Our hands manage to do a lot throughout the day and if we don’t take care of them, they might begin to look older than they really are. The hands can age faster than the face; with years of washing up, daily use, sunshine and environmental factors causing the skin on our hands to dry out and look old beyond their years. The hands get as much sun exposure as the face and yet we don't seem to pay them the same amount of attention.
Practicing a good skin care routine helps to keep our skin looking youthful and healthy, but unfortunately we don't seem give the same careful attention to our hands, as we do to our face. As we age, the veins and bones become more visible because the skin on the hands is thinner and more delicate than elsewhere, and just as we lose fat and collagen from the face and body, we also lose it on our hands, making them look old and skeletal.
These days we make a lot of effort to look after our body and face, with more of us opting for facial treatments like botox, dermal fillers and skin treatments to help keep us looking younger and rejuvenated. Some women take such good care to keep their face looking good, that they find the face and hands don't really match. The hands can look so much older than the rest of you, and the loss of volume, fat and elasticity just accentuates the differences.
The skin on your hands is a dead giveaway of ageing, and over time they can lose their firmness and volume, they can go dry, scaly and get crêpey skin and get protruding veins and age spots. Age spots are also called liver or sun spots, which are areas of hyperpigmentation caused by UV exposure. Since UV exposure causes age spots, the best way to prevent them is to protect your hands from the sun by using sun screen. Age spots can easily become less visible by using skin bleaching agents, fading or lightening creams or laser therapy.

- Exfoliating the skin with microdermabrasion treatment will remove dead skin cells and make your skin softer and brighter, and can also help to even out the skin tone. When you exfoliate your face at home, you should apply the same product to your hands.
- Always moisturizer your hands after they've been in water, by applying anti-ageing moisturizer whilst they are still damp.
- Chemical Peels will take away any dead skin, improving the skin tone, softening the skin and eliminating brown spots.
- Laser treatments can promote collagen production, which will help plump up your skin.
- Dermal filler injections will correct volume loss in the back of wrinkly hands, which will improve the skin quality and plump your hands up again. A dermal filler treatment with hyaluronic acid, will help to plump the skin and make them wrinkle free.
