Have you ever wondered why the signs of aging are most visible on the face, neck, and hands? Because these are uncovered areas that we expose to the sun all year round. And the weather outside has nothing to do with it. Regardless of whether we're talking about a sunny day or cloudy weather – ultraviolet radiation "attacks" us all year and is responsible for nearly 80% of all signs of skin aging. Its effects are visible on the hands the earliest, as still few people realize that they require sun protection as effective as the face. With the new handy lab. Extreme Hyaluron & SPF 30 hand cream, you can easily protect them from this harmful, aging-accelerating factor.
The latest hand cream from handy lab. features an anti-UV filter with a high sun protection factor – SPF 30. It blocks 97% of ultraviolet radiation, which not only causes burns and skin diseases but also robs hands of their youthful appearance. How?
How does UV radiation affect hand aging?
Solar radiation reaching the Earth consists, among other things, of UVB and UVA rays. We see and feel the former as warm, golden sunbeams that warm us on hot summer days. They stimulate melanin production in the skin and give the body a caramel tone. UVA rays are much more insidious – they cannot be seen with the naked eye, and they can penetrate clouds and windows. They are the ones that primarily cause damage to skin cell DNA, and consequently, intensify collagen breakdown and accelerate aging processes. We often forget that they have an extremely negative impact not only on the face but also on the hands. Whenever you go outside without gloves or when you hold your hands on the steering wheel of a car – in each of these prosaic situations, solar radiation causes irreversible damage.
How to protect your hands from photoaging?
Most of us already know that daily application of sunscreen to the face is a pillar of effective anti-aging care. However, it's high time to extend sun protection to the hands, which often receive even higher doses of harmful radiation than the face. Why? Because we expose them daily and don't cover them, so they are constantly exposed to UVA and UVB rays. While we can apply sunscreen, powder, or foundation with SPF to our face, our hands usually only get a regular moisturizing cream. But that's changing, and innovative hand products are now available on the market that not only nourish them but also protect them from the sun. One such product is the handy lab. Extreme Hyaluron & SPF 30 cream.
The cosmetic offers both anti-UV protection and deep regeneration for dry hands. Its composition includes hyaluronic acid, known for its excellent moisturizing and wrinkle-filling properties, rice and hemp proteins, which repair epidermal damage, vegan lanolin with a smoothing effect, and soothing aloe vera juice. The velvety formula absorbs well, instantly softens the skin of the hands, and reduces unpleasant roughness. Just one application is enough for hands to regain elasticity and smoothness.
To maintain the effectiveness of anti-UV protection throughout the day, it is recommended to reapply the cosmetic every 2-3 hours. It should also be reapplied after washing hands and after every swim.
Extreme Hyaluron & SPF 30 cream comes in a small, handy tube that easily fits in a purse and travel bag. Thanks to its protective and regenerating properties, it will be perfect for both summer holidays and winter mountain getaways. Its unisex formula is also suitable for men.
