Real age giveaway: How to keep hands looking young
You can spend a fortune on fancy face moisturizers and wrinkle-reducing eye-creams, botox yourself into an expressionless oblivion and go through the pain of plastic surgery in order to stay young looking (and I say go for it, if you've got the money and it makes you feel good about yourself), but no matter what you do to keep your face looking young, if you forget to look after your hands as well, they'll be a dead giveaway to your real age.
Sun exposure over the years as well as the natural aging process result in things like dryness, sunspots and bulging veins, which all act as aging agents on your hands. Moisturizers with SPF as well as alpha-hydroxy acids can help prevent and treat thin and dry skin, as well as sun spots. For more ideas on products and treatments -- both cheap and not-so-cheap -- that will help you keep your hands looking as young and fit as the rest of you, check out the information provided here.

here's the best tip: start young!
Don't wait until you have wrinkles and age spots to use age-defying moisturizers daily, start using them long before the appear, like in your early to mid-20s.
It's like they say, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Alpha hydroxy is not the most wonderful thing because it thins the upper layers of the skin, the epidermis. It can also cause irritation of the skin. I prefer something like Enfuselle, which uses antioxidant vitamins and botanicals instead. The hand and body lotion also has vitamin B5 added to strengthen nails. http://www.shaklee.net/good_health/product/32515
