If you're concerned about the signs of premature aging showing up on your face, you already know to apply retinol and "anti-aging" eye creams, but the most tell-tale sign isn't always on the face. As my 56-year-old mom always tells me: the hands are the real giveaway, with dark spots, fine lines, and a loss of radiance marking the passage of time on mature skin. Of course, there's nothing wrong with aging—it happens to all of us. But it's understandable if you'd prefer to minimize the evidence, even just slightly.
Until recently, hands were something of an afterthought. Now, in-office treatments like lasers, fillers, and even fat grafting are increasingly popular to help patients look (and feel) younger. A side effect of that boom? The OTC category has surged, and anti-aging hand products—including serums, lotions, and treatments—are now widely available. In my opinion? Hand creams for mature skin are the best place to start and can easily fit into any body care routine.
