A BUDGET-FRIENDLY buy can keep hands looking youthful even when they’re regularly exposed to ultraviolet light, according to an esthetician. He shared must-try tips for defying the visible signs of aging on the hands and face. Amish Patel is an award-winning esthetics practitioner at Intrigue Cosmetic Clinic , a UK-based provider of services such as Botox and fillers.
Speaking to The U.S. Sun, he revealed how to maintain an ageless appearance.
Patel said aging hands could be rejuvenated with filler treatments, chemical skin peels, and lasers. However, wearing SPF Factor 50 year-round could prevent a need for these pricey options as it reduces sun damage. “Just as UV rays damage your face, they also affect your hands,” he said.
“We are more likely to wash our hands and forget to reapply sunscreen, which is why hands tend to age more quickly with tell-tale sun damage such as 'age' spots and wrinkles. “Use a nourishing hand cream with a high SPF and reply after hand washing to rejuvenate and protect your hands.” Patel suggested also wearing a budget-friendly accessory to protect hands from aging.
“Excessive exposure to ultraviolet light can cause your hands to age more rapidly, so remember the same applies to your regular gel manicures,” he said. “You can buy manicure mitts with high UV protection, which cover the main body of your hand and expose the tips of your fingers, making them an ideal anti-aging investment for anyone who regularly enjoys a gel manicure.
