How People Will Know Your True Age: Neck and Hands

We spend a lot of time focusing on the importance of proper skin care, but for most people they don’t think below the chin.

The problem is that your neck, chest and hands all get exposure to sun damage and environmental stresses as well.

Is there nothing we can do!?!?!?

Of course there is. It creates an opportunity for more products now doesn’t it?

Removing all cynicism, there is validity in either using the right products, or changing how you use your current products.

While this may not be a big deal right now, I assure you it will be a big deal when you start noticing the delightfully named “Turkey Neck” I often get questions about.

I’m not going to address the products for this as they can speak for themselves. This is more about the other, simpler steps you can take.

Make sure to extend all of your regular skin care downwards. Exfoliation and moisturizers at the very least should all be used on the neck and upper chest. This will create that cell turn over and support the skin structures that keep skin firm and young looking. Serums are up to you. They often come in smaller containers so you will go through them much quicker.

Sunscreen. So much sunscreen. Whenever you’re going to be out, make sure to slather it on, including the backs of your hands.

These will help to hydrate and protect the skin.

You can most definitely get specific products as well. Either way, this is an area that should not be ignored.

Have you found a throat/neck cream that’s made a difference for you?
