Ageing hands

[crapmemory]

I mostly look ok for my age but my hands have prominent veins and are beginning to look wrinkly!!! Any suggestions on how to improve the look of them without resorting to surgery?

I was having the same worry - keep using Soap & Glory hand food, keep it on my desk and by the sink and am seeing an improvement. Suppose its just finding the right cream for you but taking the time to keep backs of hands moisturised. You also get gloves that you can use going to bed. Remember to use sunscreen on them too.

Glad it's not just me then! I have been using Dove anti-ageing hand cream but I don't think I can do anything abouth the veins. I suppose I could wear gloves permanently....

I am 86,and have great looking hands(with a FEW wrinkles!) and my wife and I swear by Evening Primrose Cream,a bog standard one from Boots is fine,don't go mad on the expensive ones!
It won't get rid of the wrinkles completely BUT because it has a great softening effect on the skin, when you move your hands etc,the wrinkles don't "bunch up" and look apparent.
It also "bleaches" out any of those annoyuing liver spots too.
If you stick to one of the cheap Evening Primrose creams and it happens NOT to work for you,then you haven't lost anything.
Give it a try,it can't hurt.

Thank you all for your replies. Might have to resort to the gloves as I can't find a solution for the vein "thing"!!!

You could try having Fillers injected, like Juvederm, Perlane or Restylane. It's not permanent and will only last up to 9 months, costing around £360, but pretty effective.

Please don't laugh (well not too much). I have always liked my hands as I have long slim fingers but I found this problem as I got older. I wear cotton gloves from Avon in bed with hand cream and this seems to have improved them. I also massage each hand every day.
