Yes it is
It is inappropriate and rude to ask someone their age unless you have a clear purpose such as:
1. When you are a child
2. When you want to drive a vehicle and apply for licenses
3. When you want to get into an R-rated or X-rated film or movie house
4. When you are old enough to go to war
5. When you are old enough to drink
6. When you get access to your inheritance and trust funds
7. When you qualify for senior citizens discounts and become concerned about things like retirement age, and some social security benefits
8. When you reach your centennial age and receive a commendation award from the government.
9. When you are dealing with your medical records.
Yes, it is rude to ask someone else’s age especially if your purpose is beyond idle curiosity or speculation about the effects of smoking or dental care, cosmetics surgeries, or good genes. Whether you think they are older than they are, or younger than they are – either way, can be insulting, condescending – you never know. Better not to go there; if it’s volunteered, great!
But do you know that you can at least identify someone’s age by looking at their hands?
Of all the parts of our body, we are sometimes careless with our hands. Admit it.
We give focus more on our face and buying (sometimes hauling) makeup to make us look more presentable, and yes pretty for our selfie. We are also busy searching for those so-called Holy Grail-in-a-bottles hoping that it will help us to slow down the early signs of aging. Including how we can improve our body and aiming to achieve that well-toned skin and firmed buttocks.
Yes, sometimes we do the occasional hand spa and massage. And the weekly manicure from your favorite nail technician. And even lathering it with your favorite hand creams from your favorite beauty label. And to tell you frankly, sometimes these ways are not enough.
Our hands not only are susceptible to the first signs of aging but very often age even faster than the face.
Yeah, I know and it’s crazy!
It is because the skins on the back of our hands are much thinner than on our faces.
Just imagine if you are doing those hard labor (me doing my own laundry and wash my dishes) our hands become more tired and it deserves pampering, a major one!
And when we neglect it, our hand becomes wrinkly, crinkly crepe-like skin texture and noticeable appearance of bulging veins, which also grow larger over time.
Those moisturizer creams might work but if you want something quickly, safe, and trusted, I have something to recommend you.
Restylane might be the next option for you.
So about last month, I’ve visited Dr. Jennie at Skin 101 Clinic for my scheduled (May 13th) skin booster treatment for my hands. Yeah like a month prior to that, I just had my Restylane Skinbooster treatment on my cheeks. (You may check my previous post here.)
If I feel and look great having a Skinbooster treatment for my face, why not try it with my hands?
And it is really good taking care of our self. And our hands deserve some TLC.
Restylane Skinbooster – it improves skin quality by boosting hydration levels deep inside the subcutaneous tissues, increasing skin smoothness, elasticity, and firmness. It gives full hydration inside our skin that restores and revitalizes it with proven long-lasting and visible results.
This is my hands before the treatment and I’m not going to lie about these. Yeah, they are kind of dry, wrinkly – the aftermath of frequent dishwashing, laundry detergents, and laziness.
YES – Laziness makes you ugly. And this is serious.
I got lazy applying some moisturizers and cream for my hands.
Dr. Jennie used one (1) vial of Restylane Skinbooster for both my hands. She said that my hands need minor touched-up so 1 vial is enough. In some patients, they consumed 1-2 vials depends on their needs.
At first, I thought it will irk me because I will see those needles inserting into my skin, but surprisingly I didn’t. After cleansing my hands, Dr. Jennie slowly and patiently injected them. I didn’t feel any pain because it has Lidocaine – a local anesthetic agent.
This procedure doesn’t remove your veins, okay. It gives you that hydration and plumpness thus hiding our veins. Restylane Skinbooster is not injected in my veins, just under my skin as you can see in those photos above.
Aside from the usual tiny bruises caused by the injection, nothing serious bump or more bruises or redness at all – nothing!
These are my hands two (2) days after my treatment. I haven’t felt any numbness, and start to look really good!
These are my lovely hands 18-days after my Restylane Skinbooster treatment.
23-days after my treatment.
OMG, I’m kinda obsessing with my hands now. They look so healthy and smooth, with no wrinkles unlike before, plus I’m feeling confident showing off my hands!
For a non-model like me, my hands look model-like enough for my blog! I’m so happy :D
Restylane Skinbooster costs Php14,000 (approx.) per vial. Each treatment lasts up to 6 months or more depends on how we take care of our hands.
It is also a great help that I use Restylane skincare for my hands (and yes, I will share my review very soon!) I also constantly apply sunscreen lotion to prevent sun damages.
So now you know another secret how to hide your real age!

People always say another way to tell someone's age is by looking at the tightness of the skin around their neck. Overall some really great points made about the maintenance and self care we should take with our hands as we age :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, our hands are the parts of our body that we regularly use, and its not bad to give attention to it :D
DeleteNever heard of this, but your hands are certainly gorgeous! And your nails are too! Seems like I have the most trouble with those...keeping them moisturized and clean...
ReplyDeleteThank you Krista,
DeleteYeah I also regularly apply moisturizer especially before bedtime.
Oh wow.. I am thinking I need one of this treatments for my hands...my hands are sooooo old and wrinkly and definitely not my best part of the body
ReplyDeleteHello Miera,
DeleteYou can try having a skin booster treatment for your hands first. It is not painful.
Oh wow, my hands could use this treatment. They are looking rather weathered these days. I'll have to keep this in mind.
ReplyDeleteHello Dear, yeah this treatment instantly made my hands look younger like when I was in grade school! It's crazy, and I love it :)
DeleteMy mother always says take care of the hands and neck. I'm terrible at both. This looks great!
ReplyDeleteHahaha my Momma says the same!
DeleteI didn't know about this treatment. Your hands look smooth and nice.
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda :) This treatment is also becoming famous here in Asia like in Hong Kong, Japan and Singapore.
DeleteI always look at people hands lol but I don't think its rude to ask for someone's age. Age is to be embraced in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteYour hands look really soft and tight. Good thing you did.
ReplyDeleteThank you dear :) Restylane and my Doctor did great!
DeleteYour hands look amazing! And your nails too :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Marie! I did my own nail coloring :)
DeleteWow, that is really cool! Your hands really do show your age, and yours are perfect! I wouldn't be able to tell at all!
ReplyDeleteThank you Kasey :)
DeleteI actually think my hands have gotten a little rougher since moving to an apartment without a dishwasher. I've been having to wash dishes by hand a lot more than what I'm used to and I'm not re-moisturizing my hands each time after I do them, so they've become a lot drier. I think I need something like this!
ReplyDeleteI became conscious with my hand after learning that it could easily spot your age, lol This treatment helps me a lot plus lots of moisturizers regularly.
DeleteOh yes i do admit I sometimes forget to look after my hands so must do something about that! Your hands look great by the way!
ReplyDeleteThank you Farena :)
DeleteI am actually convinced. haha. your hands do look model material <3
ReplyDeletelol Thank you Aliza. But the reality of hand-modelling is much tough... I think mine wouldn't pass.
DeleteI've always heard that the we age first with our hands so this post is very intriguing. We should all take good care of our hands before needing any injection treatments.
ReplyDeleteBeth || www.TheStyleBouquet.com
Thank you Beth. I am also now addicted with hand creams!
DeleteI need to have this treatment too - I think my hands are ageing well before my face do. Haha
ReplyDeleteSame as mine, that's why I was convince to have this procedure, and I am so happy with the result :D
DeleteAt first, I thought that this would be what I would like to get done. And then I saw the needles. Yikes!!! I guess I'll just stick to creams.
ReplyDeleteHello Emily,
DeleteLOL yeah I am actually scared of needles, ohh please no. But these needles that they've used - I can't feel it injecting to my skin, thanks to the lidocaine and creams they applied to me.
Ok firstly your hands looks great but I think I will stick to lotions and potions because injections of any sort definitely put me out
ReplyDeleteLOL I understand Anosa. It takes a lot of effin courage I did before I said yes for it. Until I satisfied and convinced myself that the treatment is save, then I said yes for it :)
DeleteThis looks great especially for people like my who have a very dry skin.
ReplyDeleteDry skin is caused by lost of moisture, and this treatment helps to brings back the moisture making our skin prettier. After weeks and see the amazing result, sometimes I realized people might think I am a lazy ass because my hands are not dry, LOL
DeleteInteresting. My hands always dry because of working in air-condition room. Maybe I should try this treatment.
ReplyDeleteMine gone dry too before, because of air-conditioned, and frequently soaking to detergent soaps as I do my own laundry, and washing dishes, etc.
DeleteAnd I'm happy that Restylane brought back the beauty of my hands :)
nice reminder. will look for something similar here in Malaysia too! :)
ReplyDeleteHello Geng,
DeleteYeah ask your nearest beauty and aesthetic clinics, I think they have Restylane too.
Haven't try Skinbooster treatment yet. it looks like a great treatment
ReplyDeleteYeah it really makes sense the amazing result. Its been 6 months now, and my hands are still looks good :) No wrinkles!
Deletereading this post makes me realize my hands looks old though..a lazy me need a treatment too!
ReplyDeleteA little treatment and pampering isn't bad... but wouldn't you believe that sometimes my friends even think I'm so lazy because my hands are so smooth? LOL
Deleteooo, an aesthetic treatment for beautiful hands. sweet!
ReplyDeleteHahaha yes Isaac :) Hey this can also be done even for male clients. Nowadays it seems that many guys are also into beauty aesthetics.
DeleteAm I the only one who didn't bother if anyone ask for my age. :D :D By the way, I do have kind of wrinkly hands
ReplyDeleteSometimes I do bother, sometimes I don't - it depends!
DeleteWow, I didn't know there were actual hand treatments like these!
ReplyDeleteYou should this it too Audrey, visit your nearest beauty aesthetic clinics and you may ask for a quote.
DeleteThanks for the tips, it is really useful to me :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Ivy, I'm glad that this post guided you.
DeleteDidn't knw about such treatment for hands either! But the needles look scary!
ReplyDeleteLOL yeah, more than 30 shots are really scary. I don't felt it because of lidocaine.
DeleteI dont dare try on the booster as I scare of needle. You really brave trying the treament. Salute you.
ReplyDeleteThank you Betty! It's not painful maybe because I have high tolerance on pain and already conditioned my mind into it.
