We all spend a good deal of time protecting the skin on our faces, but what about our hands? We use our hands all the time, so we tend to take them for granted, but they get just as much, if not more, abuse than our face.
What's worse, our hands have thin skin and few oil glands, so they are damaged more easily.
Have healthy, beautiful hands by following this advice!
Regular exfoliation is important for glowing, fresh skin. You might try a facial exfoliant, as it is more gentle than body scrub. Definitely hydrate the skin with emollient cream after every treatment - use one that fills between outer skin cells and replaces the oils.
Pamper your hands at night, too. Massage in a thick, oil-based hand cream or ointment before you go to bed, and cover your hands with cotton gloves. It's best to use cream at night because it lasts longer than lotion (there is time for it to fully absorb into your skin).
Wear gloves. Sun, wind and cold all take a toll on your hands; wearing gloves protects them. Have a pair of gloves for work in the yard or garden. When you are cleaning or washing up inside, protect your hands from chemicals and detergents by wearing rubber gloves.
Moisturize your hands every time you wash them. Washing your hands too often will dry the skin, particularly if you have antibacterial soap. For everyday use, try a light, fast-absorbing lotion, which strengthens your skin's natural moisture barrier. If your daily routine involves housework or other heavy-duty hand tasks, apply a heavier, oil-based cream first thing in the morning and last thing at night.
Just like skin damage, aging happens to your hands too. Apply SPF 15 sunblock (or higher) to help prevent age spots.
Your Hands Tell Your Age
Don't look at someone's face if you are wondering their age, peek at their hands. It is easy for people to look younger than they are, with all the cosmetic advancements of late.
It is harder to treat the hands, which communicate age readily.
The hands change as we get older. The skin sags a bit and becomes thinner. Wrinkles start to appear, and age spots surface. There has been a change in how hands are treated, thanks to the cosmetics industry.
We can have plumper, tighter skin on our hands with the use of fillers - a major improvement in appearance. We then have smoother skin and fewer wrinkles.
The fillers renew shape, which better disguises large veins and tendons that tend to protrude later in life. Results of this procedure are immediate, last as long as the facial option, and it barely takes half an hour.
Thanks to new technologies, we can now even skin tones and erase the age spots caused by too many UV rays. Many popular facial treatments are able to be done on the hands now.
