Question*
What can I do about my hands? They are dry and full of dark spots, and wrinkly where my skin is loose. My mother always used to say “Look at the neck and the hands of a women and you can tell their true age”! With this in mind, my hands look about 20 years older than I am!

Answer
Ginette, your mother is right. It is often said that even if a woman has a youthful face, her hands and neck can give away her age.
As we age the skin becomes thinner, losing fat and elasticity. Exposure to the sun, detergents and water also take their toll, showing up as age spots and dry, loose, flaccid skin.
All this to betray our age!
However, with all the technical advances in our industry we can now do a lot to reverse this condition.
A warm Paraffin Wax Mask will do wonders to immediately address the problem of dryness, and the added bonus is that it is deeply relaxing and soothing. It also appears to plump the skin, making wrinkles and loose skin appear firmer. However, a cosmetic doctor can also recommend his/her preferred Dermal Filler, which is amazing for giving instant volume to slack, loose skin. IPL Photo Rejuvenation is the best way to tackle age spots on the hands. The results are quite dramatic. Also try red L.E.D. light technology which works with the body’s own natural processes to counteract the effects of ageing by increasing collagen production. N.B. Always remember to put sunscreen on your hands every day.
