How to Have Young Looking Hands

Take care of your hands to keep them soft, supple and young-looking.

Because your hands are almost always exposed, you must care for them just as you care for the skin on your face. If you don't establish a skincare routine for your hands, the wrinkles and liver spots will appear prematurely. Taking care of your hands can make them look dramatically younger. To keep your hands looking young for as long as possible, create a skin care regimen that you will follow on a daily basis.

Instructions

1. Moisturize regularly to keep your hands soft, supple and smooth. Avoid alcohol-based moisturizers that dry the skin out, and use oil-based moisturizers that penetrate beneath your skin's surface.

2. Take care of your nails. Unkempt nails will make your hands look older. Cut your cuticles and keep your nails manicured.

3. Protect your hands. Use sunscreen to reduce the effects of sun exposure, wear latex gloves when using household cleaners and purchase well-insulated gloves to wear during winter months.

4. Eat a balanced diet. When your diet is lacking essential vitamins and minerals, you may notice the emergence of liver spots and your nails may become discolored. Eat a balanced diet and take a daily vitamin and mineral supplement.
