Are your hands giving away your real age?

We work them until they?re callused, expose them to the elements without care, and otherwise ignore them until all the sudden we look down and think ?What happened to my hands?? Our hands are the window to us and considering how expressive and visible they are ? don?t you think it?s time to pay attention to them?

Block the sun: Many skin problems (dark spots, white spots, fine lines and sags) are actually sun-exposure problems. Use a hand cream that contains an SPF of at LEAST 15 to help ward off further damage!

Smooth away rough spots: To soften hands, exfoliate once a week using a mix of 1 packet of table sugar, a few drops of lemon juice or lemon oil, and enough olive oil to make a paste. Smooth this onto skin and rinse off.

Fight dryness: Keeping skin moisturized prevents cracking and fends off discoloration. Simple rule: apply moisturizer every time you wash your hands. Try Bliss Glamour Gloves for 20 minutes ? the special gel lining will moisturizer and heal skin with oils from grape seeds, jojoba, and olives and well as Vitamin E.

Clear the air: Did you know breathing exercise will help boost circulation and improve the appearance of your skin? Another circulation booster: dry skin brushing

Go for help: Tried everything but still have issues? Time to call your doctor. State of the art treatment for again hands usually begins with the removal of discolorations or brown spots with a laser that beams light onto pigment cells, destroying them. Renova is good for fighting wrinkles and increases cell turnover and boosts collagen production. Plump up those bony or veiny hands, plastic surgeons increasingly suggest a variety of injectables. Although they are permanent, they can last up to a year and minimize the appearance of veins and wrinkles!

My hands don't bother me nearly as much my feet. I recently found A&D Ointment very helpful. I'm not speaking of just the sole of my feet, 2 days of use actually improved their overall appearance. Now I don't feel the "need" to polish my toes to feel good about the way my feet look.

Really? A&D Ointment? Wow thanks for the tip. My feet are dry and the heels always peel.

As for my hands I feel they do look a little older than my face does. I used to take the best care all around but then I got lazy...uuuggghhh Now I'm paying the price.

I have started to exfoliate again but I don't care for my hands nearly as much as I should or used to.

Thanks for reminding me that my hands matter too.

Yep, I should add that I exfolliated my feet (after showering); applied the A&D; and slept in (cotton) socks. The following morning I was pleased (more so than I was with the vasoline or olive oil treatment's I've tried in the past).

I'm sure it a lot of that has to do with the Vitamins in it. A is really good for skin.

Here's the ingredients:
Petrolatum 53.4%; Lanolin 15.5%
Inactive Ingredients
Cod Liver Oil (Contains: Vitamin A; Vitamin D); Carrot Oil; Fragrance; Light Mineral Oil; Microcrystalline Wax; Paraffin

Granted it has petrolatum and Mineral Oils in it - but for the feet I could definitely see this as a softening possibilty.
