Shea For Your Hands

"Hands not only are susceptible to the first signs of aging, but very often age even faster than the face," says Ellen Marmur, MD, chief of dermatological and cosmetic surgery at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City. That's because the skin on the back of the hand is much thinner than that on your face.

"There is very little fat on the backs of the hands, so when even a small amount of collagen or elastin fibers begins to break down -- which is part of the normal aging process and partly from sun exposure -- it's going to have a noticeable impact on your hands," says Gregory Buford, MD, a Denver plastic surgeon.

The end result, say experts, is wrinkly, crinkly crepe-like skin texture and the noticeable appearance of bulging veins, which also grow larger over time.

"Depending on how much sun exposure you had as a child and young adult, aging also brings out brown spots, known as liver spots -- pigmentation problems that give away your age," says dermatologist David Goldberg, MD, director of Skin Laser & Surgery Specialists of New York and New Jersey.( Source: Webmd)
