I have regularly started to use hand cream. How old am I?

As the title says. When do you know you're old? I use hand cream now, daily. How old am I?

How bizarre. I've used hand cream since I was a kid.

I received lots of mini handcreams from my DS and DDiL, for Christmas! I must admit to being disappointed because I rarely use the stuff! My DH was also disappointed because he does use it but they are all flowery scented so he won't use them either 🤣
My other DSiL has said she'd love some, so it won't be wasted.

I would say if you've just started using it when you never needed to before then you're probably 45 - 50 as I'm that age and have found my skin to now be much drier than before.

How bloody rude. You don't get to decide what is or is not a pointless thread.

Op this is something that bothers me as I didn't start using hand cream until maybe a year ago and I think my hands look 'old' (even in summer) I always religiously moisturise my face, neck n chest though twice a day. I wonder if I may have left it too late as I am mid to late 40's now.

I've used it most days since my teens! I wash my hands frequently which dries them out.

Perhaps over 50?

I'm getting on for 50 and only use handcream if my hands are cracked in the winter. And only the rescue stuff. I couldn't be arsed using it for no particular reason. The soap in my house is baby soap so it's gentle enough that I can wash my hands frequently without them getting damaged.

I would make sure that the stuff you wash your hands in is as mild as possible as some soap/handwash dries your hands really quickly but other stuff doesn't.

Me tooooo, how funny! I used to be given loads and never used it. In fact, I'm using up old handcreams I've had for ages. I'm 51 but still not in menopause (possibly peri but still v regular).

I use Clarins hand and nail cream, it’s amazing.

dont use make up but have always been fussy re my hands. love smoothing nice smelling cream on used to paint nails but not now as I seem to chip it off. this time of year on Vinted lots of unwanted hand cream sets so I stock up!

I'm going to guess 35 but I would have used hand cream from my teens...

Is this an old person thing?

I’ve been using it for as long as I can remember. I’m the weirdo who loves get hand cream gift sets.

I’ve personally decided that it is in fact pointless, as have the vast majority of other posters on this thread. Hand cream has no age restrictions if you weren’t already aware. Hope this helps!

40s? (I don’t get dry hands but mine are starting to look older if you know what I mean so starting now)

I started this week im 62.

I can't believe y'all have been using hand cream since childhood. It never occurred to me!

Do people use it to make their hands look younger? I’d never thought about that.

Mine always feel dry and tight if I don’t use it.

I even have a special bedtime one which smells of lavender.

47

I've needed hand cream since I was 16. So any age really.
