Did you know that your hands can reveal your age?

So while you’ve been making anti-ageing efforts for your face, your hands could be telling a different story. 

Many of us neglect taking care of our hands and use harsh drugstore hand wash that dry out the skin. Hands are left feeling dry, scaly and rough — and over time, start to look haggard.

What’s more, the abrasive formulas in dishwashing liquid make it worse and further irritate sensitive skin.

Start practising anti-ageing for your hands today. Wear gloves when washing dishes and apply a daily SPF on your hands. Use hand wash that doesn’t strip the skin and always use a moisturising hand cream at night.

Below, we’ve rounded up some of the best liquid soaps that will keep your hands youthful and soft.

This set of hand washes comes in two different scents and doubles as a gentle body wash. Keep one handy at the kitchen sink for a gentle rinse after using harsh dishwashing liquids.

For extra TLC: Apply a rich hand cream like the Jack Black Industrial Strength Hand Healer to provide relief to calloused, dry hands.
