As celebs like Madonna and Sarah-Jessica Parker will attest, nothing betrays a woman’s age quite like the hands.
They're always in contact with the elements, household chemicals and extreme temperatures causing sun damage, dryness, chapped skin and age spots.
Yet our mitts are often left off the list when it comes to pampering.
But as the temperature drops, it’s time to think about protecting skin from the ravages of the weather.
Here are some of the best ways to look after your hands this season.
