People most commonly neglect their hands, even though we use them to perform just about every daily task.
For instance, many women spend a fortune on skin care products for their face and treatments for their hair, but they forget to treat their hands.
You should know that our hands are the first areas on our body to show the ravages of time.
The reason why this happens is because the skin on our hands is much thinner than that on our face, which is why is more susceptible to the signs of aging.
Another reason is because there is very little fat on the back of the hands and once collagen and elastin fibers start breaking down, it has a noticeable effect.
Our hands require special care because of the damaging effects of frequent washing and constant exposure to the elements.
