Massage any residue into the backs of your hands. If it is good enough for your face, then it is good enough for your hands.<\/p>\n<p>Always apply SPF to your hands especially before driving.<br \/>\nI am sure I sound like a broken record but the biggest tip I can share with you in the fight against ageing is SPF and this applies just as much for our hands as it does for our face. If it is the only tip you pick up from this article, please get into the habit of applying your SPF to your hands daily. It is true to say that more traditional SPFs do not last long on the hands especially if you wash and towel dry frequently so this is where the once per day formulas really do excel. My favourite for the hands is the Ultrasun Sun Protection Anti-Pigmentation Hand SPF30. It provides a high level of both UVA and UVB protection and contains their fantastic anti-pigmentation formula to keep our hands looking younger for longer.<\/p>\n<p>SPF it before you gel it.<br \/>\nMany of us have gel on our nails. Have you considered that this can age your skin? It does and it will as it is UV light. Before going to my nail appointments, I apply my Ultrasun 15 to 30 minutes before I leave home and that way I know that my hands and feet are protected.<\/p>\n<p>Exfoliate<br \/>\nEven our hands need exfoliating. Whenever I exfoliate my face, I also exfoliate my hands. It clears any dead skin and makes sure that anything that I apply to my hands can be fully absorbed. Exfoliating makes the skin look better and younger. Exfoliating frequently, can help reduce the depth of a wrinkle.<\/p>\n<p>AHA your hands<br \/>\nIf you use any AHA solutions like the Pixi Glow Skin Tonic or the Alpha H Liquid Gold, once you have finished wiping over your face, wipe over the backs of your hands. Remember if you are using AHAs on your face and body in the evening, you must protect the skin by wearing your SPF during the day.<\/p>\n<p>Moisturise every night before you sleep<br \/>\nWhatever residue is left on my hands after applying my night time skincare routine, I rub into the backs of my hands. Once I get into bed, I have my L\u2019Occitane hand cream ready and waiting. It is my favourite hand cream; it is the L\u2019Occitane 20% shea butter hand cream. I cannot imagine a day not using this product. Not only does it make my skin baby soft, it smells divine and comforting before I drift to sllleeeepppp!!!! Zzzzz<\/p>\n<p>Wear gloves<br \/>\nWhen doing any manual work in the home, in the garden or at work, wear gloves. It will protect the hands and the nails. This will stop any adverse effects from the chemicals in your cleaning solutions, which are far too strong for the delicate skin of your hands. It has also been suggested to wear gloves while driving to protect the hands from UV rays. This is not possible in Cyprus for at least 9 months of the year. During the Winter months or if you live in a cooler climate, try to wear gloves whilst driving. <\/p>\n<p>Remember prevention is better than cure!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>INSTAGRAM: @ChristinaMariaKyriakidou TWITTER: @XTinaNicolaides FACEBOOK: Christina Maria Kyriakidou VLOG CHANN<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":84909,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[87605,87603,87604,87601,7168,10588,12468,14421,14439,14420,2037,8253,549,87597,3744,87598,87606,14435,87599,87600,87602,35609,2669],"class_list":{"0":"post-84908","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-hand-care","8":"tag-aging-hands","9":"tag-anti-pigmentation-hand-cream-30spf","10":"tag-anti-ageing-beauty-tips","11":"tag-anti-pigmentation-hand-cream","12":"tag-beauty-blogger","13":"tag-beauty-tips","14":"tag-beauty-vlogger","15":"tag-christina-kyriakidou","16":"tag-christina-maria-kyriakidou","17":"tag-christina-nicolaides","18":"tag-hand-cream","19":"tag-hands","20":"tag-loccitane","21":"tag-loccitane-hand-cream-20-shea-butter","22":"tag-shea-butter","23":"tag-shea-butter-hand-cream","24":"tag-sun-spots-on-hands","25":"tag-ultrasun","26":"tag-ultrasun-spf","27":"tag-ultrasun-spf30-hand-cream","28":"tag-ultrasun-sun-protection-anti-pigmentation-hand-spf30","29":"tag-young-hands","30":"tag-2669"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/life\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84908","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/life\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/life\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/life\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/life\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=84908"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/life\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84908\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/life\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/84909"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/life\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=84908"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/life\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=84908"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/life\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=84908"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
