Your anti-aging beauty routine likely already includes a facial moisturizer, a smoothing eye cream, and maybe even an anti-aging serum. But there's another key player missing from this list: anti-aging hand cream. Because the skin in these areas is thinner and more elastic, it tends to show age faster than other parts of the body, including the face.
Fortunately, modern anti-aging hand creams work quite effectively - they help eliminate any signs of aging (including wrinkles and dark spots) and prevent further damage.
We have collected the best anti-aging hand creams that will give your delicate skin optimal moisture and nourish it with all the necessary anti-age ingredients.
Cold Cream Concentrated Hand Cream by Eau Thermale Avène
“For an anti-aging hand cream to truly penetrate the skin and deliver its valuable ingredients, you should apply it right before bed,” says Dr. Sonia Batra, board-certified dermatologist at The Doctors. This product with a cooling effect, intended for very dry and damaged skin, is quickly absorbed and perfectly smoothes wrinkles. Since the formula is developed without fragrances, dyes and aggressive substances, the product is also suitable for sensitive skin.
Cost – approx. 300 UAH
Gloves in the household as an element of hand care
Gloves must be properly selected in size and suitable for their tasks. The best option is to have several gloves for different jobs.
There are gloves:
- Cotton based. Suitable for dry work only.
- Rubber with talc. Talcum powder can dry out the skin, but at the same time it makes gloves easier to put on. Not always convenient, but quite durable, suitable for “large-scale” work that does not require high finger sensitivity, for example, for washing windows.
- Made of latex. They deteriorate quickly, but they are light and thin, fit the hand well, and are suitable, for example, for washing dishes.

Massage and gymnastics
To improve the condition of the skin on the hands of a 60-year-old woman, it is necessary to improve blood circulation. By improving microcirculation of blood through the vessels, the elasticity of the epidermis increases, regenerative processes improve, and tone appears.
To enhance microcirculation of blood to the hands and preserve their youth and beauty, it is necessary to regularly do massage and special gymnastics.
Massage options:
- Quickly rub your hands together until slightly red, increasing blood circulation.
- Grasp the finger of one hand with the thumb and index finger of the other hand and perform twisting movements (as if thoroughly washing your finger).
- Massage your hands with a special glove with a rough surface, a special massager, or a hard washcloth.
- The massage should be completed with light and soft strokes over the entire surface of the palm and hand.
Movements during the massage should be strong and noticeable. However, if you have joint problems, inflammatory or dermatological diseases, massage is prohibited without prior permission from a doctor.
Rejuvenating hand gymnastics consists of a set of exercises:
- Raise your hands above your head and shake slightly until you feel a slight tingling sensation and warmth in your hands.
- Springy movements to the sides.
- Shaking hands at chest level.
- Clenching and unclenching fists.
- Place your palms together at chest level and press lightly on your palms until you feel them stop. This exercise improves blood microcirculation, intercellular metabolism, and also strengthens the chest muscles.
- After completing the gymnastic complex, you need to lower your hands down and shake them slightly, as if shaking off water.
You can perform gymnastic exercises at any time. However, performing them before bed with further application of a nourishing cream promotes faster restoration of elasticity, production of collagen in cells, and strengthening of regenerative processes.

This moisturizing cream-gel with hyaluronic acid is just such an option. It saturates the skin with a hefty dose of moisture, which helps keep it toned, making hands elastic, soft and moisturized.

How to prolong youthful skin
Of course, it is impossible to completely stop biological processes - sooner or later nature will take its toll. However, you can significantly delay this process by introducing a few simple rules into the habit:
- use cream with SPF . A special filter included in the creams directly reduces the impact of ultraviolet radiation on the skin. The product must be applied to the back of the hand. Do not neglect this advice in the winter season - ultraviolet radiation does not cease to be emitted, its concentration simply decreases. It is recommended to use products with SPF if the UV index is above 2 points. You can view the current index in your region on the hydrometeorological center website meteoinfo.ru/uvi;
- use gloves . This rule applies to both going outside and cleaning the house. It is also recommended to wear gloves when driving on sunny days. For this purpose there are special driving gloves with open fingers;
- use creams rich in protein at night, and also containing hyaluronic acid, essential oils of plants - shea, coconut, tea tree, as well as lightening components, such as lemon extract;
- Once a week, apply nourishing cream and put on cosmetic cotton gloves over it . Just an hour of this spa treatment helps saturate the skin with additional moisture.
Anti-Aging Hand Cream by Retinol
This vitamin-enriched formula is a real lifesaver when it comes to wrinkles and dry hands. Retinoids in the product are those ingredients that help activate the production of new collagen, thicken the skin and smooth the surface, restoring its radiance and well-groomed appearance.

Cost – approx. 450 UAH
Mattifying toner for the face against “blackheads” from “Green Mama”
Probably the most budget-friendly remedy for getting rid of “blackheads”, which at its low price gives the maximum effect. The only condition for obtaining the desired result is its regular use: morning and night. The tonic has a fairly pleasant smell and gives the skin a feeling of freshness and cleanliness.
A very gentle daily scrub, despite the presence of small scrubbing particles. Does not dry or irritate the skin. Fights inflammation and pollution. Cleanses gently. “Black dots” really “pulls out”. Among other things, it refreshes and mattifies the skin. Ideal as a daily cleanser. Of the minuses: it does not cope with the narrowing of pores.
Whitens the skin and acts as a mild peeling. The gel mask also has a drying effect and is suitable for combating acne. Its action is very effective: it expands pores and removes impurities. “Black dots” will begin to disappear after the 3rd application. If you have combination or oily skin, then you should give preference to this mask. Although it is also not contraindicated for girls with sensitive and dry skin. Of the minuses: it does not narrow pores.

So, our focus is on organic anti-aging cosmetics. Reviews from cosmetologists indicate that it naturally has a high degree of affinity with the epidermis, which ultimately determines its effectiveness. A precious cocktail of natural oils, a moisturizing cream enriched with plant water, a plant-based lifting serum and a mask based on natural (!
) hyaluronic acid - this is your main arsenal in the fight for youthful skin. Formulas based on antioxidant plants are presented in the line of anti-age products of many European organic brands sold in Russia, for example, the French La Beauté Naturelle. Complete care for skin that is under the influence of time will be provided by the same anti-aging cosmetics with “rejuvenating apples” from the gardens of Normandy, produced by the Pomone Paris brand. This cosmetics can also be found without leaving Russia - right here.
Let us emphasize once again: it is possible and even necessary to fight skin aging, and for this there is a huge arsenal of means, and each has its own strictly specific area of application. So what should you pay special attention to, what should you fight against?
Anti-aging cosmetics Pomone Paris
1) loss of moisture-retaining properties of the skin.
This is where hyaluronic acid comes to the rescue, capable of attracting moisture and retaining it in the epidermis. These products can be started to be used at the first signs of dry skin, at what age - purely individually. Among products containing hyaluronic acid, we recommend organic restorative care - a unique cosmetic product for the cold season, as well as for skin with special needs.

2) negative environmental influences that cause the formation of free radicals. You can read more about this here.
What to use: Antioxidants, such as isoquercecin. The entire Pomone Paris product line is based on the isoquercetin formula. Our recommendation is the day-night rejuvenating face cream from the Munificence line, which the Pomone Paris brand cleverly came up with for permanent use. There are also no strict age recommendations here - it all depends on the state of the environment in the place where you live, but in most cases it is recommended to start using such products at the age of 25-28.
In this group of factors, we especially emphasize ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which causes a well-known result - tanning. The recipe is the preventive use of sunscreens and gels, as well as after-sun care products, from a very early age.
3) lifestyle. Yes, the more we drive ourselves into a state of stress, the more we overload ourselves with unnecessary problems, the further we move away from the cherished ideal of beauty. Poor nutrition, bad habits - all this sooner or later affects the face, and, unfortunately, the prevention of premature aging for this reason goes far beyond cosmetics.
