When we think of anti-ageing skincare our first thoughts are usually for wrinkles and age spots around our face and neck, yet our hands are one of the first areas to reveal our age. Not to mention our hands are always on display (like our face!), and the skin on our hands is thinner than our faces, yet we don’t always give them the TLC they deserve (after all, they do so much work for us all day). Here are some of our top tips for keeping your hands smooth, gorgeous and youthful, especially during the drying winter months. You’ll thank us in a few years! Slough away dead skin cells In the same way you exfoliate your face, sloughing away the layers of dead skin cells on the hands is a great way to get them looking and feeling lush and smooth. We love the Ginger&Me Sugar Body Scrub, which is infused with luxurious botanical oils and natural essences. If you want something more delicate, try using your face exfoliator on your hands too. Our favourite is the delicious cranberry scented O Cosmedics Exfoliating Cleanser, which contains four natural exfoliating bead types, plus peptides for anti-aging benefits. Start treating your hands with care Frequently washing your hands with drying soaps or using detergents can dry out your hands, which leads to rough, peeling or itchy skin. Try using gloves if you are doing dishes, and swap your soaps from harsh sanitising ones to a natural and moisturising hand wash
