Taking Care of your Hands in Your 20′s
20′s: As you enter your 20’s, your hands may be the last thing on your mind. They look young and healthy. But did you know this is the best time to start preventing the effects of aging? Now in your 20′s is the time to begin preventing the signs of premature aging which comes from exposure to sun. At least twice a day, apply a moisturizer with an SPF of at least 15.
If you are going to be outdoors in the sun for long periods of time, then apply a sunscreen with a UVA blocking agent in it. UVA rays are what cause the brown spots and wrinkles on your skin.
About once a week, exfoliate the skin on your hands with a simple facial scrub. Removing old dead skin will help the daily moisturizer you are applying to penetrate deeper into your skin.
Finally, apply an over the counter skin lightening cream nightly to your hands. This will fade minor brown spots and discoloration that may already be infiltrating the skin on your hands. Beware, though, if you are not using your sunscreen, the spots will reappear.
