A Show of Hands, Skin Care for Your Hands
Filed Under Skin Care Tips |
Wrinkles on your face aren’t the only way nature gives away your age. Your hands can be a more obvious age tattle than you think. Wrinkles, saggy skin and brown spots are all signs that even though the skin on your face looks young and radiant, your hands may be screaming “neglect!”
Sun damage can affect the skin of your hands even more quickly than protected facial skin. While our facial moisturizers should, and most often do, contain the minimum SPF 15 sunscreen, most hand lotions do not. It is essential to apply a lotion with sunblock to your hands if you want to avoid the very same results of sun damage that occurs on your face.
Don’t be afraid to use the same moisturizer you use on your face on your hands when moisturizing your face. Using a mild exfoliating cleanser daily will slough off dead skin cells leaving your hands looking more radiant and feeling smoother and using your weekly lactic acid exfoliator will have the same affect on your hands as it does on your face. Using antioxidant serums and retinol creams can repair much of the damage caused by the sun.
So don’t sit on your hands when it comes to younger looking skin, daily skin care is essential to beautiful skin ~ hands down!
So, what do you think? We want to know!

I would also like to add that house cleaning and dish washing duties are extremely harmful for the hands’ skin! Ladies, always wear rubber gloves for any wet or dirty work!
