If your hands are wrinkled and you are wondering what to do, here is a guide on how to go about turning the clock back and having fairer skin on your hands. With the steps below, you will be able to keep your hands looking youthful.

1. Hand Care Routine

• Moisturizing

Keeping your hands constantly moisturized will surely give you that younger look that you so long to have. You should even do it immediately after taking a shower or after you wash your hands. This is because the moisturizer helps your hands trap moisture and giving you fairer hands.

You should also be cautious when choosing the type of lotions to use on your skin. It is advisable that you go for lotions that do not have irritants. In case you have no idea what to buy, you could try making your own mixture at home. Two thirds a cup of rosewater and a third cup of glycerin are a great mixture for moisturizer. Once it is ready, give it a good shake and store in a cool dry place to use as desired.

• Sunscreen

It is a fact that the skin on your hands is as thin as that of the face. Therefore, it is likely to show photo damage as well as tan in case it is exposed to the sun just as the face would.

This is another inexpensive way of having smoother hands. All you have to do is apply petroleum jelly before going to bed and cover your hands with a pair of cotton gloves. Upon waking up, your hands should look shiny and feel smooth.

• Exfoliation

Dermatologists say it is helpful to exfoliate the skin for a fairer look. This is removing dead skin from your feet and hands. You can successfully scrub your hands using salt and lemons.
