No matter how we care for our face, no matter how many layers of cream are applied to it, there is one part of the body that betrays the age: our hands. According to the surveys conducted, aging hands is one of the biggest problems of fading beauties, every eighth lady's skin condition worries more than wrinkles on her face. For the sake of rejuvenating hands without surgery, we are ready for anything - from waving them in the air to sleeping in gloves.
Over the years, the skin on the hands is thinned, as a result of which the veins become more noticeable and pigmented spots appear. And if the makeup can hide the signs of aging on the face, then it is not easy to do for the hands. That is why it is often said that the hands are the main indicator of age. Even the Madonna, who has anti-aging methods for almost every part of her body, is forced to wear "mittens" (gloves without fingers) to hide their elderly hands. Here are a few simple but effective ideas that allow you to "throw off" your hands for several years, but without fat injections or laser treatment to remove pigmented spots.
Getting Rid of Stains
When we get older, the cells in the skin that produce melanin (the brown coloring pigment "obtained" by us in tanning) distribute it unevenly. On the skin of the hands this pigment accumulates on the back surface, forming there spots more dark than the color of the rest of the skin. The number of such pigmented spots directly depends on how long we are exposed to sunlight, more precisely, ultraviolet radiation. With excessive pigmentation it is possible to compete, not running to expensive laser polishing. Modern bleaching agents for the skin of the hands contain components that complexly affect the process of melanogenesis (melanin synthesis in the skin), brighten and bleach, and exfoliate, antioxidant and protective effect on the skin. Clinically tested creams reduce dark spots as effectively as if they contained hydroquinone. For reference: hydroquinone interferes with the production of melanin, but in many European countries preparations containing hydroquinone are prohibited for sale as carcinogenic. Special creams and gels contain polyhydroxy acids that mimic the effect of chemical peeling , leaving the skin of the hands smooth and supple. The spots will be removed after four weeks of use.
Application of sunscreen
Up to 80% of the visible signs of aging of our hands - the loss of skin elasticity, the acquisition of roughness and age spots - are due to its appearance in the action of ultraviolet radiation. Applying sunscreen will prevent possible damage. You can use and face creams, they can hide any redness around the joints. The SPF level is from 20 to 30.
Nail treatment
Unkempt nails with a rough, dull surface will negate all efforts to "anti-aging". Care zalogtami should not be difficult.

Revlon offers as many as eight skin color shades.
