7 Hand Lotions With SPF To Protect Your Mitts

As the summer ends, it's important to continue to have an SPF in your foundation or moisturizer, and just like you shield your face from the sun, your hands actually need the same protection. You probably don't have your hands in mind when applying sunscreen, but there's actually hand lotions with SPF so that you can protect them from premature wrinkles and even skin cancer.

Even though you should moisturize right after you shower, reapplying hand lotion with SPF throughout the day will ensure complete protection, especially if you're driving during a hot afternoon. According to a study in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 53 percent of skin cancers occur on the left side of the body, which just happens to be driver's side of the car.

If you're going to be driving for long hours for a summer road trip before the summer ends, you might want to find a hand cream or lotion to not only moisturize dry hands but to protect them from UV rays.

I've already heard about hand fillers to prevent wrinkles in your hands, but in case you don't want to go that far to protect yourself against wrinkles, finding an effective SPF hand cream is the next best beauty hack.
