Washing dishes, gardening, exposure to heat and cold are some of the things that have an adverse effect on the skin of your hands. Neglecting skin care for your hands early in life will make it much harder to treat or reverse any damage years from now. Without proper care, your hands will suffer from thin skin, age spots/brown spots, collagen loss, sun damage and dryness.

If you aren't already doing so, it's vital that you moisturize your hands. Promoting collagen and improving the texture of your hands helps them age gracefully. The age-control lotions and creams from Clarins and Lancome are among the best treatments for your hands.
