Old looking hands.

Not in my experience! The only good thing is they match the rest of me 😉 seriously I've tried loads of creams but they are still wrinkly with brown spots.

There was a programme on Ch 4 or 5 the other night in which a woman had fat from her bottom injected into her hands to make them look younger . Does anyone remember an episode of Green Wing in which someone put some new glasses on, looked at her hands and recoiled in horror? That’s how I feel these days; my hands have been my only vanity. And the trouble with them is that they’re the only part of your body that you can’t not see.

I used to have nice hands - big, but slim and my ring size is still J left and K right, but now they are old (like me) wrinkled and with prominent veins on the back. I don’t exactly hide them, but I’m no longer proud of them. I just thank whoever/whatever that they’re still quite mobile and aren’t troubled by RA or any other serious conditions.
I use hand and nail creams, so they’re soft enough, but the tell tale signs of age are beyond help.

To get best results keep nails nice an d trimmed and cuticles done, done use nail varnish to draw attention

and....this is best I can do

I use Neutrogena hand cream which is not expensive, lovely and rich. You get some latex gloves is the medical sort (not expensive buy in bulk) and put loads of cream on your hands and put gloves on and keep on for a couple of hours. Always protect hands doing more or less anything demanding. Always cool them when it's hot.

(Veins show more if your blood flow is bad deep breathing oxygenates the blood and helps blood flow but its a minimal improvement..can be related to heart health generally ie blood pumps around and doesn't get stuck)

Same here. I wonder if it’s because I haven’t looked after them the way I look after the rest of my skin - no sunblock, no gentle soap and moisturiser. Also I do lots of gardening and housework without wearing gloves, and scrub my nails clean very vigorously when they’ve got garden soil under them. That sounds so bad, going up stairs to get some hand cream now!

do try the gloves thingy...

Always had very ordinary hands... so now they are just arthritic and wrinkly..
But I did have quite nice knees, feet and ankles.. now I have very "old" and rubbery looking ones!
