23

Arbadacarba · 22/03/2021 17:28

A bit less wrinkly than mine so going for 38.

sheslittlebutfierce · 22/03/2021 17:29

early 30's?

I have the oldest hands ever and always have had. The only saving grace is that they are identical to my late nana's

HOkieCOkie · 22/03/2021 17:29

80

hellywelly3 · 22/03/2021 17:31

dottiedaisee · 22/03/2021 17:35

30

ReverendRicketyCricket · 22/03/2021 17:37

Basset hound. Definitely.

kylie122 · 22/03/2021 17:40

Guys I am 31

@ShirleyPhallus the reason why I did this is because I seen a 21 year old with old hands and was curious

The reason for chipped nails is because u had my nails done before Xmas and couldn't get them professionally taken off as all salons are closed !! Yours is the only cheeky comment

Impossible to say. Are you holding your hands above your heart so veins are flat? Or are they naturally flat? Mine look 20 years older if they are held by my side.

MountainPeakGeek · 22/03/2021 17:44

Well I'm late 40s and my hands looked just like that until probably 2 or 3 years ago, when the skin suddenly started looking a bit less elastic, so anywhere between 18 and 45 is my guess... Grin

You don’t think the guesses of 40+ (up to 80) are cheeky?
MountainPeakGeek · 22/03/2021 17:45

Ooops - cross posted.

kylie122 · 22/03/2021 17:46

@ShirleyPhallus nope I don't just you

PrintempsAhoy · 22/03/2021 17:47

I thought 30

My own hands look about 80 Grin

Emeraldshamrock · 22/03/2021 17:47

20's / 30's mine are 40 but look 70 without plenty of moisturiser.

Sparklesocks · 22/03/2021 17:57

Are you trying to find your hand twin like joey in friends?

CurseMyTinyThumbs · 22/03/2021 18:06

Main thing I can glean from my hands is that I've barely been outside the front door in months. You could use them to teach vascular anatomy.

QueenPaw · 22/03/2021 18:36

I've just taken my nail polish off and grated my finger. Not all at the same time
Don't hands look weird when you take a pic?!

Guess my hand age
Mia184 · 22/03/2021 19:04

Btw, veins are no indicator of age. Those are the legs of Chris Froome who is about 30.

I thought that was a horse's legs! Shock

@kylie122 I would say you're 32-ish?

Tianatiers · 22/03/2021 19:11

I thought 30
I would lose at this game, my hands have been awful ever since I had DC, they really age me.

SamanthaJayne4 · 22/03/2021 19:12

I am late to this thread but my first thought OP was 25.

Popcornbetty · 22/03/2021 19:54

@honkytonkheroe
'51! We always laugh about my hands and I can remember my mum's looking similar. I think it's mainly because neither of us had any fat on our hands. I had skin problems following some mediation I took that didn't help though! Sometimes I see very elderly people holding hands on certain adverts and their hands look very similar to mine!'

Skinny hands 😂 that must be my issue too as my hands look older and I'm only 30's! Ive heard it's the neck that really shows an age and i have thankfully a younger looking neck at least just old womens hands!

hazandduck · 22/03/2021 21:54

Anyone else now holding their hands up above their heart to see if they look younger 😂

It’s been a long running joke between DH and my friends that I have “five year old boy hands” I think it’s because I bite my nails and have really small hands!

However I have noticed, like a PP, that they have aged so badly since having kids. It’s all the nappy changes and extra hand washes! I’m 32. They look wrinkly (I’ll spare you a pic!) but DH still says DD (who is 3) and I are identical hand twins. So
I guess I have wrinkly toddler hands?

Thankyou for those who recommended hand creams for my
Fossil hands going to look into them Smile
