Why the backs of your hands look older

Why the backs of your hands look older

When it comes to your face, your anti-aging routine is a well-oiled machine. Your hands? Not so much. Lines, creases, bulging veins, and dark spots on the back of your hands are all signs that give away your age. The hands are one of the first places we see signs of aging, and the area most people neglect when it comes to skincare.

Experts say because the skin on the back of the hands is so much thinner than on our face or neck, it not only succumbs to the aging impact of the environment, but it also is more susceptible to the aging process in general. As we age, skin gets thinner, but on the back of the hands the skin is already thin. fine-hender

So what can you do about your aging hands?

Laser Technology: At Ageless Splendor we offer laser technology to remove age spots (brown spots).

Sunscreen: You should smooth on a dime-sized dab of hand cream with SPF 30 before heading out the door each day—and reapplying after you wash your hands or every two hours if you’re exposed to even a little sunlight.

Moisturize: Keep your hands well moisturized with thick hand creams (particularly overnight) to keep the skin on your hands looking healthy.

Growth Factor Serums: Creams containing growth factors promote new collagen formation.

Be sure to start taking care of your hands at a young age, and you will end up with a great routine that keeps your hands looking younger.

How to tan safely

How to tan safely

With bikini season in bloom and the sun rays hitting the sand, we all think about that “ghostly” white winter skin. But did you know getting that glow can be dangerous? Tanning beds and laying out in the sun just aren’t safe. So what options do you have?

Spray Tan (or airbrush tan) 
Tanning beds are no safer than sun exposure. Instead, head to the pros for a spray tan. To make yours longer lasting, be sure to exfoliate before and moisturize every day following.

Add Bronzer to Your Makeup Routine
The right makeup has the ability to fake a flawless tan, which is where bronzer comes to the rescue. After you’ve perfectly blended your foundation, simply apply the bronzer of your choice for an effortless glow.

Self-TannerB6x6oagCAAEBwew
Self-tanners are a sunless (and long lasting!) option for a summer glow. Simply apply, and watch skin instantly deepen to a bronze that will last for 7 to 10 days. Self-tanners color just the top layers of the skin and gradually fade as the skin naturally exfoliates over time.

A sun tan just isn’t healthy. It is extremely aging to the skin and can lead to skin cancer. So keep your skin safe by applying sunscreen when you start your day and reapply frequently.

Skincare myths you should stop believing

Skincare myths you should stop believing

Despite what is shared on the internet, most skin woes don’t have a quick magical fix. So how can you tell the good advice from the bad? We put together a few skincare myths you should stop believing!

Lemon juice is not a great treatment for blackheads. 
Lemon juice is irritating to your skin, and can seriously burn skin when exposed to sunlight.

Washing your face multiple times a day can cause dryness.

The SPF in makeup or facial products may not be enough. 
You should look for products that provide broad spectrum coverage with at least 30 SPF.

There’s no set rule on when to start using anti-aging products.
The facial aging process is influenced by a combination of genetics, environment and behaviors, as well as how well someone takes care of their body. To take care of your skin and prevent signs of aging, it’s recommended to use a daily facial sunscreen.

Egg whites don’t shrink pores.
Egg whites might make your skin feel tighter just by drying and sitting on your skin, but that’s it.

Toothpaste can really irritate a pimple.
Toothpaste can actually be very irritating to the skin, causing redness and peeling when applied to a pimple.

Be sure to always research DIY skincare treatments and use caution when trying something new!
