, a subtle controlled squinch is low-risk if you're not doing it constantly IRL—at 16 your skin's elasticity is still peak, so occasional use for shots won't cause noticeable damage anytime soon.

Prioritize leanmaxxing, mewing, and posture work for natural eye hooding instead; that's the higher-ROI move that avoids any wrinkle acceleration long-term.
