How old am I judging by my hands?

I feel like my hands are ageing faster than the rest of me. How old would you say I am just by looking at my hand?
Feel free to post your own hand and we can all pass a bit of time!
Bonus points if you find your hand twin, a la Joey Tribiani!

They look similar to mine and I'm 36.

formerbabe · 11/04/2020 11:09

40?

VettiyaIruken · 11/04/2020 11:09

They look very like mine. I'm 46

Wakeupsunshine · 11/04/2020 11:10

Early 40s?

LockedInMadness · 11/04/2020 11:13

Mid 30s?
Mine look so dry and wrinkly at the moment, too much washing and hand sanitiser.

TrickyKid · 11/04/2020 11:20

Early to mid 40's

AngusThermopyle · 11/04/2020 11:20

Early 50's

HelloTerrance · 11/04/2020 11:22

I never noticed anyone having old hands.

I would say early 30s but I have absolutely no clue.

AlbusBumblebee · 11/04/2020 11:23

Mid to late 30s? Can someone guess mine?

Peppafrig · 11/04/2020 11:24

@AlbusBumblebee late 50s

AlbusBumblebee · 11/04/2020 11:25

My fingers are bent like that. That's how they are. I can't make them straight.

Elouera · 11/04/2020 11:25

40's?

AlbusBumblebee · 11/04/2020 11:29

Lol I always knew my hands were my worst feature. I have an embarrassingly young looking face but hands that age me over 20 years. (I'm 32).

bobstersmum · 11/04/2020 11:31

Op I think your hands look young, late 20s. I'm almost 39 and my hands have always looked old, and I have really prominent veins sticking out so I am not putting a pic up, my hands are ugly!

CatSmize · 11/04/2020 11:41

@AlbusBumblebee I was going to say early 30s for yours!

BogRollBOGOF · 11/04/2020 11:45

They look similar to mine, I'm late 30s.
Hands are susceptible to sun damage. I tend to run in fingerless gloves and try to remember to suncream the backs well, but they do get a battering from the elements.
The hand washing over recent months is tough too. While everyone was trying to bulk buy soap, I bulk bought E45 Grin

tectonicplates · 11/04/2020 11:48

Could I just point out that due to increased hand washing, a lot of people's hands are less smooth than usual at the moment.

Ughmaybenot · 11/04/2020 11:49

Mid thirties? Early thirties maybe, all this hand washing will have made them a bit drier!

LandOfAThousandJumpers · 11/04/2020 11:51

I would guess 36

LandOfAThousandJumpers · 11/04/2020 11:54

@AlbusBumblebee

29?

bettybattenburg · 11/04/2020 12:00

They look older than mine and I'm in my 50s.

bettybattenburg · 11/04/2020 12:01

That was to OP. Albus, is the light odd or are your fingernails white most of the way down?

Huntmychicken · 11/04/2020 12:18

Thanks for all the responses. I’m 38. Even in school I noticed that kids had smooth er hands than me. No wrinkled knuckles or veins visible. I’ve always been quite skinny though, so maybe I was comparing to chubbier kids?!
The excessive hand washing definitely hasn’t helped matters. Handcream is life right now!

I would have guessed late 30s for you OP. Can anyone guess mine?
