How to Make Your Hands Look Younger: 5 Tips for Youthful Skin
It is said that hands and cleavage reveal real age. How good that you can cheat a little with these five tricks and conjure up your hands a few years younger.
Our hands are often a natural tool for us. Whenever we are working, we usually do not even notice them. But if we think about it for a moment, it becomes clear how much we actually use it: grabbing, holding, rinsing, typing … The signs of the times are quickly noticeable. That’s why we’re showing you how to properly care for your hands to make them look younger than they actually are!
1. Goodbye UV
Although it is known that UV light accelerates skin aging, we do not protect our hands enough from it. Because sun protection is not only necessary when sunbathing in the swimming pool or at the beach, it should also not be forgotten in everyday life – and even in winter. In colder seasons, UV radiation is also present and causes age spots and wrinkles. Because, contrary to what the name might lead you to believe, age spots do not appear with age, but are caused by pigment disorders due to UV exposure.
2. The right choice of color
It might sound strange at first, but the color of our fingernails can also make our hands look older. Blue tones of red or generally blue nail polish ensure that veins catch the eye more. And these often make hands look older. Nail polishes that flatter the skin tone, such as beige or pink tones, are better.
3. Water march!
We cannot emphasize it enough: Getting enough fluids is the secret behind soft, plump skin. And not just from the inside. The magic words are: cream and peel. If you have a little more time, you can soak your hands in a lukewarm water bath. This is a great way to prevent rough skin and brittle nails, especially in winter.
4. Nails
Speaking of nails: You shouldn’t neglect them when you take care of your nails. Well-groomed nails instantly make hands look younger. Paying attention to the little things is half the battle. Therefore: Care for the cuticle with olive oil and push back the nail bed a little. It’s also better to file your nails short than to wear them long and brittle.
5. Double protection
Gloves are your new favorite household cleaning accessory. Whether you’re cleaning or washing dishes, they protect your hand and nails from chemicals and other ingredients that dry out your skin. Gloves also provide extra protection from UV rays when gardening. Our hands will thank us and we’ll enjoy more youthful skin in a few years.
