When it comes to fighting the signs of aging, we spend a lot of time caring for the skin on our face and necks but the most commonly overlooked area is our hands. Do your hands look as young as you feel? Just like our faces, our hands are susceptible to volume loss and sun damage. Volume loss becomes associated with looking older as the veins and tendons on the back of the hand become more prominent and long term sun exposure leads to age spots.
Because the skin on the back of the hands is extremely thin, the loss of fat padding on any level shows quickly. Take away that small cushion and all the structures in the hand show up – the tendons, bones and the veins. Sun damage plays a big part in the “aging hand” syndrome. Given that our hands are routinely ignored when it comes to daily application of sunscreen – and they spend a lot of time in the “driver’s seat” wrapped around a steering wheel – it’s no wonder they start showing their age earlier than the rest of our body.
The natural fat cushion that we’re born with begins to lessen in our late twenties and early thirties. By the time we hit 50, most of us have hands that tell the truth about our age and, sometimes, can actually make us seem older than we actually are!
Over many decades, sun exposure causes brown spots and crepiness of the skin. Veins become more prominent, and, along with fat loss, cause the hand to look more skeletal.
