Age spots on hands
Age spots are more prevalent in fair skin which is often finer or thinner than darker skin. Skin ageing and sun exposure are the two main causes of age spots and uneven pigmentation. With treatment remedies being developed specifically to help reduce the signs of ageing, it is never too late to start taking care of your hands.
Areas of increased pigmentation, such as freckles, can vary in colour from light tan to black and may appear as isolated spots or cover larger areas. These are often found on skin that has thinned and lost its elasticity, and they are more common in skin that has been overexposed to sunlight.
How to treat age spots on hands
To reduce the appearance of age spots and prevent further development, protect your hands with SPF and regularly use a treatment hand cream to keep skin supple, promote cell renewal, boost circulation, and increase elastin and collagen production. Always wear gloves to shield your hands.
If you’re looking to prevent or treat early signs of age spots and uneven skin tone, it’s essential to protect your hands from excessive sun exposure. Wear gloves when handling detergents and cleaning products, and keep your skin moisturised to encourage cell renewal. Use the Intensive Anti-ageing Hand Serum morning and evening. Rich in soy isoflavones, this serum works to visibly fade and reduce age spots. Suitable for diabetics and during pregnancy.
