You can fool people by applying layers and layers of makeup on your face, but you can't fool people by applying makeup to your hands. Nobody does that! Except if you want to be the first person in this world to wear makeup on your hands on a daily basis. If you are comfortable with that, then why not? Back to reality, your hands are one of the body parts which aged the fastest and shows the most signs of aging. People could easily reveal your age by just looking at your hands! How creepy is that? I know! But that's the truth. So if you don't wish that to happen to you, then let us all start taking good care of our hands because people tend to take good care of their face by layering tons of skincare products on their face but neglecting the hands. And actually your hands need the most TLC (Tender, Love & Care)!
1. Carry a hand cream
We use our hands to do most literally work on a daily basis. But we don't actually thought of taking care of our hands. Research actually proves that one of the body parts that reveal our age first is actually our hands because it is exposed to everything and anything first. By carrying a hand cream around with you in your bag might beneficial you a lot. The best way to prevent your hands from aging as fast is to always re-apply hand cream right after washing your hands so that it can prevent moisture loss and also re-moisture your hands instantly.
2. Exfoliate your hands
Establishing a weekly TLC routine for your hands is necessary too! Start of by getting a gentle hand scrub, take appropriate amount of the hand scrub and gently massage your hands, make sure you don't scrub them too excessively or roughly. By doing that once a week, you can effectively remove those old dead skin cells on your hands. After exfoliating, make sure you apply a thick layer of hand cream or hand mask to moisturise your hands. You will feel that your hands turn soft and smooth instantly.
3. Simple hand massage
Before bed, you could perform a daily simple hand massage to increase circulation and promote healthier younger looking hands. One of the simplest ways to massage your hands is right after you apply your hand cream, use your finger pulp to rub your hands and the back of your hands in a spiral motion to allow your hand cream to absorb into your hands faster. But remember to pay attention to the edge of your fingernails, it can also help soften rough skin.
4. Wear gloves
Things that we perform on a daily basis with our hands will aged our hands faster too if we do not take appropriate care. Especially if you do house chores on a daily basis like washing the dishes or your clothes, those laundry detergent or strong cleaning agent might stripped the moisture of your hands making your hands dryer and dryer without you actually knowing it! So the best way to avoid that is to wear gloves while doing house chores. Do not ever think that once or twice contact will not cause any impact because a lot of people thought of it that way and how many of them actually regret doing it?! So prevention is better than cure!
