I’m 47 but have found a £4 product that makes a massive difference to my ageing hands – it smells incredible too
MANY people focus on their facial products when it comes to their skincare regime, but you shouldn’t forget to take care of your hands too.
One 47-year-old has raved about a high street hand cream which has made a massive difference to her ageing hands.
The woman raved about Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Visibly Renew Hand Cream, which you can pick up from Boots and Superdrug.
And the best news is you don’t need to spend a fortune – as the cream currently costs just £3.87 from Boots.
The woman left a five-star review on the product, which contains SPF 20, and wrote: “I’m 47…this works a treat.
“The backs of my hands are starting to look aged.
“I use this a couple of times per day and it has made a huge positive difference.
“I think I now have the perfect hand cream to see me through the UK winter.”
Another satisfied customer read: “This is the best hand cream I have ever used and I have been using it for at least 3 years.”
Meanwhile one added: “Neutrogena products never fail to impress me. I like this hand cream because there’s no stickiness when on.
“It absorbs very well and has the added protection of sunscreen for the summer.”
The description read: “This Norwegian Formula Intense Repair Hand Cream is clinically proven to immediately relieve, repair & protect extremely dry & itchy hands for long lasting care.
“Its highly concentrated formula, containing 45 per cent naturally-derived moisturising Glycerin and soothing Panthenol, intensely nourishes and helps to lock in the moisture.”
The recommended use is to apply it daily to “dry and itchy hands”, and to squeeze it onto your hands, rub hands together and massage until it is absorbed.
We previously shared an affordable buy that other shoppers claim reduces wrinkles in record time.
Described as being ideal for fighting the signs of aging, Skincare Cosmetics Retinol Anti-Aging Hand Cream offers a “three-in-one treatment.”
Thousands of fans were raving about the results of the hand repair buy.
“I’m in my mid-40s and have been using this product for two weeks now. I am thrilled with the results I see so far!” wrote one shopper.
“In less than a minute they will feel soft and not greasy at all.”
She explained the changes she noticed in just the first week of use.
“You can clearly see a difference in discoloration and wrinkles,” she said.
“I’ve tried more expensive hand creams before without any results, so you can’t beat this price or these results.”
The importance of sun cream in your skincare routine
Dermatologist and skincare enthusiast Andrea Suarez - known as Dr Dray - revealed why you should wear suncream.
The one thing you can do that will make the biggest difference – and this matters for all ages – is protecting your skin from the sun, Andrea stressed.
“The vast majority of external aging is due to exposure to ultraviolet radiation,” she continued, not because you’re “not using some jazzy serum or layering 90 different things on your face everyday”.
“If you’re not doing in your 20s, get on that now.”
But she said the use of sun cream alone doesn’t go far enough. Andrea urged that you also wear sun-protective clothing like broad-brimmed hats and long sleeves, on top of not staying out too long in the sun.
Doing this over your lifetime – and all year, not just during the summer or on sunny days – “will reduce the visible signs of photoageing”, Andrea said.
Those are wrinkles, muddled pigmentation and sagging skin.
