When it comes to skincare, most people focus on their face while neglecting the neck and hands - two areas that often betray age the fastest. If your skincare routine stops at your jawline, it’s time to rethink your approach!
The Forgotten Extension of our Face - Welcome, Neck!
Our neck’s skin is thinner and has fewer oil glands than our face, making it prone to dryness, sagging, and wrinkles. It’s also constantly exposed to environmental stressors like UV rays and pollution. Over time, this can lead to fine lines, crepey skin, and the dreaded ‘tech neck’- wrinkles caused by frequently looking down at screens.
How to take care ?
Apply your facial cleanser, serums, and moisturizers to your neck.
Sun damage accelerates aging, so SPF is non-negotiable, so use sunscreen daily!
Retinol and peptides improve elasticity and promote collagen production - add to your skincare routine!
Drinking plenty of water keeps your skin supple and resilient, stay hydrated!
Professional treatments like microneedling (MTS) or skin boosters can help rejuvenate neck skin. It's time to consider aesthetic treatments!
Let's move to our gentle hands.
Hands are exposed to the sun, chemicals, and frequent washing, making them one of the first places to show signs of aging. Loss of volume, dark spots, and wrinkles can develop over time, giving away our age even if our face looks youthful.
How to keep hands youthful ?
Moisturizing is a key! Use a rich hand cream with ingredients like hyaluronic acid and shea butter.
Again, don't forget about sunscreen.. UV exposure leads to pigmentation and premature aging.
Use Anti-Aging Ingredients: Look for products with retinol, vitamin C, or glycolic acid.
Wear gloves while doing household chores to minimize chemical exposure, protect your hands.
Fillers, laser therapy, or chemical peels can help restore volume and even out skin tone, you can try hand rejuvenation treatments.
