Ageing Hands, Knees, Arms

Aging is a natural process. As you age, your body will go through various changes. Some of the most visible signs of aging usually occur on your skin’s surface, especially on your hands. Many of us take care of the skin on our faces as we age. We often neglect our hands. With age, you may notice several aesthetic changes to the hands. They will change in texture and smoothness, and the skin may become drier and more crepey. You may also notice that veins become more prominent since the skin becomes thinner and they become more noticeable.

The volume in the skin also starts to decrease, making the hands appear bony and frail. In addition, you may notice sun and age spots or pigmentation changes.

Age spotS

Spots called sun spots or liver spots, consist of flat, round blotches on your skin that are brown to black in color. The hands are common places for age spots to develop, as well as your face and chest. While these spots can certainly appear with age, the name is a bit misleading, as these spots are primarily caused by ultraviolet (UV) ray exposure.

Dry, scaly skin

Dry, scaly skin is often seen with age, but it’s not necessarily inevitable. A lack of water and sleep can dry out your skin. Smoking can also make dry skin worse by removing its natural moisture. Poor circulation can also lead to dryness in your skin.

Wrinkles in the skin

Wrinkles develop as a result of collagen loss. These protein-based fibers are more readily available when you’re younger. However, it’s also possible to lose collagen too early.
