Why our hands age faster
Share
Our hands tell more than we realise.
The skin here is thinner, with fewer oil glands, and faces constant exposure to water, soap, sunlight, and the small abrasions of daily life.
It’s no surprise they show signs of age before the rest of us.
Dryness, fine lines, and uneven tone are not inevitable, but they do demand daily care.
A balm rich in oils and antioxidants will not only hydrate but help restore the skin’s resilience, so the story your hands tell is one you choose.
Other ways to keep hands youthful:
-
Wear sunscreen daily, especially on the backs of hands.
-
Use gloves for gardening, cleaning, or washing dishes.
-
Drink water throughout the day to maintain hydration.
-
Eat a vitamin-rich diet or consider collagen supplements for skin elasticity.
-
Apply a rich hand balm before bed for overnight repair.
Hands, neck and face areas do get the most amount of uv damage, so even if you do simply apply sunscreen every day, your skin will be protected from the elements and look more youthful as you age.
