Hand skin care and remedies for darkened skin

In such a scenario, it is vital that you apply a sunscreen lotion on your hands every single day. To avoid letting your hands come in direct contact with harsh detergents, start wearing gloves whenever you have to work with the detergent. This will prevent further darkening.
