Getting old is a natural process. As you age, your skin will go through various changes. You will see visible signs of ageing under your skin’s surface, especially on your hands.
We care more about our faces than our hands. Today we will take a closer look and will examine what are the reasons that makes our hands look older.
- Age spots
Age spots, also known as sun spots or liver spots, consist of flat, spherical blotches in your pores and skin that are brown to black in shade.
It commonly appears on the hand, chest and face. . The name is a bit misleading because an age spot does not only appear because of older age it is also caused due to ultraviolet (UV) ray exposure.
Prevention
Age spots can be prevented by lowering UV exposure. Protect your hands by applying sunscreen every day. When deciding a sunscreen, here are some suggestions that you should keep in your mind:
- Use an SPF 30 sunscreen at a minimal
- Pick a broad-spectrum sunscreen. This kind of sunscreen presents both UVA and UVB protection.
- Dry, scaly skin
Dry, scaly pores and skin is frequently seen with age, but it’s not necessarily inevitable. A lack of water and sleep can dry out your skin. Smoking can also make dry skin worse as it can take away all your skin moisture.
Poor blood flow can also result in dryness on your skin. Here are some other causes of dry scaly skin:

- Weather (cold dry air)
Prevention
- In cold weather always apply glove

Wrinkles increase because of collagen loss. The younger you are the more protein fibres will be present in your body.
