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!

Rebecca Willshee Nail and Beauty Specialist

Testimonial: “JC was so low, suicidal at points. Sore, red, angry, his skin was awful, we had tried everything and doctors you name it. We reached out to Becky, who was wonderful. My son was quiet and withdrawn, lacked confidence and self esteem, and locked himself away from the world. Becky booked us in for a consultation to discuss different options of treatments and we decided the new hydro treatment would be the best option. We started the course and JC was nervous but Becky was great with him talking him through everything, step by step! As we went each time JC’s skin got better and better, but also the difference in him was huge, he was gaining confidence, shoulders back, head held high. We have watched his skin change from this red, aggressive, angry skin that was sore, acne was debilitating to him but now he is confident, holds his head up high and has even got his first job! We are so proud. When we met Becky I felt confident she would help us get his skin better and back on track but what has actually happened is skin looks amazing but to see our son gain confidence has been the biggest win! Teens often get pushed aside, put on string meds and told “it’s just your age” but this isn’t what they want to hear, but The SkinBase treatments Becky has done has changed his life! We cannot thank you enough Becky! JC is continuing with the treatments as it still gets the odd breakouts but the scarring is still improving week in week out. The hydro Facial is just amazing and we cannot recommend it enough and of course Becky and her passion for skin and helping people is wonderful!”
