Are you ignoring your hands?

You spend all those hours in a gym and a small fortune on face creams, but if you ignore your hands, you may just be spilling the beans of how old you really are. Hand care is equally essential when it comes to dealing with ageing issues, especially if you are suffering from premature ageing. Your hands are susceptible to the first signs of ageing and most often, they age faster than your face. This is when anti-aging treatment and hand care routine makes for a vital choice rather than an option.

The reason why your hand shows early signs of ageing when compared to your face is because of minimal fat deposits on the skin at the back of your hands. This means that even a small amount of collagen loss caused due to the skin elastin fibre breaking down – considered as a part of your normal ageing process and partly caused due to excess exposure to the sun – is going to have a noticeable impact on your hands.

Hence, even your hands need anti ageing treatments and creams that are specifically designed to work effectively on your hands and not your face. Hand lotions and Hand creams are readily available for purchase from medical stores and healthcare shops and hence, make use of these and not a face cream or lotion if you really want to target and treat your hands against aging.

Furthermore, not using proper sunscreen lotions and creams on your face, hands and feet can result in your skin getting exposed to harmful UV rays resulting in increased brown spots, also termed as liver spots, which is a pigmentation concern that can make you look older than your actual age.

It’s sure that you would not want to throw your hands up and give up on caring for your hands that easily, hence, it is advisable to make use of the most advanced hand cream products that comprise of growth factors mainly derived from plant extracts that can help promote collagen formation, rejuvenate the skin and enhance new cell growth. You may not get instant results, but if you start with these creams at around the age of 35, it will definitely help to control premature ageing and improve your hand skin texture effectively.
