How often have you looked at the hands of someone older than you and thought "oh my gosh! Gosh, look at those hands. I hope my hands never look like that!" Don't worry about offending anyone. A lot of people have had the same thought at some time. The truth is that as we age, the skin on our hands ages right along with us. It loses some of its firmness. It begins to sag. You might also see some spots. However, the good news is that there are still things that can be done to keep your hands looking young and pretty. The best thing that you can do is to get a good anti aging hand cream. This article will look at some of the top hand creams available.
It's important to remember that a little bit goes a long way. The desired effect can be achieved with small amounts. A product that says otherwise isn't worth its weight in gold. These are products that often are expensive and if you are using a lot of them, then you are buying a lot just to keep up with the routine. Sometimes they are even stooping low enough to give you a weakened formula. The best ones only take a dab at a time. One thing to note with any product is the amount of time it might take for your skin to adapt. If your hands feel greasy you are probably using too much.
The damaging effects of the sun can be lessened with a cream containing sunblock. We concentrate on our faces, arms and legs but forget about the susceptibility of our hands.
The best thing to do is to look for a skin scream or hand cream that has sunblock built into it. The ingredients section of your hand cream will reveal an SPF rating if it contains a sun block. If you want to protect your hands try using a cream with an SPF rating just a bit higher than your everyday sunblock. The reason for this is that your hands are in the sun more than the rest of your body.
Make your own anti aging hand cream at home.
If you have particularly sensitive skin or issues with skin irritation making your own cream might be the best solution for you. You can find lots of natural ingredients to put in your cream. Many of these ingredients can also be found in the average kitchen. How about trying some oil, salt and sugar mix for a simple easy to make cream? Simply mix these ingredients and then apply to skin. Leave the mix on for a few minutes and rinse with water. Perfection! Your hands are softer!
There are a lot of things to consider when it comes to choosing a hand cream. Brand, type, cost-these are all important factors. Ingredients are important. Before you find the right cream for your hands you may have to kiss some frogs and it's likely to take some time too.
