When it comes to your face, there is a special facial soap, facial creams, scrubs, UV-shielding sunscreens, and a host of others; but your hands? Not so much.
According to Ranella Hirsch, a Boston-based dermatologist if you do not have a youth-preserving plan for the delicate, oft-abused skin and nails on your hands, it will be a dead giveaway of your age.
Visible veins
Age is a significant factor in the extent to which a person’s hand veins become pronounced.
On the surface, the skin starts to thin and lose its elasticity, as a person gets older.
Second, people who are underweight overall or have thin hands may find that their veins are more prominent.
Third, a person’s genes can also play a role in the appearance of their hand veins.
For most people, bulging hand veins are normal and a cosmetic issue. Heavy-duty concealers can instantly cover dark veins however; natural remedies like consistent application of blended tomatoes or crushed garlic, mixed with lemon juice and few drops of olive oil can be of help.
Scaly hand
Environmental factors that remove moisture from the skin, heat, hot showers, arid climates, and harsh soaps can all trigger scaly hands.
In addition, as we age, our skin holds less water, so our skin becomes drier.
Fortunately, you can use home remedies to address scaly hand and restore moisture.
Applying coconut oil or petroleum jelly can help. Alternatively, taking an oatmeal bath can suffice.
Most importantly, foods rich in antioxidants can minimize damage from toxins and help your body make healthy cells.
Daily routine for youthful hands to maintain youthful hands
Wash your hands with a mild, unscented soap only.
Immediately follow up with a moisturizer.
Check your nails for any brittleness or snags.
File them in one direction to prevent breakage.
Wear gloves if you head outdoors on a cold, dry day.
If you are cleaning, wear latex or cotton-lined gloves to protect them against any chemical exposure.
At night, apply a thicker ointment or cream and slip on a pair of cotton gloves before bedtime.
Use a non-acetone polish remover to prevent brittle nails.
Eat a healthy diet full of vegetables and fruits.
Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize.
Applying a lotion or cream after washing your hands and bathing helps to trap water in your skin, which can plump up your skin.
