Don't hands look funny when you really focus on them Confused
Here's my very dry hand SadI must do better with hand cream. 15 years of nursing hasn't done them any good sadly.

Just to say the ‘year’ in my username isn’t my birth year Grin

Your hands would be looking amazingly good if it were! @DWPmisery1972. I think you are in your 20s. (reminisces having smooth hands...)

MacavityTheDentistsCat · 26/01/2021 15:15

Ooh! Difficult!
MrsThomas - early 40s?
FlatteredRhubarb - early 30s?
DWPMisery - mid 20s?

Golly, Flattered, they look great! What handcream do you use?

chorusline79 · 26/01/2021 15:28

I'm sure I'm really bad at guessing so apologies if I'm way out!

NewYearNewOldMe · 26/01/2021 15:34

MollyVolley · 26/01/2021 15:37

Wow @DWPmisery1972 definitely young hands!! I am delighted with the guesses of in 30s for me so complimentary am ha ha 45

MacavityTheDentistsCat · 26/01/2021 15:39

You're both about right, chorus and NewYear. I'm 52 (or will be in two weeks.)

NewYear - late 20s to early 30s. (And lovely shaped nails!)

FlatteredRhubardFool · 26/01/2021 15:40

@MacavityTheDentistsCat thank you but I think they have aged a lot in the last year. The veins are more visible now. I use Aveeno dry skin relief hand cream but not regularly. I spend a lot of time outdoors usually and don't like the feel of gloves so they get battered by the weather and regular washing. I use proper soap now and they've been less dry since then.

PickAChew · 26/01/2021 15:41

I'm in my 50s and often have dreadful red and cracked hands at this time of year, so I'll take 46!

Upset2021 · 26/01/2021 15:45

@Dontstepinthecowpat have you tried O'Keefe's working hands cream it's great? It's in a bright green pot. Also Sudocrem before bed.

MacDuffsMuff · 26/01/2021 15:48

God I didn't realise how hideous they were until I took a photo of them. Don't make me do that again OP! Grin

I had the same 'how hideous' reaction to mine, MacDuffsMuff, so I'll hazard a guess that we are about the same age, i.e. around 50.

54 @MacavityTheDentistsCat so you're about right! Grin
MacavityTheDentistsCat · 26/01/2021 16:04

I think it's the knuckles, MacDuff. Get past 50 and they suddenly look like they have too many folds of skin. The damn traitors!
