A Wren Says

You look down at your hands, and ooo jump scare. Your facial skincare routine has people believing you are years younger, but your hands are telling all your secrets. So, you look at the new trend of anti-aging hand creams and see a glimmer of hope. The retinol that helps smooth the wrinkles on your brow and under your eyes could surely revitalize your hands. And that very well may be true, but please remember this one thing.

You know how retinol can increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun? Don’t think for a minute that your hands would be immune to those effects. If you choose to incorporate retinol into your hand care routine, please also incorporate a hand cream that contains SPF. Keep one in your bag and reapply after washing your hands and definitely before you head outside. Don’t skip this step, or you might risk all your retinol routine doing more damage in the end.
