The hands don’t get enough credit. We put them through the ringer and then we rarely take the time to care for them — aside from the periodic manicure, of course. As a result, our hands show our age — maybe even more age than our faces.

So what’s the deal? How do we keep our hands looking younger and keep our skin fitness in good shape? Here are a few skin care tips for your hands:

• Sun block. Sun block. Sun block. I can’t say it enough. Just like you put sun block on your face every day, put sun block on your hands too.

• Wash your hands with a moisturizing hand wash followed by an intense hand lotion. Any lotion with shea butter and vitamin E should do the trick.

• Creams with retinol will help smooth out skin tone. I like RoC Retinol Correxion Hand Repair SPF 15. It contains SPF too!
  
• Talk to your esthetician or dermatologist about injectables. Obviously this is more invasive, but you will see results immediately.

• Since the skin in the hands has little collagen and there is not fat beneath the skin, you need to use a treatment that will plump up your hands and promote collagen growth. Try  Elemis ProCollagen Hand and Nail Cream.
  

Skin fitness is not just limited to your face. Care for all of your skin including the skin on your hands.
