"Fantastic Skin Care Information!"
When it comes to skin care, most people tend to focus on their faces, forgetting about the other parts of their bodies. Many people barely have time to deal with putting on their makeup and flossing, much less paying attention to their skin care needs from the neck down!
Yet some of the most telltale signs of aging are often quite evident from the neck down. This is especially true if you haven’t been as diligent about protecting your body from sun exposure as you may have been with your face.
Your hands, forearms, and chest (décolletage) can look older than need be if the proper steps aren’t taken. If you are over 40, sun damage (brown spots, creping, and loss of elasticity) is most likely becoming more and more evident on those areas.
One pertinent skin care information fact for skin anywhere on your body is that every inch has the same needs when it comes to skin care products. Skin is skin and it needs to be protected from the sun and it is far healthier and softer (and, dare I say it, younger looking) when the products you apply are loaded with antioxidants, ingredients that mimic the structure of skin, anti-irritants, and cell-communicating ingredients.
Just like the face, the skin on the body can also function better and absorb moisturizer better when it is exfoliated, so the use of a well-formulated AHA product can create smooth, even textured skin like you've never experienced before. The notion that the neck, chest (elegantly referred to as the décolletage) or any other part of the body has different basic skin care needs is a way to waste money, not help your skin.
The following is a skin care information daily Do Not Forget List for those often-forgotten parts of your body.
Avoid Soap: Soap or bar cleanser is almost always drying and the ingredients that keep bar cleansers solid are not the best for skin. Whenever possible, especially if your skin is dry, your body will feel and look much better using a gentle body cleanser (also known as shower gel or body wash). And this doesn’t have to be expensive--it is shocking how similar these products are regardless of the price tag or claim on the label.
Neck and Chest: The bottom line is that whatever you are applying to your face, you should also be applying to your neck and chest. Don’t forget daily application of the following: A moisturizer loaded with state-of-the-art ingredients applied over slightly damp skin is extremely beneficial. An exfoliant can evenly and gently peel away sun-damaged layers of skin.
Hands and Arms: All of the basics for the neck and chest area apply here.
Knees, Heels, and Elbows: The skin over these areas tends to be thick, rough, and often callused. A topical exfoliant can eliminate the problem when used daily. Knees, heels, and elbows also benefit from application of an extremely emollient moisturizer or balm-type product.
Legs: All of the basic needs mentioned for the neck and chest area apply here.
