How to limit the signs of aging on the hands: routine and tips

Our hands are constantly exposed to aggressive external factors for the skin such as UV rays, pollution, smoke, as well as frequent use of detergents for cleaning the body or the home. Over time, the skin on the hands begins to show signs of aging including wrinkles, dryness, and noticeable skin discoloration that can compromise the beauty of the hands. 

To keep them young and soft, it is essential to follow a targeted care routine, much like we already do for the skin on our face, which includes specific and moisturizing products as well as antioxidant active ingredients capable of delaying and limiting the signs of aging on the hands. 

In a certain sense, our hands are our business card, always exposed and in constant motion, made to caress and hold hands with the people we love, which is why it is necessary to take care of them: let's see how to do it. 

Why do hands age prematurely?

The skin on the hands is generally thin and contains fewer sebaceous glands compared to other parts of the body, which makes it more susceptible to dryness and loss of elasticity.

Furthermore, external agents such as frequent washing and the use of aggressive chemical products like alcohol-based sanitizers further exacerbate this situation, making the skin on the hands even more prone to premature aging. As a result, the hands may appear older than the rest of the body, showing early signs of wrinkles, dryness, and sunspots. 

Tips to prevent and combat the aging of the skin on the hands

Hydration is the key to keeping the skin elastic and youthful. Choosing creams rich in emollient active ingredients like shea butter and argan oil can make a big difference: these ingredients help retain moisture and deeply nourish the skin. 

We will never tire of repeating it: the sun is the main culprit of premature aging. Applying a cream with SPF on your hands even in winter can help significantly reduce the appearance of dark spots and signs. These habits, combined with a light exfoliation once or twice a week, help stimulate cell renewal and improve the overall appearance of the skin, making it softer and more radiant. 

Another useful tip is to follow a diet rich in antioxidant foods containing vitamins C and E found in large quantities in fruits and vegetables. Vitamins allow us to support collagen production and at the same time fight free radicals, the main culprits of oxidation and skin aging. 

One of the most critical steps in hand care is choosing the right cleanser. Many traditional soaps can dry out and irritate the skin, stripping away the natural oils that protect it. Choosing a moisturizing soap formulated with natural and beneficial ingredients helps keep the skin healthy, soft, and protected from the signs of aging. 

According to recent studies, the use of soaps with moisturizing and emollient properties not only protects the skin from daily damage but can also improve its elasticity and texture in the long term. Natural ingredients, such as essential oils and plant extracts, are particularly effective in nourishing the skin without causing irritation. A moisturizing soap enriched with anti-aging components helps to prevent moisture loss and strengthen the skin barrier, keeping hands smooth and velvety even with frequent use.

The science of well-being with Relax Hand Wash 

In addition to a careful care routine, it is essential to choose the right product for daily cleansing. Relax Hand Wash from the Essentia Spa line is a perfect example of how science and well-being can come together in a hand product.

Natural and organic soaps like Relax Hand Wash offer several benefits for sensitive skin, including:

- Delicacy on the skin: the use of natural ingredients reduces the likelihood of allergic reactions and irritations, making them ideal for those with sensitive skin.

- Skin barrier protection: soaps with natural ingredients help preserve the skin's natural oils, maintaining moisture balance and preventing dryness.

- Anti-aging effect: the combination of moisturizing and antioxidant ingredients, such as grape seed oil and plant extracts, helps to fight free radicals and keep the skin youthful.

A good moisturizing soap is essential for keeping hands not only clean but also soft and nourished. Ingredients such as oat extract and natural vitamins help provide a soothing action that supports skin health over time.

Relax Hand Wash offers a gentle cleansing thanks to its foaming gel texture enriched with precious oils and active ingredients. Formulated with hazelnut oil and grape seed oil, it intensely nourishes the skin, keeping it elastic and well-hydrated. The calendula extract and chamomile have a soothing action, while the red vine extract helps to combat discoloration and improve skin elasticity.

But the real secret of Relax Hand Wash is the extract of Tephrosia Purpurea, an active ingredient in neurocosmetics that reduces cortisol production by up to 70%, the stress hormone. In just a few hours, the skin appears more relaxed and smooth, thanks to the stimulation of beta-endorphins, with an increase of 163%, providing a deep sense of well-being.
