The sun is one of the biggest sources of skin aging — and that’s especially true for the skin on your hands. Hands are often exposed year-round without any sort of protection, and that’s why they often end up looking more wrinkled and speckled than the skin on your face. Plus, hand skin is thin and dries out easily, accelerating aging even more. However, the solution is simple: Apply a hand cream with SPF every single day. Keep one next to your sink, one in your purse and one on your desk so you’ll remember to apply it — and reapply it throughout the day. Above, 8 best hand creams with SPF to add to your daily routine.

Convenient Pump
This hand cream has a lot going for it. It has a nice high SPF of 40 and is incredibly moisturizing because it's packed with botanical oils.
