Whoever first noted that you can tell a person’s age by their hands was incredibly rude. Unfortunately, they were also correct. Understandably, our hard-working hands take a bit of a beating. But I just think it’s a fabulous sign of a life well-lived. That said, there’s nothing wrong with taking a little preventative action. So let’s take a peek at some of the best anti-aging hand creams, shall we?
Anti-aging hand creams work — they are chock-full of powerful active ingredients that are similar, if not identical, to the ingredients we love to slather on our faces, but with one advantage, hands have the ability to tolerate much thicker, heavier creams than our faces do. So when you literally lay it on thick, your hands are gulping down high quantities of the good stuff — sounds excellent! Just make sure you don’t forget and touch your face after applying a thick cream, otherwise, you can count the minute until a pimple appears.

You wouldn’t wash your face without applying moisturizer, so why wouldn’t you do the same for your hands? Hands are our tools and they allow us to carry out daily tasks in the home, at work and in the garden. But we all too often neglect them, leaving them defenseless to the environment and in poor condition. One of the first places to show any signs of aging, your hands can easily give the game away if you neglect them. Using a hand cream is the best way to repair and restore damaged hands, ensuring that they not only look younger but feel softer too.
