Your Hands Might Be Giving Away Your Age: Expert-Approved Tips to Fix It
You might have a perfect, glowing face but there is one part of your body that is quietly giving away your age. From wrinkles to dry patches and even peeling skin, your hands age faster than any part of your body.
Here are dermatologist-approved tips to restore your hands’ youthful glow.
Why Exactly Do Our Hands Age Faster?
Most of us do not realize this but the skin on our hands shows signs of aging earlier than other areas.
Constantly washing and using certain sanitizers which also causes the skin to lose natural oils and years of sun exposure cause hyperpigmentation and age spots.

Over time, all of this leads to dull, scaly hands that make you look older than you actually are.
5 Expert-Approved Tips to Fix It
Sunscreen is a must!

Your hands need sunscreen as much as your face does.
This is because sun exposure is a leading cause of premature skin aging. To fix this, use broad spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 daily whether you’re outdoors or in your house.
Use sunscreen with SPF while you drive, walk, or stroll and ensure that you reapply after every hand wash
Strengthen skin barrier through hydration

Your skin needs a lot of moisture especially if it’s already looking dry and wrinkled. Get hand creams that contain hyaluronic acid, ceramides or glycerin to hydrate your skin and strengthen skin barrier.
You can also use hand masks. Apply them at night before you sleep. For better, immediate results, use large amounts of hand cream at night and wear cotton gloves to seal in the moisture before you go to bed.
You would wake up to moisturized, plump skin that gradually appears more youthful.
Fade dark spots.

Dark spots are an early sign of aging and should not be ignored
Ingredients such Vitamin C, niacinamide or kojic acid help fade dark spots. You can also buy retinol-based hand creams to help pigmentation and boost collagen.
Consult your dermatologist for treatments such as laser therapy or microdermabrasion.
Try to restore elasticity and volume.

If your hands are visibly bony or there are visible vein lines, then the problem might be collagen loss.
Retinol-based creams help boost collagen but you should also see your dermatologist for other options that would restore collagen and volume like microneedling and hyaluronic acid fillers.
These procedures will help to stimulate collagen and give your hands a more youthful look.
Go easy on your hands.
Use moisturizers to keep the hands hydrated. Photo Credit: Pinterest
While you need to maintain hygiene by washing your hands, you also need to understand that washing too frequently dry out your hand.
Also ensure you avoid harsh soaps as they can dry out your hands easily and use non-stripping moisturizer cleaners so that they don’t also dry out your hands.
Keep a moisturizer in your bag and ensure that you apply it after every wash or sanitizer use.
A simple, consistent routine with hyaluronic acid to hydrate, vitamin C to brighten, and moisturizer to prevent dryness will keep your hands smooth, soft, and supple.
