Consider this: Hands are usually the first place to start showing your age, and that we pretty much knew already. In fact, the skin there is similar in texture and behavior to the thin eyelid area. But realistically, how often do you think to use hand cream? Most gals don't think twice about washing the dishes sans gloves (what year is it, '52?), and putting sunscreen on the backs of your hands every day just seems like too much. And do you really even care whether your hands will "date" you one day?

Apparently, a lot of people do care once they get to that point. Hand plastic surgery, something I never even considered might be available, is taking off. People are getting lasers to get rid of age spots and stimulate collagen, and instead of getting fat injected to their asses they're now putting it in their hands as well. (Um, yeah, really.) And if you thought David Duchovny's hilarious turn as a hand model wearing a protective tank over his prize-winning mitt in Zoolander was extreme, consider hand model Ellen Sirot's crazy, limited life. The model who has been the hand sub for celebs like Sarah Jessica Parker and Cheryl Tiegs in commercials never does the dishes. Actually, she does no housework whatsoever (cooking, cleaning, etc.), wears protective gloves most of the day and every night, limits her typing and writing (her signature is merely a quick horizontal line dash), and can hardly even open her car door in addition to a long list of other limitations. WTF!?

Still, she claims she gets all kinds of emails from women begging her for the secrets behind her "veinless-poreless-hairless-looking appendages," so she's starting a hand care line, duh. This all seems pretty nuts to me, but I guess if you're really concerned, it wouldn't be that difficult to lube up and sleep with soft gloves on (they mention Moisture Jamzz in the article), right?

Or would you?
