The hands often show age before people expect them to, sometimes looking older than the face. Thinning skin, lost volume and pigmentation combine to make veins and tendons more prominent, and it is an area that is easy to overlook but very treatable.
Why hands age
Hands lose the soft padding beneath the skin over time, and years of sun exposure add pigmentation and thin the skin. Because they are so exposed and used constantly, the signs can appear earlier here than elsewhere.
What can help
Restoring a little volume can soften the appearance of prominent veins and tendons, while skin-quality treatments and sun protection help tone and pigmentation. As always, an assessment first means the plan suits your hands rather than following a template.
