As we grow older, we try to keep our skin as healthy and radiant as possible. Is it not a pity, then, that all this effort is lost the moment one looks at our hands?
The reason that hands often betray your age, as opposed to the skin on the face and body, is because you forget to take proper care of them. Having more sensitive and delicate skin and being exposed to the sun, the hands fall victim to infection, free radicals and UV rays. Even if you apply hand cream in the winter, it is not enough to correct the wear. That is why more targeted care is needed in the area.
Starting with sun protection, sunscreen on the hands is beneficial, especially during the summer months.
In addition to the risk of carcinogenesis, exposure to sunlight causes brown spots and scars on the skin. You can combine sunscreen with hydration by choosing a hand cream with a protection index. You can also start wearing gloves during the day. This will not only protect your hands even more but you will also be incredibly elegant.
If you want, you can consult your dermatologist about some laser treatment against brown spots.
As with the face, the skin on the hands loses collagen and fat as we get older.
This causes your arms to look very thin and the tendons to be erased. This effect is aggravated if you smoke, as smoking dehydrates the skin even more. The best treatment for collagen depletion is dermatological treatments. Some of the most popular options include fillers and microneedling.
So consult your dermatologist or beautician for the most appropriate treatment for you.
Finally, as the skin on the hands does not produce sebum (as on the face), good and regular hydration is essential.
That is why it is good to moisturize them daily, morning and night. Also, choose a mild soap that will not dehydrate or irritate your hands. Accordingly, prefer an exfoliating product (if desired) and an alcohol-free antiseptic, artificial fragrances and color to avoid damage to the skin barrier as well as possible irritation and redness. For example, an antiseptic with aloe or similar soothing and moisturizing ingredients is a must!
