Ageing Hands
As we age, our hands often reveal the first signs of ageing. While we may focus on skincare for the face, the hands are often neglected but can be a telltale sign of our age. The natural ageing process, along with environmental factors, can leave your hands looking older, thinner, and less youthful.
Several factors contribute to the ageing of our hands:
Loss of Collagen and Elastin: As we age, the skin’s collagen and elastin production slows down, leading to a loss of elasticity and firmness. This makes the skin more prone to wrinkles and fine lines.
Decreased Fat Volume: Over time, the subcutaneous fat in our hands diminishes, causing the skin to look thinner and the veins and bones to appear more prominent. This gives the hands a more skeletal appearance.
Sun Damage and Age Spots: Years of sun exposure without adequate protection can cause dark spots and pigmentation, resulting in uneven skin tone and sun damage.
Dryness and Thinning Skin: The skin on our hands naturally becomes drier and thinner with age, which can make them appear rougher and more vulnerable to environmental stressors.
As hands age, you may notice some or all of the following:
– Visible Veins and Bones: Loss of volume beneath the skin can make veins, tendons, and bones more prominent.
– Wrinkles and Fine Lines: Thinning skin and reduced collagen result in wrinkles, fine lines, and creases.
– Age Spots and Pigmentation: Sun damage leads to uneven skin tone and age spots, making your hands look older.
– Dry, Crepey Skin: Thinning skin can become more fragile, leading to dryness, rough texture, and a crepey appearance.
