Hands, like the face, are exposed to harsh elements like the sun and wind and a host of other environmental impurities. The same way they affect the face, these small, daily assaults can result in persistent dryness, pigmentation spots, mottled texture and other signs of early aging in the hands.

Keep your hands from looking older than you do because they say so much about you. Use a hand cream regularly to shut out the elements that can strip moisture from skin that results in chapped hands and ragged cuticles. In addition, don’t forget to wear rubber gloves when using harsh household chemicals.
