Is there a way to feminize your hands? My skin lloks wrinkly on the back of the hands.  I just wish they were smoother.

Hi Bryanne:

You have to try Toni's sea secret spreadable beauty treatment for hands.
It's a wonderful exfoliant that moisturizes and rejuvenates your hands instantly.  Try it at www.hsn.com

Bryanne, burt's bees almond hand stuff is really nice if you put it on then put gloves (the soft kind in the beauty section yknow?) over it and wear it while you sleep every night. it makes my hands really soft. also have you ever seen those hot wax things you dip your hands and feet in? those take dead skin off and make your hands smooth.

Make sure to drink enough water and liquids during the day as well.

Ok, thanks for the info.  I just wonder if it is the effects of testoerone, which causes hands not to be smooth.

Bryanne

Yes it is, Bryanne.

This is probably the single most important thing you can do to help with dry wrinkly skin.  I believe that that the recommended amount of water intake per day is approx. 4 liters.  I try to drink that much but I'm not always that successful.  Anyway I know that since starting this I've felt much better and my skin feels nicer as well.

I drink lots of water myself (3+ liters daily), but have mostly done it for weight control and spiro dehydration.

Hello Bryanne

While testosterone does affect male skin, along with aging there are other factors at work as well.  Issues such as your general health, your diet, your exposure to the sun, water intake (discussed before), and simply how you treat your hands.  Every day folk don't usually give their hands a second thought while those who's careers depend on them (surgeons, pianists, models etc.) obviously take better care of them.

Probably along with drinking water Bryanne you can do simple things such as washing the hands regularly and moisturizing afterwards, and protect them by wearing gloves when needed.

Condoms are to gloves as safe sex is to safe dishwashing.

There may also be the need to depilate.  Despite the near lack of T and the effects of estrgen, I have to depilate my arms and the back of my hands monthly.  Legs, too.  Can't afford another $20K of electrolysis for arms and legs.

I use an Epilady knockoff.
