Ageing of hands
As you age, your hands lose subcutaneous fat and elasticity, leading to a loss of skin volume. This reduction in volume and elasticity results in translucent skin that wrinkles and develops age spots, making your hands appear to age more quickly.
Several factors contribute to the ageing of your hands, including sun damage, dry skin, and frequent hand washing, which can strip the skin of its natural oils. Additionally, certain medical conditions, such as thyroid issues, kidney disease, autoimmune disorders, eczema, and diabetes, can cause your skin to become rough and flaky, further contributing to the appearance of ageing in your hands and nails.
These issues can be easily avoided with a bit of care. Don’t ignore the problems and let your hands deteriorate. Make sure to drink plenty of water and reduce alcohol consumption, as it has been proven to weaken and dry out the skin.
How to treat ageing of hands
To keep your hands looking as youthful as you feel, it is important to invest in hand-specific products which focus on improving the moisture and elasticity levels of your skin.
