As the years pass, skin on the hands thins, causing veins to become more prominent and liver spots to appear. So it’s little surprise to learn that women are now seeking cosmetic surgery to banish signs of ageing on their hands.
In fact, in the last month alone, cosmetic surgery clinics have reported an 18 per cent increase in enquiries about hand rejuvenation procedures such as dermal fillers to volumise and smooth the skin.
Even if you don’t fancy resorting to fillers, there are plenty of ways to keep your hands looking tip top. Here are some youth-boosting goodies to try:
Elemis Pro-Collagen Hand and Nail Cream
This intensely hydrating cream targets age spots and skin crepiness. Powerful marine algae padina pavonica, antioxidant melissa, barley, copper-rich malachite, myrrh and aloe vera work their collective magic to boost smooth and youthful looking hands whilst conditioning nails and cuticles.
