Don't let hands give your age away
Plump it up
Crepey skin is another of our top bugbears, according to Dr Bowler. 'The skin on our hands thins by 60-70 per cent over 40-50 years so your bones and veins start to show through,' he says. 'Peeling treatments (chemical potions that exfoliate the backs of the hands); microdermabrasion (a hand piece containing industrial diamonds passes over the skin, while a vacuum gently sucks up any debris); and red light (a strong bright light is shone on the affected area), all help to plump up the skin.'
