Unfortunately, the hands are one of the first parts of our body to show signs of aging. They’re also one of the first things people notice about you. While we take good care of our face with retinol, serums and masks, the skin on our hands is rarely afforded the same attention and care. If you’ve noticed wrinkles and age spots taking over your hands, or you want to get ahead of aging, try these hand products that help turn the clock back on aging hands.
The best anti-aging products for mature hands

This cushiony treatment is like an overnight repair mask for your hands. Your hands will spend their beauty sleep drenched in retinol, colloidal oatmeal and panthenol. Not to mention, the airless pump is a gorgeous addition to any bedside table. It’s the perfect last step in your nighttime routine.
Tenoverten The Age-Defying Serum ($20)
Plumping, firming and protecting is the mission of this serum. It combats signs of aging using nature-based skin-smoothing ingredients like flaxseed extract and a linseed-derived blend. The star of the show is squalane, which reduces the appearance of wrinkles by 51 percent.

Nécessaire The Hand Retinol ($35)
Nécessaire’s full-body retinol is a fan favorite, so it’s no surprise this hand-specific formula from them is amazing as well.
