If you had access, what would you ask?

if you had two of the most renowned skincare experts cornered at a party, what would you ask them?How about What’s the best way to deal with age spots—and keep hands from showing the signs of aging? Luckily, I do have access to Dr. Katie Rodan and Dr. Kathy Fields, and here’s what they recommend:

Hands are often the first body parts to give away our age with brown spots, thin, crepey skin, wrinkles and dryness. While we go to great efforts to stave off the signs of aging on our faces and necks, we often ignore those hard-working appendages that take a regular beating from the environment and daily abuse…with little TLC to show in return.

Defend your hands against the harsh elements with a good moisturizing sunscreen that you apply frequently throughout the day, particularly after you wash your hands. Many of the same treatments that you use on your face to diminish the appearance of discoloration and age spots can also work wonders on your hands.

We suggest keeping your anti-aging hand products at the office and in your purse or car, so you can make hand care a lasting habit with long-term results. Hands down, nothing replaces good old-fashioned prevention.
