Our hands are amazing; they allow us to express ourselves, create, build, and connect with the world around us. They are integral to every aspect of our lives; however, despite their vital role and complexity, most of us seldom give them the attention they deserve.

As one of the most visible parts of our body, our hands not only serve as tools for daily life but also contribute to how we present ourselves to the world.

Unfortunately, because we use our hands so often, and because they are more likely to be exposed to the elements, the skin on our hands often ages more quickly than the skin in other areas.

Hands are often a neglected part of our bodies, and more often than not, it is only when our hands start to age that we begin to notice them.

As our hands age we may notice the following:

• Loss of volume

• Thinner skin

• More prominent bones and veins

• Less elasticity in the skin

• Age spots or brown spots

How can I reverse the look of aging hands naturally?

When it comes to keeping your hands looking youthful, prevention is always better than the cure. While aging is a natural process, there are plenty of steps you can take to minimize the impact of time, and that will keep your hands looking more youthful.

To prolong the look of youthful hands consider:

• Minimizing exposure to harsh chemicals

• Protecting your hands from UV damage

• Keeping your hands clean, (using gentle products)

• Exfoliating for soft, smooth skin

• Using intensive moisturizers

• Keeping your nails clean and tidy

By taking these simple but effective steps, you can slow down the visible signs of aging and keep your hands looking and feeling their best.

What is the best filler for aging hands?

If you’re already noticing the effects of aging hands, and you are at a stage where it may be too late for preventative measures, injectable treatments could be what you need to rejuvenate the look of your hands.

At LIV Dermatology we are huge advocates of using Radiesse filler as our go-to anti-aging hand treatment.

Radiesse for hand rejuvenation

Radiesse is a dermal filler that restores volume, stimulates collagen production and smooths away wrinkles. Made with calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres, it provides immediate plumping effects, while encouraging long term improvements in skin firmness and elasticity, making it the ideal injectable treatment for rejuvenating the skin on the hands

What are the best products for aging hands?

If you want to keep your hands looking soft, supple and youthful for as long as possible, you need to invest in the right skincare and protection products.

Hand moisturizers

Hand moisturizers hydrate the skin by locking in water and replenishing the skin's natural oils, helping to maintain its barrier function. This keeps the hands soft, smooth, and protected from dryness, irritation, and environmental damage. Investing in a moisturizer with a formulation made with rich, active ingredients is a must if you want to preserve youthful looking hands.

UV creams to protect the hands

When our hands are exposed to damaging UV rays, the sun’s radiation breaks down collagen and elastin in the skin, leading to thinning, sagging, and the formation of fine lines.

Over time, UV exposure also triggers the development of age spots and uneven pigmentation, making the hands look older than they are.

LIV Dermatology recommends: SkinBetter Science Sunbetter ToneSmart Sunscreen Lotion

SkinBetter Science Sunbetter ToneSmart Sunscreen Lotion is perfect for protecting the delicate skin on your hands. Its lightweight formula provides broad-spectrum SPF 68 protection while evening out skin tone. With its hydrating, non-greasy finish, it defends against sun damage and helps maintain youthful, healthy looking hands.

UV protection gloves

For the ultimate protection of the hands against UV rays, why not consider UV gloves.

UV gloves are specially designed and made from fabric with built-in UV protection to shield the skin from harmful sun exposure. They are an excellent tool for preventing signs of aging on the hands, as they block UV rays that cause collagen breakdown and pigmentation issues.

They have been designed to expose the fingernails, making them the perfect accessory to wear to the nail bar to protect your hands from UV light, while your nails are curing.

They’re also fabulous to wear during activities like driving, where hands are exposed to direct sunlight. These gloves can significantly reduce UV damage to the hands and protect the wearer against age and liver spots.
