As you get older, you may notice that your hands don’t look as soft or smooth as they did when you were young. During the natural aging process, it’s normal for the skin on your hands to look less firm and to develop wrinkles, sun spots, or prominent veins.
While aging hands are a beautiful testament to a life well-lived, it’s still important to take care of your hands so they feel soft and comfortable. With age, it’s more critical than ever to moisturize your skin to prevent dryness and cracking, and you may also want to revitalize your skin for a more youthful look.
At Camille Beckman, we offer three main products that can nourish and rejuvenate aging hands and skin. These products are made with natural, whole ingredients that are good for your hands and body.
Here’s what you need to know about the best hand creams and body care for aging hands.
Three Ways To Keep Hands Hydrated & Youthful
Our family-owned and operated business began when our founder wanted a way to nourish her hands using natural ingredients. Since then, we’ve developed three core products that can restore your skin and protect it from dryness, cracking, and damage.
For aging hands, we recommend trying our best-selling Glycerine Hand Therapy, along with our Silky Body Cream and Hand & Shower Cleansing Gel.
Glycerine Hand Therapy
Our trademark Glycerine Hand Therapy contains an effective family-made formula that’s filled with herbal complexes to deeply moisturize and restore your skin. With ingredients like sweet almond oil and food-grade glycerine, this hand cream is effective at keeping your skin youthful and soft.
Glycerine Hand Therapy comes in various sizes, packages, and fragrances, so you can find the style and scent that suits you best!
We recommend using this product daily to see the best results. You can even use it multiple times throughout the day whenever your hands feel dry.
Silky Body Cream
Our Silky Body Cream works together with Glycerine Hand Therapy to provide softer, hydrated skin. This moisturizer is rich enough to deeply nourish but light enough for use on the entire body.
With a sweet almond oil base and other enriching ingredients like cucumber, our Silky Body Cream restores skin without a greasy feeling. You can choose from many different scents, including a fragrance-free option.
We also recommend using this product whenever our skin feels dry throughout the day.
Hand & Shower Cleansing Gel
Lotion and cream products restore dry skin, but nourished, youthful-looking hands also need a boost during the cleansing process.
With our Hand & Shower Cleansing Gel, your hands and body are nourished while you wash, leaving your skin clean and moisturized. For an added boost of luxury, we also have luxuriously scented natural Bubble Bath.
With natural oils and herbal complexes, you can use our cleansing in your bathroom, kitchen, or shower.
Daily Routine For Healthy, Moisturized Hands
When you want to care for your hands and skin, a daily routine can provide nourishment and hydration, which can lead to firmer, younger-looking hands.
Often, the best way to see results is through consistent application using a daily routine. You’ll see increased moisturization and softer hands right away, but long-term use of our products can also lead to firmer, healthier skin.
We recommend the following routine to help aging hands:
Suggested Daily Routine
- Bath or shower with Hand & Shower Cleansing Gel: Start your day with our Hand & Shower Cleansing Gel. It’s great for use on your body and hands as it cleans without drying. You can also try out our Glycerine Bar Soap options for daily hand washing.
- Apply Silky Body Cream after shower or bath: After washing, you can use our non-greasy Silky Body Cream on your body for lasting hydration.
- Use Glycerine Hand Therapy throughout the day: Focus on your hands by using our Glycerine Hand Therapy at the start of the day and any other time you need extra moisture.
- Wash hands with Hand & Shower Cleansing Gel: As you go throughout your day, use our cleansing gel as a hand soap since it won’t strip your natural skin barrier.
Suggested Evening Routine
- Wash up Hand & Shower Cleansing Gel: If you prefer to shower or bathe at night, use our Hand & Shower Cleansing Gel. There are many scents to choose from that all moisturize and cleanse. If you're looking for an extra luxurious bath, we also have Bath Soaks available in many scents.
- Treat skin to Silky Body Cream before getting into bed: Next, put on some more Silky Body Cream to get nourishment while you sleep. Some of our popular options include our signature Camille scent or Blackberry Lavender for a relaxing aroma.
- Use a thick layer of Glycerine Hand Therapy: Before going to sleep, apply a thicker layer of our hand cream to let it absorb deeply overnight.
Ingredients That Keep Skin Looking Young & Feeling Healthy
At Camille Beckman, ingredients are everything. Our story started with an at-home recipe to relieve dry hands that used vegetable glycerine and sweet almond oil as the main ingredients.
This homemade recipe became the basis of our Glycerine Hand Cream, and decades later, we are just as committed to using naturally derived ingredients that have proven benefits.
Our products for aging hands and skin feature the following ingredients:
Plant-derived, Food-Grade Glycerin
Our Glycerine Hand Therapy cream uses food-grade glycerin that is made from vegetables. Glycerine is a core ingredient in many lotions and creams because it pulls water from the outer layer of your skin to nourish deeply.
According to the American Academy of Dermatology Association, glycerin can relieve dry skin, protect the skin barrier, and promote wound healing.
Sweet Almond Oil
Almond oil is another key ingredient in our Glycerine Hand Therapy. This natural product contains many crucial vitamins, such as Vitamin A, Vitamin E, and Zinc.
Vitamin A contains retinol, which can smooth fine lines and with the appearance of aging, while Vitamin E is an antioxidant that prevents damage.
Aloe Leaf Juice
Aloe vera and other products derived from Aloe plants have been used in skincare and healthcare for centuries. You may have used aloe vera products to heal a sunburn.
Our products contain aloe leaf juice that helps heal and soften the skin. This soothing ingredient is great for repairing aging hands and skin.
Common Myths & The Truth About Aging Hands
There are many myths out there about aging, including about aging skin. You’ve probably heard a few of these before, and you may have questions about hand and body care that helps with aging skin. It’s important to get accurate information so you can use products that work and feel great.
We’ve put together a list of some common myths about aging skin to help you sort fact from fiction.
Myth 1: Treating wrinkles and skin has to be super expensive.
Skin care and medical experts note that decreasing wrinkles and caring for your skin doesn’t have to be expensive. In fact, using dozens of products is unlikely to work. Instead, opt for a few products filled with quality ingredients.
Myth 2: Sunscreen is optional.
When it comes to caring for your skin, sunscreen is vital, regardless of age. Even if you didn’t wear sunscreen often when you were younger, now is the time to start. Daily sunscreen use protects your face, hands, and body from sun damage, which is important aesthetically and medically.
If you want to keep your hands and skin looking younger and prevent skin cancer, wear sunscreen daily. Remember that it’s possible to get sunburns and damage even when it’s cloudy.
Myth 3: Once you reach a certain age, skin and body care doesn’t matter.
You may hear that it’s important to start a daily skin and body care routine when you’re young to prevent damage. While this is definitely beneficial, it doesn't mean you can’t heal and help your skin when you're older.
While you may not be able to make your skin look like it did in your 20s, you can lessen many signs of aging and also protect your skin from further damage. Moisturizing is especially important as you age because the skin gets thinner and takes longer to heal.
Soft, Beautiful Hands & Skin
Your skin is beautiful, and you deserve to feel great about how it looks and feels. With as many natural ingredients as possible, our formula-first products are designed to protect your skin and keep it hydrated, for a more youthful appearance and more comfortable skin.
By using Glycerine Hand Therapy and other soothing products daily, you’ll see softer skin that looks radiant. You’ll also love experiencing different scents made from plant extracts and essential oils, so you can make your skin glow while breathing in relaxing aromas.
