NeoStrata Brings Pioneering Anti-Aging Technology to Hand Care

PRINCETON, N.J. (December 22, 2005) – Every year, American women spend millions of dollars on anti-aging face products in the hopes of disguising how old they really are. But what about the telltale fine lines and brown spots on the hands?

As one of the most exposed areas of the body, the hands are just as susceptible to the effects of photoaging – and are just as visible – as the face and neck. Commercial lotions that most people use for their hands are usually nothing more than an amalgam of water and mineral oil, which does nothing more than coat the skin so it “feels” softer.

NEOSTRATA, the company that revolutionized dermatology with its introduction of alphahydroxy acids to skin care, presents a series of treatments that bring breakthrough anti-aging and skin-lightening technology to hand care. These physician-developed products have been clinically proven to help re-texturize, protect and brighten hands that show accumulated physical and UV damage.

“Years of use and abuse exact a severe toll on the hands, leading to the development of a crepe-like skin texture and unsightly hyperpigmentation spots,” says Lynda Wilson, Vice President, U.S. Market Development at NeoStrata. “NeoStrata’s hand formulas use the ingredient technology found in our powerful anti-aging products to return hands to a more youthful, clarified appearance.”

NeoStrata’s hand care products deliver exceptional hydrating, smoothing and protecting benefits. A powerful blend of patented polyhydroxy, alphahydroxy and “bionic” acids stimulate and support skin’s cellular renewal process, smooth skin tone and pigmentation, while nutritive vitamins and botanicals defend against free radicals.

The Dos and Don’ts of Hand and Nail Care

Wilson stresses the importance of supplementing a targeted hand care regimen with lifestyle changes that are hand- and nail-friendly. Here, some suggestions on how to keep hands and digits in top condition:
