The Skin Nerd: Why do my hands become crêpe-y with age?

If the skin on your hands is becoming more delicate, the key is to work to increase volume density

My hands have recently become like an old woman's! I look at them and don't recognise them. I've spent fortunes on my face, but never really worried too much about my hands. Since all the extra hand washing, I have been moisturising more, my skin isn't dry or flaky - it just looks crêpe-y and old, the veins are looking more prominent. Is it too late to do anything about it?
