Have you started to notice that your hands don’t look quite as youthful as they once did? Hands start out young and soft but inevitably show signs of aging with age spots and wrinkles like the rest of our body. Taking care of them from early on can help to maintain a youthful appearance.
Because the skin on our hands is rather delicate and thin, we have to take extra care of them. Fortunately, it's never too late to start caring for your skin! Indulge in a little hand therapy by following these 3 easy steps and you’ll t be sure to have soft and supple hands in no time!
Step 1: Moisturize
We have all heard how important it is to use lotion on our hands, however, sometimes throughout the day, it isn’t always on the forefront of our mind - so it is important to make it a habit. It helps to keep lotion by the sink in your bathroom and kitchen and use it when you wash your hands. Keep small tubes in your purse, car and desk so you never have the excuse of not having lotion "handy".
Step 2: Exfoliate
Exfoliate your hands at least once a week. There are several brands available that are excellent hand exfoliators – it is even safe to use the one you use for your face on your hands. If you can’t make it to the store, not to worry - adding salt in with your liquid soap can serve as a foolproof way to remove dead skills.
Step 3: Treat
Give your hands a little TLC by marinating them in cream overnight at least once a week. Add a hint of cream (face cream will work), and wear cotton gloves to bed. This treatment allows the skin to absorb the moisture leaving your hands oh-so soft in the morning!
By adding just a few extra steps to your daily regime, you will be well on your way to prolonging the effects that the natural aging process can have on our skin!
