Dry wrinkled hands are a sign of aging that is easily remedied with a quick hand spa treatment. The skin covering hands is very thin and the connective tissue covering the bones and muscles of the hands loses its plumpness as we age. As skin on the hands dehydrates and loses moisture skin cells deflate, causing the appearance of wrinkling. A hand spa treatment consisting of a gentle sugar scrub followed with a rich, creamy moisturizer hydrates and "plumps" skin, infusingskin cellswith moisture. This rounds out and fills the skin cells creating a smoother less wrinkled appearance for hands that look younger. Sugar scrubs remove dry dehydrated skin with a gentle polishing actionfor softer, younger looking hands. After exfoliation skin absorbs moisture more effectively and hands look smoother andamazingly soft.
One of the best products torehydrate, soften and protect dry, dehydrated hands is a shea butter moisturizer.
