when it comes to aging, are hands the new neck? Jun 30, 2009
|
It used to be that a woman's neck was the giveaway to her age. But now so many faces are looking years better than their age these days, so there's another part of the body that defines a woman's age: her hands. And who knows better how to keep hands in good condition than Ellen Sirot, one of the most prolific hand models in the business… Her hands have graced more commercials, photos and campaigns than she can remember over the course of her 20 year career, always looking lovely – never a ragged cuticle, a wonky finger nail or rough patch. And she's poured all the tricks and knowledge that make her ageless hands look so great into a line of products aptly named Hand Perfection™.
Sirot follows a rigorous personal regimen – gloves worn to the elbow daily, hardly any hand washing, moisturizing up to 20 times a day and no dishwashing or other household duties – but Girlawhirl saw a marked improvement in her own hands with a few applications of just two of the six products offered in the line.
“Surprisingly, hand care has lagged far behind the facial skincare category in terms of breakthroughs that address premature skin aging on the hands,” says Sirot. The Hand Perfection products use skin-friendly omega-3 fatty acids and strong moisturizers with new technologies that help brighten, firm and tighten skin. A four-week study done last winter showed proven results in skin texture, elasticity, firmness, clarity, and softness.
Girlawhirl's hooked on the Nail & Cuticle Treatment – a wand that dispenses a fabulous oil that soaks in quickly but produces lasting effects – her cuticles remain smooth and translucent, not flaky and white, all day long.
