Hide Your Age, Not Your Hands

There is absolutely nothing wrong with aging, and it’s happening every day to all of us. We can do it gracefully though. But other delicate parts of our bodies need attention too, besides just your face! 

In case you have been living under a rock (or worse... laying out on one!), the sun is by far the number one cause of aging prematurely. Simply put, UV rays cause oxidative damage – this means bye-bye to healthy cells. It’s easy to limit excess sun by wearing a hat, coverup, and by avoiding 10am-2pm sun (when rays are highest). But it is even easier to wear sunscreen! 

“Most of us don’t realize our hands have taken a beating from sun exposure until after it’s too late — so much damage has already been done. The skin on the backs of our hands gets many hours of UV rays each year and, cumulatively, that leaves us with hyperpigmentation spots and thin, crepey/wrinkled skin — AKA hands that look aged beyond their years. Luckily, no matter your age or how much damage has already been done, applying your favorite SPF daily (and keeping a spare in your bag) can get you on the right path to healthier-looking hands.

Also, the eye area is so vulnerable to the sun and adding Supergoop’s Bright Eyed to my SPF collection makes me feel extra protected, not only against hyperpigmentation but on the anti-aging front as well. Not to mention, the finish gives a beautiful highlight to the under eye and brow bone. Hats and sunglasses are a must as well to help keep crows feet away. Not even botox can fix crows feet, you NEED to protect those delicate areas.” – Cassie
