Taking Care of your Hands in Your 40′s
40′s: As you reach your 40’s you skin begins to thin out. This is a normal part of aging due to a loss of collagen in the skin. You will begin to notice more veins, wrinkles, and sun spots on your hands (if any of them look strange or change shape or color, see a dermatologist).
In your 40’s you will want to change to a hand cream that contains whey protein, which has been shown to help the production of collagen. And don’t forget to put on a layer of UVA/UVB blocking sunscreen. In an effort to help produce collagen as you sleep, apply a nonprescription retinol cream or Renovo.
If serious wrinkles and spots continue to appear on your hands, you may have to resort to in-office dermatological procedures. Consult your doctor before making any decision about serious treatments. Many of these procedures can help reverse some of the effects of aging.
It is your face that gets noticed first, but your hands get the most exposure: to people, the sun and the elements. Because of that your hands are what is going to display your age. By taking proper care of your hands you will be able to look your best, and maybe even look younger than you thought you could.
So take care of your hands, no matter what your age, and enjoy the benefits.
