How to keep our hands youthful

Why do I need a skincare routine for my hands?

The skin on our hands is very thin and delicate, making them more prone to environmental damage and premature aging. Incorporating anti-aging products into your hand skincare routine can help minimize the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots, keeping your hands soft, rejuvenated, and youthful.

Why hands age faster:

• Thinner skin + less oil production

• Frequent washing/sanitizer: Strips lipids and disrupts the barrier.

• UV exposure all year: Triggers pigment and collagen breakdown, even when indoors and through car windows.

The Hand Skincare Ritual:

Repair and protect your hands by using a nourishing hand lotion and sunscreen.

Exfoliate: Lightly exfoliating helps maintain smooth, soft hands, fights off hyperpigmentation for more even-toned skin, and boosts skin cell turnover for youthful hands.

"Glymed+'s Body Scrub with AHA's has an energizing formula infused with ultra-fine jojoba beads and AHA's that work together to remove dry skin from elbows, knees, legs, and feet. A blend of Glycolic, Lactic, and Malic Acids stimulates cellular turnover, resulting in smoother, radiant hands and skin. Glymed+'s Medical Grade Refining Body Scrub produces visibly smoother skin after one use, this scrub will also prevent ingrown hairs and razor bumps.

Hand Cream: Using a high-quality hand cream when our hands feel dry and dehydrated will help prevent moisture loss, which can lead to fine lines and reduce future signs of aging.

Tip: Keep a rich hand cream by your nightstand to massage into your hands and cuticles for a deep, nourishing nighttime hand treatment.

"Opt for a moisturizing cream that contains a gentle exfoliant. This way, you can get some moisture and nourishment to the skin, along with a bit of exfoliation that will eliminate a build-up of dry skin cells, further helping to smooth and soften the hands"

Glymed+’s AHA Refining Hand and Body Cream is a medical grade, smoothing, nourishing triple AHA lotion that uses mild chemical exfoliants to speed cellular turnover while nourishing and moisturizing. Glycolic, Lactic, and Malic acids work beyond the skin's surface to chemically exfoliate and renew the skin, diminishing age spots and hyperpigmentation on your hands and body, resulting in smoother, even-toned skin.

Karuna's Hydrating Hand Masks are great to use weekly to maintain beautiful, youthful hands.

SPF: Our hands receive a lot of sun exposure, especially when we are out driving.

Tip: Keep a broad-spectrum sunscreen in your bag so you’ll be reminded to reapply. If you wanted to go the extra mile, wear driving gloves during long distance drives while the sun is out for added sun protection.

Glymed+'s Oil-Free Protective Moisturizing Sunscreen SPF50PA++ helps to keep skin protected and hydrated at the same time. Our lightweight oil-free formula contains broad-spectrum sunscreens to protect against UVA & UVB rays without leaving your hands heavy or greasy. Daily application is recommended to protect the skin from damaging free radicals while providing essential moisture to prevent premature aging.

Hand Masks: Hand masks are a great way to quickly nourish and soften your hands and cuticles. Karuna Hydrating Hand Masks will will quickly lock in moisture, protect, hydrate, and soften with Peptides, Centella, and Shea Butter.
