10 Tips to Prevent Hands and Feet from Ageing

Everyone intends to look younger than their actual age and to do that we indulge
in a lot of beauty treatments,facials etc but we ignore that fact that as much as
our facial skin and neck is prone to ageing so is our hands and feet.Since our
hands and feet are exposed to much work and pressure they show visible
signs of ageing and tend to age faster than face.

The skin on our hands and feet is quite thin when compared to rest of our body
and when a small amount of collagen or elastin fibre which constitutes our skin
breaks due to normal ageing process or due to environmental pollution and
harmful UV rays,the skin around that area looks wrinkly with bulging veins
evidently visible.Another reason being that the skin around our hands and feet
have few oil glands,so they secrete less natural oil which keeps skin less
nourished and hydrated making it susceptible to ageing.

In this article we would talk about various natural tips to prevent your hands
and feet from ageing faster.
