Nontoxic Manicure

No matter how well we look after the skin on our faces, our hands betray our age. Wrinkles and protruding veins result from decades of exposure to extremes of temperature, hot and cold water, and pursuits such as gardening, cleaning, and housework. After menopause, skin on the palms may thicken and be prone to cracking. Nails suffer, too, becoming more brittle, ridged, opaque, or dull. And post 55, age spots become more common.
