Ohhh... Aged hands?

They say that when a person wants to know how old you are, the first thing they look at is your hands, because hands can give you an idea of how old you are. When we come back from the break we talk about how to prevent our hands from ageing, so you can keep your age a secret forever.  

 

It is in the hands that we first look at a person if we want to guess their age, because the appearance of the hands gives us away. That is why we must keep our hands looking youthful. 

 

Why do hands age faster than other parts of our body?

 

First of all, it should be noted that along with the décolleté, neck and face, the hands are the other part of the body that is most exposed to the sun's rays and other climatic factors. Our hands are our all-purpose tools. They are the ones that are most exposed to water, to aggressive cleaning products and now with covid, alcohol and hand sanitizer they have destroyed our hands. We all pay a lot of attention to our hair, we go to the beauty salon, we give hair treatments and masks. The same with the face, we do facials, moisturising treatments and so on; but when it comes to our hands, we often forget about them, we don't even use lotion or creams; and then we wonder why our hands are so dry and look so out of place with our age. 

 

What are the signs of ageing on the hands?

 Dryness, appearance of spots, dilated capillaries. Appearance of wrinkles. Thinner and flaccid skin. No matter the colour or sex of the person, the appearance of the hands can occur in any person.

 

How to prevent premature ageing of the hands?

In addition to incorporating good hand care habits such as using moisturising creams and gloves when cleaning, there are other treatments to prevent hand ageing. The first one is known as: "lipofilling" and the other is known as “peeling".

 

Homemade Recommendation: Mix 1 avocado with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Apply this mask on your hands and wash them with cold water.
