Keep Your Hands Looking Young!

One of the biggest telltale signs of age is the skin on your
hands. In the effort to fight the signs of aging, too often
are the hands left out of the mix. What good is it to use the
latest anti-aging serums on your crow?s feet and wrinkles,
when your hands give away your true age? By practicing proper
hand care, your entire body can age gracefully.

It is virtually impossible to go through the day without using
your hands. From writing to driving and greeting others with a
friendly handshake, the hands are one of the most used body
parts. Like anything that is used frequently, daily wear and
tear give off very visible signs. You don?t have to technically
be ?old? to have old-looking hands.

Take a look at the skin on the back of your hands. Do they look
dry, thin, wrinkled, veiny or dull? These are the most common
signs of hands that have been neglected. And, no, putting on
regular lotion once in a while doesn?t qualify as proper hand
care. If you really want to keep your hands looking youthful
and fresh, there are some steps you?ll need to take and isn?t
difficult to do.

Moisturize

Hands that are dry tend to look ashen and dull and can give
off the appearance of looking older than they really are.
Keeping your hands constantly moisturized is the biggest step
you can make to improve the condition of your hands. Use hand
creams and lotions designed for the skin on your hands as
opposed to regular body lotion. Hand care products that
contain oatmeal, shea butter, cocoa butter and other natural
ingredients are ideal for maintaining proper hydration.

Exfoliate

Just like your face, your hands build up layers of dead, flaky
skin. Invest in a special hand exfoliating cream or use
cornmeal as a scrub to gently slough off dead skin cells.
Massaging your hands with a homemade blend of lemon juice,
glycerin and rose water will also help keep the skin on your
hands looking vibrant.

Protect

Sun damage can also happen to your hands so it?s important to
include them in your sun care. Apply sunscreen to your hands
as well as the rest of your body when you plan to be outdoors
for an extended period of time. If you are a commuter, carry
sunscreen with you and apply them liberally to your hands.
When driving, hands on the steering wheel are at the mercy of
the sun?s rays through the windshield and side windows so
protecting them on a daily basis will prevent premature aging.
In addition to protecting your hands from the sun, keep them
from other damaging environmental elements and pollution by
wearing gloves while doing activities like gardening and
washing dishes. When drying your hands pat them, don?t rub.
