Are Your Hands Making You Look Older?

Skin on your hands can become discolored, with uneven, dull texture that is more revealing of age than wrinkles. The culprits: natural aging (skin gets thinner over time) and photoaging (sun exposure causes age spots). Here’s how to get back that youthful glow!

Every Day: Apply lotion with SPF to protect skin from the sun. Stash a lotion, which contains soothing aloe extracts—in your bag for touchups.

At Night: Three times a week at bedtime, pamper your hands with these three easy steps.
* Step 1: Exfoliate. Use a salt-based scrub to remove dull skin.
* Step 2: Spot-treat. What works for your face will work for your hands too. Dab on a facial brightening cream to fade dark spots.
* Step 3: Moisturize. Apply a lotion rich in vitamins A, C, and E, to restore and nourish skin overnight.
