Brilio.net/en - We many not all be concerned with gaining at the moment. Most of us are young, and well stay young...until one day we wake up with gray hair and kids?
At any rate, its wise to take some precautionary measures to help Father Time go easy on our skin. Gray hair and crow's feet ca are common signs of ageing, but hands are actually a part of the body that loses much of its vitality as the years wear on. As Joan Rivers famously told The Huffington Post: "Believe me, you can hide a lot of things, but the hands always give it away.
Hands are the tools to life - we use them everyday and for everything. They get exposed to the sun and other harsh chemicals, especially in the kitchen and the outdoors and we usually forget to treat our hands right. But weve compiled the most important tips from this hand to keep your hands looking fresh and young a little longer.
And yes, you read that right: hand model.
Adele Uddo is a model, who usually stays out of the picture. Her hands have had quite some fame, and have grasped a Chanel No. 5 perfume bottle, held a Christian Louboutin shoe, revealed a Dior Rouge lipstick and have been stand-ins for those of Penlope Cruz and Katy Perry. Adeles isnt the Everywoman hand, said Jennifer Adjali, the global director of education for Essie nail polish, whose campaigns often feature Ms. Uddo. Its that high-end luxury hand. She can sell diamonds.

While we cant all afford to live like a hand model, i.e always wearing gloves and not doing the dishes, we can take some skin care tips from this pro.
1. Lock in the moisture
Ms. Uddo never fully dries her hands because its better to moisturize something she does about 10 times a day when the skin is still damp. She uses a concoction of coconut and vitamin E oils with shea and jojoba butters that she whips up in her kitchen. Keep the creams on, particularly overnight, and dont be stingy when lathering your digits.
2. Keep the nails healthy
Ms. Uddo swears by a sulfur supplement called Sulfurzyme, which she is convinced makes hair and nails grow thicker and stronger. Keratin, the tough protein thats a huge component of hair and nails, is high in sulfur.
3. Dont forget to Sun/UV Protection
Its never too early to develop the daily habit of applying SPF on your hands. By using a broad-spectrum sunscreen youll cover UVA rays and prevent aging signs like brown spots.And always apply sunscreen if you are getting your nails done and exposing your skin to the UV lamps. Without a doubt sunscreen is one of the most important factors in preventing wrinkles
