How to take care of your hands and keep them looking young
Did you know that the skin on your hands deserves just as much attention as your face? It’s just as prone to wrinkles and skin aging and often the first part of our bodies to reveal our age. Read our top tips for taking care of your hands every day and keeping them looking young.

Why are our hands so prone to aging?
Our hands are one of the most exposed parts of our body to external aggressions in every season. They are subject to cold temperatures in winter and UV rays on sunnier days, they come into contact with cleaning products and are washed frequently. Year after year, skin loses elasticity, it becomes drier and more delicate and wrinkles and dark spots start to appear. Use a personalized skincare routine to take care of your hands so they will appear younger for longer.
The hand care ritual

Add hand cream to your skincare routine
To prevent dry skin and restore damaged skin on your hands, make applying hand cream a habit throughout the day, especially after washing your hands. This will help to restore skin’s moisture and make it softer and more supple over the years.
Choose a hand cream that protects, repairs, hydrates and nourishes in one like Restorative Hand Cream. Creamy yet non-sticky, it offers a perfect powdery finish, so you can use it whenever you feel the need, throughout the day.
At home, leave it by the sink and use it every time you wash your hands, keep a tube in your bag too, so you can re-apply whenever you feel the need.
When moisturizing your hands, remember to gently massage the cream into your cuticles and nails, it will soften the former and strengthen the latter.

Exfoliate down to the tips of your fingers
Just like your face and the rest of your body, you should carefully exfoliate the skin on your hands once or twice a week. This ritual removes any dead skin cells on the surface, helping the skin to be softer and more radiant, and improving its ability to absorb hand care products.
Use Energizing Foaming Exfoliant in the shower to exfoliate the back of your hands. The lightweight foam has a refreshing scent and reviving effect, and the natural origin microparticles eliminate dead skin cells and rough patches in just a few minutes, preparing your hands to absorb a suitable moisturizing cream.

Next use an anti-aging hand cream
Just like your face, your hands deserve to be pampered with an anti-aging cream. As we age, the skin on our hands can wrinkle due to a loss of collagen and elastin. It can also dry out, and dark spots can start to appear, a natural consequence of exposure to UV rays, but also genetic and hormonal changes.
Regular moisturizing and the use of an anti-aging, anti-dark spot hand cream can prevent dryness and signs of aging.
Applied regularly, Sisleÿa L’Integral Anti-Age Hand Care Cream provides a complete anti-aging action to combat signs of aging on your hands.
From the first use, skin is hydrated, protected and its upper surface is smoothed. Over time, loosened skin is smoothed, existing dark spots fade (they are reduced in number, size and intensity) and skin regains its rebound and elasticity. Day after day, hands appear younger.

Protect your hands for all seasons
It’s no secret, the wind, cold weather and the sun all damage our skin and our hands are exposed all year round. To protect them from changes in the weather, consider wearing gloves when you go out in the winter and applying sun cream in the summer.
Whether you are being exposed to the sun, on a bike ride or drying your nail varnish under UV lamps, apply Super Soin Solaire Silky Body Cream SPF 30 to your hands before you start. This high protection, youth defending cream combats the effects of photo-ageing on the skin with a blend of UVA and UVB sun filters and cutting-edge, high performance active ingredients.
