ageing

Our hands are very important to us as we need them to complete most of our everyday chores like cooking, washing, carrying things, holding on to things for support and unknowingly, your hands takes the brunt of your work.

In the process, they come in contact with all types of substances and textures throughout the day. This is one of, and the main reason for its accelerated signs of ageing, much faster than your face, and is characterized by age spots, a veiny appearance and thin, dry skin.

It’s unfortunate but not many realize that their hands show signs of aging much faster than the face. While most people concentrate on getting rid of signs of aging on their faces, their hands quickly develop thin, dry skin, age spots and a veiny look, which are all signs of aging.

The reduced production of collagen and elastin is a part of the natural aging process which leads to dry hands with thin skin, especially on the back of hands. The skin may also appear semi-transparent with the further loss of elasticity. To top all of this, external factors and environment can lead to a rough skin texture, age spots and pigmentation on the back of hands.
