After the face and neck, the hands are the most prominent tell-tale sign of one’s age. It’s also susceptible to daily wear and tear from environmental stressors and doing human things like washing the dishes. While the underside and palm are pretty resilient, the dorsal back of the hand is much weaker in comparison as it loses collagen and elastin as time goes by.
We often pay the utmost attention to our faces, so why not take the time to keep your hands looking youthful too? Pop a hand cream in your everyday bag for moisturising on the go, and once in a while, consider a full-blown hand pack or mask with skin-loving ingredients to generously pamper your digits. Here are five we recommend:
