But what about your hands?

“Your hands are often dead giveaways of your true age,” says renowned dermatologist, Natalie M. Curcio, MD, MPH, MMHC (Nashville, TN). “They have certainly weathered the storms as we forget to slather sunscreen on them the way we do on our face and body, increasing the risk of photoaging, wrinkles, and brown or black sunspots."

Plus, like other body parts, your hands lose volume, fat, and elasticity as you age, revealing prominent veins, sun damage, and unwanted pigmentation, says Dr. Curcio.

After close to three years of life in a pandemic, aggressive and vigorous handwashing and the use of antibacterial hand sanitizers have also taken their toll on our hands, leaving them raw and cracked, says Dr. Curcio.

It’s not too late to turn back the hands of time. “Regular application of DefenAge’s 10 Luxe Hand & Body Cream can make a big difference in the texture and tone of your dorsal hands.”

“This defensin-rich moisturizer improves the appearance of crepey skin and boosts natural moisture retention so your skin looks plumper instantly,” says Dr. Curcio. “It also boosts the skin’s natural hyaluronic acid, laminin, and elastin stores and helps to reverse signs of skin aging and sun damage.”

DefenAge’s 10 Luxe Hand & Body Cream also can help maximize results after dermal filler injections to restore volume to aging hands and/or laser skin resurfacing to fade age spots and boost collagen and elastin under the skin's surface.

Defensin molecules can wake up “young and healthy” cells, so they start making fresh skin.

“It is also rich in niacinamide, which fades dark spots and brightens dull skin along with soothing Sea Whip and other moisturizing ingredients,” says Dr. Curcio.
