Give Your Hands Some TLC With These Anti-Aging TipsThe keys to a more youthful look |
Applying hand cream multiple times a day is especially critical for those constantly washing their hands with antibacterial soaps. "If this is not done hands will be one of the first areas of the body to reveal true age," says Jenise Lockett, BABOR expert esthetician. "Dryness, sunspots, irregular pigmentation and wrinkles are the most common signs. Over time, the skin becomes thinner and collagen proteins and fat diminish revealing hands that may appear more veiny, thin and prone to wrinkles." She recommends applying Doctor Babor Power Serum Ampoules Vitamin C Serum, $49.95, before the hand cream for a supercharged antioxidant, hydrating, brightening nighttime hand treatment.
On a more general level Lockett suggests looking for hand-care products with vitamin C, vitamin E, enzymes that support a healthy microbiome and phyto-actives to nourish and strengthen skin.
