We often invest significant time in facial skincare, but our hands deserve attention too. They're constantly exposed to the elements and can show signs of aging more quickly. A few simple steps can keep your hands looking their best.
Frequent handwashing necessitates using the right cleanser. For dry skin, choose a product with humectants or ceramides. Sensitive or normal skin benefits from fragrance-free, gentle cleansers. Avoid antibacterial soaps, as they can be drying.
Weekly exfoliation removes dead skin cells, keeping hands soft and youthful. Create a DIY scrub with ingredients like coconut oil, honey, sea salt, brown sugar, or lemon. Gently massage the scrub onto your hands, then rinse with warm water.
If dark spots are a concern, use a dark spot corrector containing antioxidants like vitamin C or retinol for a brighter, more even skin tone. Results are seen with consistent use over time.
Regularly apply hand cream to restore moisture. Shea butter is excellent for dry hands. Look for creams with antioxidants like green tea, resveratrol, vitamin E, or retinol for added benefits.
Sun exposure accelerates skin aging. Apply a hand cream with at least SPF 15 daily to prevent dark spots and sun damage, preserving youthful-looking hands.
