Keeping your hands constantly moisturized will surely give you that younger look that you so long to have. You should even do it immediately after taking a shower or after you wash your hands. This is because the moisturizer helps your hands trap moisture and giving you fairer hands.

In case you have no idea what to buy, you could try making your own mixture at home. Two thirds a cup of rosewater and a third cup of glycerin are a great mixture for moisturizer. Once it is ready, give it a good shake and store in a cool dry place to use as desired.

• Sunscreen

It is a fact that the skin on your hands is as thin as that of the face. Therefore, it is likely to show photo damage as well as tan in case it is exposed to the sun just as the face would.

• Exfoliation

Dermatologists say it is helpful to exfoliate the skin for a fairer look. This is removing dead skin from your feet and hands. You can successfully scrub your hands using salt and lemons.
