Your dear hands are constantly exposed. You could bet on our most expensive crème and book in for bi-weekly facials, but if you don’t care for your hands they’ll quickly reveal your age. Be mindful of sun exposure, especially while driving which most people often underestimate, and consider harsh weather or even things like air con which can dry out your skin, and leave your palms rough.
There’s very little fat on the back of your hands, so when the small amount of collagen or elastin fibers that are there begin to break down, it doesn’t take long for the crepe-y effect to kick in. Invest in driving gloves, gardening gloves and rubber gloves and mind hot water and the ‘nasties’ in cleaning products.
Do as I do and keep hand creams by all main access points: your dressing table or bathroom, your handbag and your desk at work. Here are some great ones, along with other hand treatments:
