My old hands

So I was 50 last month. My face is reasonably unlined due to genetics/luck. However, the backs of my hands tell a different tale.

I've googled tips but am sceptical anything will reverse or even delay the process of ageing.

Anybody got any tried and tested suggestions, please?

Clarins Super Restorative hand cream ( in the red tube) has improved my 54 year old hands.
When I have tried other (cheaper) brands, they have not been as good.
I put some on last thing every night.
Also,when I use a body or face scrub, I put some on my hands as well.
And wear gloves for washing up/ housework.

Thank you!

I should have added I often find the backs of my hands often slightly react to cream just to add to the challenge. Sad

Are you me? The rest of me is fine at nearly 50 but my hands have always looked old, despite wearing SPF for years. I'm considering cultivating an air of mystery and wearing gloves all the time.

I'm in this boat too. This Hand Chemistry cream is quite effective in making my hands smoother and more even toned.

Thanks for more suggestions. My hands do remind me of my lovely long since departed grandmother but ....

My hands and face are the same , I actually don't care and have nothing to try and fix them . No one looks at my hands and I'm grateful it isn't the other way round 🤗🤗

I really love Olay hand cream. Plus sunscreen especially in summer when driving.

Placemarking!!!!! Trinny recommends dermarollering them before you put on the handcream.
