I’m always surprised, when I see people applying hand cream, how many of us are doing it wrong.

Hand creams and lotions are great for maintaining youth, especially if they contain SPF too. If you don’t look after them, they can be a real giveaway for your age.

So, next time your slapping the lotion on, don’t just rub it between your palms. Apply it to the backs of your hands in two blobs, then work it up through the fingers. This will moisturise the skin where it needs it most and also strengthen the nails.
