The beflattered team, all in their 40s, 50s and 60s has tried a load of great products available for hands, read our take on it.
We have found a few products with claims of reducing and helping make age spots on the hands less noticeable.
Polish Up
A good buff and polish of the hands encourages new fresh brighter skin cells to come to the top and so our first line of improvement is a good scrub up.
We love Art Deco One Minute Manicure because its the perfect treatment that combines peeling and TLC in one go and in one minute. It’s a real recipe for skin smoothing improvement with Jojoba Oil, Almond Oil ,Orange Oil, Grape and Apricot seed Oils blended with Himalayan Crystal Salt.
Fade them away
Topical creams have come miles in the last decade with some fantastic clinical results proving their effect.
Pharmagel Hand Therape is a clinically proven powerhouse product packed with age fighting ingredients. Anti aging peptides intensely hydrate and dramatically repair the unique skin structure of the hands and Retinol-A it tackles aging all round. For Age Spots Licorice Extract is the main ingredient. It contains glycyrrhizin (anti-irritant), that influences the chain of reactions that leads to melanin production and Age Spots.
We also love the aromatherapy smell and skin feel of This Works Perfect Hands. An anti ageing hydrating hand cream for smooth and young-looking hands. This helps reduce the appearance of dark spots, tightens and firms as well as locking in moisture and it got a big thumbs up from our user triallers.
For Age Spots on the hands and the body we also love two products that are also multi taskers - just like us women.
Skin Doctors Fade Away™ reduces the appearance of age spots and uneven skin tone anywear on the body! This contains ingredients that help to inhibit this excess melanin production and help diminish existing pigmentation as well as preventing new spots from forming.
Derma Fade Crème® is a fading and lightening treatment, applied daily AM and PM this pharmacy formula utilizes the concentrated strengths of three technologically advanced antioxidants that together work to break down any unwanted hyper pigmentation of the skin
Aside from functioning as an extremely proficient fading treatment, Derma Fade® also contains an SPF 15 so a double whammy.
And don’t let your hard work go to waste if your hand cream doesn’t contain a sunscreen you should protect your hands with a good SPF, we like Supermoist™ SPF30+ Accelerator with UVA and UVB protection. A superb non greasy moisturiser from Skin Doctors that protects skin from the damaging effects of the sun and maximises the results of your cosmeceutical treatments. This is for the face but we think it works great on the hands too!
Beauty From Within
As we age our skin produces less oil and moisture itself so we think giving it a helping hand from your diet is fundamental to looking younger. Sometimes what we eat is not enough and so taking a good multi vitamin and mineral supplement is good skin insurance. See our choices.
Supplements that contain essential fatty acids (EFA’s) such as Evening Primrose or Fish Oils, also improve the skin.
Replacing your usual Oil with Flax Seed Oil or taking a specially formulated Beauty Oil complex or capsules also works wonders.
