Skin Care Keeps Hands Looking Youthful

• Core Facts

Women today are very conscious of protecting their skin and striving for a younger, healthier complexion. ‘60 is the new 40,’ they say. Women like Jane Fonda and Susan Sarandon do indeed look years younger than they are. We visit spas and salons for laser treatments and facials, but often neglect our hands. The average woman’s hands are exposed to sun and harsh weather and years of minor scrapes and cuts. Everyday use of water and detergents can make our hands age much faster than other parts of our bodies.

When you make that resolution to start a new skin care treatment, remember to give your hands a lift too. With the breakthroughs in skin care you can rejuvenate your hands and restore their youthful appearance. Here are some tips for beautiful hands.

• Make sure you give your hands the protection they need. We often forget to use a sunscreen in the winter.

• Gloves are often recommended as the ultimate protection for your hands, but it is not always possible or practical to wear a pair of gloves. What you can do is use a shielding lotion, like Skin MD Natural, which now comes with a built in SPF 15 sunscreen. An added benefit to a shielding lotion is it won’t wash off for four hours.

• Make time for regular manicures.

• Eat a diet rich in Vitamins A, B complex and C (to nourish the skin) and calcium, iodine, magnesium and zinc to make your nails long and strong.

• Use a cream that helps to reduce age spots and fine wrinkles.

• If you have dry and brittle nails, soak them in almond oil.

Like most things, prevention is your best solution. Keep your hands beautiful with a regular skin care program that includes a shielding lotion. Choose one with a sun block built in and protect your hands from exposure - the same way you look after your face.
