As a licensed esthetician I get asked by a large number of clients how to keep our hands from showing the signs of aging. I found this article by Jennifer Linder, M.D., Chief Scientific Offer at PCA Skin Care to be very informative so I thought I would share it with you.
“Our hands are a dead give-away of our age. The face lift used to be considered the gold standard for facial rejuvenation, but now superficial chemical peels and injectables are sometimes touted as the best and least invasive ways to achieve dramatic, visible results. This strategy can be applied successfully to the hands as well. Some volume-replacing injectable options are Radiesse, Restyland and Juverderm. These are temporary, yet effective solutions for the sunken look that is so common in older hands. But, although effective in restoring volume, it is also critical to improve hydration levels pigmentation and collagen production to get the best, lasting results. Chemical peels applied to the hands will help reduce hyperpigmentation, stimulate collagen deposition and increase exfoliation.
The most critical step in keeping hands young is to apply broad-spectrum sun protection with at least an SPF of 30 every day. Additionally the hydrating and collagen-building benefits of Hydrating Serum and C-Quench Antioxidant Serum have dramatic benefits for the hands. An easy way to get in the habit of protecting your hands is to take whatever is left over on your fingers after applying to your face. ”
