If dark spots are making your hands appear older than they really are, look for a hand cream that targets them specifically. Clinique Even Better Dark Spot Correcting Hand Cream, $29.50, contains botanicals to help brighten existing pigmentation and SPF to keep spots from getting worse.
Aging hands can look saggy just like other body parts. Strivectin Volumizing Hand Treatment, $29, contains plumping hyaluronic acid (the same ingredient used in injectable facial fillers), to make hands look younger almost instantly. Plus, it has an anti-aging niacinamide complex, vitamin E and shea butter.
If you're looking for one product to use on all your most-neglected body parts, Skinceuticals Neck Chest Hand Repair, $70, is just the thing. It has salicylic acid to speed up your skin's natural exfoliation process, as well as hyaluronic acid to moisturize and plump. Plus, it's a time saver since you can slap it on your neck, chest and hands in one fell swoop.
Retinol is the gold standard in anti-aging products for your face, so why not also use it on your hands? Goldfaden MD Hands to Heart Anti Aging Plus Brightening Hand Treatment, $38, contains retinol to boost cell turnover and minimize wrinkles, as well as niacinamide and hyaluronic acid to brighten and fight sagging.
Another retinol-packed hand cream, Eve Lom Time Retreat Hand Treatment, $50, contains encapsulated retinol that gets deep into the skin and releases gradually during the day. It triggers skin cells to produce more collagen, meaning hands will look plumper and younger.
