Don’t let your hands give away your age

Hands – they work hard all throughout our lives, they’re constantly exposed to all kinds of weather, and of course, they’re always in the sun. It’s no surprise that our hands age faster than any other part of our body, especially if your skin tends to get dry or you spend a lot of time outdoors! Don’t let your hands give away your age. Here are our top tips to keep your hands looking soft and youthful. Hand Cream Regularly moisturising is the first step towards achieving younger looking hands. How often should you apply it? To start with, use hand cream any time your hands feel tight or dry, and always use it before bed too.

Hands – they work hard all throughout our lives, they’re constantly exposed to all kinds of weather, and of course, they’re always in the sun. It’s no surprise that our hands age faster than any other part of our body, especially if your skin tends to get dry or you spend a lot of time outdoors! Don’t let your hands give away your age. Here are our top tips to keep your hands looking soft and youthful.

Hand Cream

Regularly moisturising is the first step towards achieving younger looking hands. How often should you apply it? To start with, use hand cream any time your hands feel tight or dry, and always use it before bed too. You can use a lighter texture hand cream during the day, so that you can get straight back to work, and then a richer cream before bed, to let it sink in and nourish while you sleep.

Wear gloves

Whenever the weather turns cold or windy, get your gloves on! Harsh weather can dehydrate the skin, which will lead to your hands becoming dry, flaky and lined. Remember to wear gloves when washing up too, putting hands in water and washing up liquid will dry them out as well.

Wear SPF!

That’s right – it’s becoming more and more popular to make hand creams that contain SPF. These creams will help to prevent age spots and slow down the ageing caused by UV rays. You could use a normal SPF product but hand creams with sun protection are specially formulated for hands, so they absorb quickly without leaving any residue.

Exfoliate

Just like with the skin on your face and body, exfoliation leaves your hands looking rejuvenated and youthful. Did you know that we offer Microdermabrasion manicures? The effects are quite incredible! Hands are left soft, it reduces fine lines and pigmentation, and uneven skin is smoothed. Click here to find your nearest therapist!

Drink enough water

Drinking enough water is the easiest way to prevent wrinkles and flakiness on your hands. Although the skin on your hands is thicker than the skin on your face, your hands are exposed to more environmental stressors, which means they are just as susceptible to water loss. So stay hydrated and you’ll see the difference!

Client Testimonial: “Jodie is extremely professional and knowledgeable throughout the IPL treatment sessions. She explains the process and what to expect so that you are put at ease from the first consultation. During my IPL sessions, Jodie marked up the areas and avoided any moles or damaged skin, then preps using the cooler handle before a light shot. The light shot itself really doesn’t hurt, it’s done in seconds. The fact the skin is cooled first makes this an easy process to tolerate. I genuinely didn’t feel in pain at all and Jodie applied a lovely aloe balm to soothe the skin straight away. If anything I felt my appointments were more of a therapy as I knew I would be hair free come my holiday. After each session I came away feeling the progress getting better and better and by week 5 there was hardly any hair growth. I didn’t feel the need to shave anymore. I felt more confident and there is much less maintenance at home now which means I have more time for other things. I would highly recommend IPL hair removal by SkinBase and with Jodie as she made me feel at ease from the moment I asked about it and the difference it makes is life changing for someone who wasn’t so confident in her skin. I can’t wait for Summer and my holiday. Thanks Jodie & SkinBase.”
