From crow’s feet to smile lines, you’ve probably heard about these common signs of aging. But did you know that some of the most tell-tale signs of aging don’t actually debut on your face, but on your hands?

In fact, your hard-working hands show the most visible signs of aging and often age faster than your face. Day after day, your hands are constantly exposed to the elements, speeding up the aging process. Your skin is much thinner on the back of your hands, which makes wrinkles, veins, and pigmentation more prominent.

The good news is whatever your age, you can embrace your years while keeping your hands looking youthful with these three tips:

Tip # 1: Stay Shaded

One of the main culprits of visible skin aging shines so constantly above us that we often don’t notice the slow damage it does over time. That’s right, we’re talking about the sun! Even when it’s not sunny out, the sun’s rays still penetrate through clouds, exposing your hands to skin-aging UVA rays and often causing age spots. Thankfully, you can protect your hands from sun damage daily by applying sunscreen like Human Nature’s 100% natural SafeProtect SPF 30 Sunscreen, which has a PA++++ rating for superior protection against skin-aging UVA rays and SPF 30 to block up to 97% of skin-burning UVB rays.

Pro-tip: For continuous protection, keep a 50g bottle of SafeProtect in your bag for easy reapplication every 2-4 hours and after hand-washing. It’s also recommended to remove all jewelry before applying sunscreen.

Tip #2: Reduce Pigmented Patches

Admittedly, it takes time and effort to build a good sunscreen habit – unless you’re headed to the beach, chances are you’ll forget to slather on the sunscreen. But the truth is that your days of skipping the sunscreen can leave long-term evidence on your skin. Frequent exposure to the sun's UV rays can leave age spots, which are discolored patches of skin with uneven pigmentation.

You can restore your skin’s timeless beauty with Human Nature’s 100% natural, premium grade Pure Rosehip Oil. Scientifically proven to help improve skin firmness and elasticity and help reduce the appearance of age spots as well as scars, stretch marks, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone, rosehip oil is the secret to revealing clearer, younger-looking skin.

Pro-tip: Age spots are frequently found on the face and the back of hands because these are the most exposed parts of the body. Keep your chances of getting sun spots slim by shielding your hands and face whenever possible – wear gloves when gardening, or use umbrellas when taking outdoor strolls.

Tip #3: Pamper Your Palms

Your hands go through a lot of stress daily, so don’t let the tough days roughen up those palms! Choose your hand care products carefully by using only safest and gentlest cleansers, such as Human Nature’s triclosan-free Natural Hand Soap and All-Natural Sanitizer, which effectively clean without drying out skin. After a long day’s work, give your hands a deeply moisturizing treat with Human Nature’s Hand & Foot Salve. Infused with 12 nutrients and antioxidants, this salve soothes, rejuvenates and pampers dry, cracked or flaky skin and helps promote healthier-looking skin that feels youthful.

Pro-tip: Keep your fingertips in tip-top shape by rolling on Human Nature’s Orange Heritage Oil on dry cuticles to soften skin overnight.
