Young Again: 10 Nourishing hand creams to reverse the signs of aging
updated the Monday, April 4, 2016
The first signs of aging are normally seen on your hands.
The hands are one part of the body many neglect to protect. It might not be a well-known fact, but the skin on the back of your hand is actually thinner than that of the skin found on your face. Coupled with the little fat content, it is easily susceptible to damage in the form of aging. When the skin is not protected against harmful UV rays, the collagen or fibers in the skin structure break down easily. This leads to features such as webbed or crinkly skin, protruding veins or even dark spots.
If you are looking to reverse the effects of collagen damage on your hands, your first line of defence should be sunscreen. Opt for a hand cream with SPF to help protect the skin from further damage. You can also use retinol during your night routine to help improve the texture of your skin. When using retinol, we recommend using a pea-sized amount as such formulas tend to be greasy and coat your skin well.
If you suffer from getting your age guessed just as you are about to blow the candles, it is time to invest in a good hand cream. Head over to the gallery above for a round-up of 10 nourishing hand creams to help make your hands appear healthy and youthful once more.
