Nothing gives away your age like your hands. Plastic surgeons have yet to venture into the surgery of the hands, but they are using injectable’s to help the back of the hands look younger (eww). They also inject Saline Solution into various areas of the back of hand veins to prevent the blue from showing (double eww).
When you were younger, did you ever hear your mom sigh and say that her hands look like her mother’s? Fast forward and I am beginning to understand that statement.
What causes out hands to age quickly and show their age more than most other parts of our bodies. Simple. The environment, the sun and sun damage, gravity, age (of course) and daily abuse inflicted by us, not to mention neglect, again by us. So basically, our aging hands are self-inflicted to some degree.
There are two reasons why I don’t take long baths anymore. First, back in the day we all read books- you know those things that had real pages that turned. Don’t think I want to read my Kindle over a warm tub of bubbles…. “death by electric shock” would not look good on my tombstone.
Second, prune fingers!
