Whenever you think about skincare, your mind immediately focuses on your face. Well, you are not alone in this; the truth is many people concentrate their beauty regimen solely on their faces while they fail to take care of the other areas of their skin. It is as if the skin located on the back, arms, or hands is resistant to the effects of time and toxins in the environment.

This mistaken belief holds special significance when it comes to the hands. Chances are, you are among those who believe that their hands are doing perfectly OK as long as they are able to move the fingers or clench and grab objects. But the truth is that the skin on your hands needs the same, if not more enhanced attention if you want to maintain your youthful appearance.

Your neglect for the skin on your hands will cause its deterioration by allowing age spots, collagen deprivation, and dryness to develop. When all these conditions are present, your hands will also have very thin skin and will be prone to cuts and breakouts. Besides, neglecting your hands while giving all your TLC to your face just doesnt’ make sense.

However, by following three simple steps, you can improve the skin on your hands without distracting you off your facial skin care. And by taking good care of your hands, you may even help improve the skin on your face and your overall appearance. So get on with the program below.

Keep Out The Sunshine

The sun may be a source for some of the most beneficial nutrients needed by the body, just like Vitamin D. But generally speaking, plenty of sun exposure may not be good for your skin. Sunlight between the hours of 10AM and 3PM can hasten the dehydration process and lead to the development of age spots, dry scales and cracked skin on your hands.

The best way to deal with sunlight is by applying sun block or sunscreen. Check out the right amount of SPF for your skin; but the rule of thumb when it comes to sun protection is the higher the SPF, the better.

Satisfy The Thirst

It is not just your throat that can feel all the thirst. Your skin is constantly giving off essential moisture; and the situation can be worse in your hand area because of all the things you do with your hands. So the best way to save the skin on your hands is to give it all the water it needs.

You can satisfy the thirst felt by the skin on your hands by drinking plenty of water. Many people forget that water is vital not only for the total well-being but for the health of the skin too. Drinking water may be the best way to replenish all that lost moisture. And it also comes for free.

Apart from drinking plenty of water, you should also consider investing in a bottle of moisturizing lotion or other hand creams. Applying these products as a daily part of your beauty regimen will help your skin trap in all the moisture and shed off dead skin cells which may be quite abundant in your hands.

Deal With Aging

You can not deny the fact that the aging process is out to damage your skin. It does not matter if you have done all that is necessary to lock in the moisture in your skin and protect it from sunlight. Sooner or later, your skin will sag, spots and wrinkles will appear; but not if you can help it.

As you approach the age of forty, it is time for you to appreciate anti-aging lotions and creams. These products can help delay the onslaught of the aging process; in some degree, these products can even reverse the effects that aging has on your skin.
