I tend to obsess over lines and wrinkles on my face, but my hands are an area I often overlook. I do occasionally get a manicure, or slather on some cream (when I remember to), but for the most part, I barely give my hands much thought.

My perception of my hands changed a couple of weeks ago. They appeared to be paper-dry, wrinkly, veiny and were splattered with spots. And while my face may not show my age, my hands clearly give it away. So, I made it a point to give my hands a little TLC. Here's what really works for me:   Why Do Your Hands Show Their Age? Sun damage is one of the biggest culprits for aging hands. So, as a rule of thumb, I like to keep the following motto in mind: 'More time in the shade means less skin damage as you age'. I also abide by a new golden rule: 'Treat your hands as you would your face' - moisturizing frequently, using sunscreen and minimizing exposure to the elements to help keep my hands looking young. But, there's more...   1. Give Yourself a Hand Massage A hand massage isn't just relaxing - it increases blood flow, tightening up sagging skin. Once a week, shake out your hands for one minute, loosening them up, then add three to four drops of olive oil to your left palm. In small circular movements with medium pressure, work your right thumb over your palm, and up and down each finger. Then, turn your hand over and repeat the process, following the same techniques on your right hand. Olive oil will keep your skin hydrated, smooth and supple.   2. Moisturize Daily For the best results, opt for an anti-aging hand cream with brightening ingredients. Look out for moisturizers with ingredients such as kojic acid, mushroom extract, vitamin C and licorice to help clear any dark spots you may have. A moisturizer should be used twice a day and within two to three months, you'll notice a difference in the way your hands look.  3. Exfoliate  Once a week, exfoliate your hands with a homemade scrub. Preparing it is easy. Just combine equal parts sugar and olive oil and massage it into your hands. When done, wipe the scrub off with a towel, and if your hands feel greasy, wash them.     4. Protect your Hands  Keep your hands out of the sun by wearing sunscreen on a daily basis. UV rays cause skin-plumping proteins like collagen and elastin to break down quickly. Whenever possible, wear gloves to help protect your hands not only from the sun, but other weather elements too.  5. Cover Up with Makeup  To instantly camouflage fine lines and age spots, add a drop of liquid foundation to a dollop of hand cream, rubbing it all over the top of your hands. This makeup trick will also help to even out your skin tone and smooth the look of wrinkles.   6. Care for Your Nails  For better-looking hands, your nails need some attention too. Start off by applying some cuticle oil every day (even over a manicure) to help maintain stronger nails. Periodically, give your nails a break from polish, giving them at least a few days to recover. To further protect your nails, wear gloves when doing the dishes, as harsh soap and hot water may make them weak.

7 Natural Ways to Firm Sagging Skin

Sagging skin is a natural process on your face as you grow older. It is more evident under the jaw and below the eyes. Wailing over sagging skin will never help. It takes a little caution and a few tricks to make up for the loss of elastin and collagen from your skin.

There are quite a few remedies that you can perform at home to regain your natural skin texture. Get rid of that sagging skin and make yourself look younger with these simple home remedies to the rescue.

1) Egg white mask

Egg white coupled with thyme oil as a mask is one of the most effective remedies for skin sagging and wrinkles. Egg white stimulates the production of collagen and thyme oil helps to rehydrate your skin. This combo helps you to tighten your loose skin in the most effective way.

2) Banana face pack
A face pack made of one mashed ripe banana, one tablespoon of honey and one teaspoon of olive oil helps to firm sagged skin and delivers an instant glow. It also helps to lock in the moisture that helps to lift sagged skin and regulate sebum production.

3) Paste of turmeric and water

Make a paste of turmeric with water and mask it over your face evenly. Allow to dry for 15 minutes and wash off with cold water. This remedy is effective when worked on a weekly basis and ensures that your skin regains its elasticity.

4) Mask of strawberry and yoghurt

Crush a few strawberries, add yogurt to make a paste and apply it to your face. Retain the mask for a few minutes and wash. This mix acts as a toner and helps to tighten sagging skin. It improves blood circulation and imparts a new and fresh look to your face.

5)Tomato juice

Squeeze out fresh tomato juice and apply on the skin surface and twirl in gentle upper circular motion. Perform this for about five minutes and then wash off with cold water. Constant application of tomato juice will help you tighten the sagging skin while ensuring reduction in pores and making your skin look bright.

6) Sandalwood mask

Pure sandalwood paste exfoliates your skin and tightens sagging skin, while delivering a natural glowing look. Sandalwood is one of the most amazing natural treatments that helps to do away with acne, dry spots, oily skin, sweat, and more. Instead of purchasing the powder, it is advised that you rub the stick against a solid mortar or a rough surface with water to make a paste of sandalwood.

7) Normal skin exfoliation

Relax in a long hot bath with sea salt. It helps in skin firming and improves your overall skin tone. Perform this for a week to get rid of your sagging skin, perk up your muscles, and restore youthful looks as before.
