Don't let your hands reveal your age.

• Prep. Use prescription Retin-A or a drugstore cream with alpha hydroxy acid (Eucerin Plus, Aqua Glycolic) to exfoliate. Retin-A also boosts collagen, diminishing the look of veins.
• Fade. Lighten age spots with hydroquinone (OTCs like Porcelana and Esotérica contain 2%, but your doctor can write a script for one with 4%).
• Dress 'em up. In a study, people thought hands adorned with jewelry and manicures looked younger than they actually were.
