Ever noticed how the word “skincare” almost seems synonymous with skincare of the face? If you’ve never thought about anti-aging for the rest of your body—we don’t blame you! Most skincare products focus on creating a younger-looking visage. But the rest of our bodies show signs of aging too—some of them even faster than the face. Learn how to expand your skincare routine from the neck down to focus on these 5 surprising areas, below:

Where: Neck and Chest

Did you know that your neck and chest are some of the first places on your body that show signs of aging? The thin, delicate skin in these areas are often just as exposed to the elements—like sun, dry air, and pollution—as our faces, yet preventative measures are less likely to be taken here.

Additionally, if you spend a lot of time on your phone and other electronic devices, you’ve probably felt the effects of tech neck, like muscle tension and headaches. Unfortunately, it doesn’t end with the physical symptoms—all that looking down can contribute to signs of aging like increased fine lines and wrinkles, as well.

Preventative Skin Solution: Wash, Oil, and Balm

Treat yourself to a daily “facial” for the body by using Wash in the shower or bath. Leave on neck, chest, and arms for 3-5 minutes to let the fruit extracts and skin-boosting botanicals work their magic to gently exfoliate. Meanwhile, the aloe and shea butter in Wash moisturize and soothe skin. After bathing, apply a sheer layer of Vitamin E- and coconut oil-infused Body Oil for an anti-aging dose of antioxidants and a fresh youthful glow. Finish with our game-changing Concreta, a powerful balm packed with one of our favorite anti-aging plant extracts: paracress, which hydrates while improving skin elasticity and firmness. Simply apply in upward strokes toward the jawline and back of the neck.

Where: Hands

Hands can be a tell-all for a person’s age—and a young face with old hands isn’t exactly anyone’s idea of aging gracefully! They’re also one of the toughest areas to keep properly moisturized, and dryness disrupts the skin’s sensitive barrier, allowing for premature signs of aging. Think about it: We put our hands through a lot, yet ironically most of the skincare that goes on them is then applied to our face! Not only are hands just as susceptible to sun damage and dry winter air, they are the point of contact for everything you touch. And while fervent hand washing fights germs, the resulting dryness may make those hands look older than they really are.

Concerned? Don’t worry, there’s a simple way to give your hands the TLC they need to feel good AND combat signs of aging.

Preventative Skin Solution: Lotion + Concreta

A good skincare regimen for the hands is as easy shifting to lotion as a preventative ritual rather than an afterthought. Don’t wait until they feel like sandpaper—prevent dryness altogether with a daily lotion regimen that you apply almost as often as you wash. Our age-defying Hand and Body Lotion is packed with probiotic peptides, organic shea, and lotus which protect against the elements while maintaining a refined, youthful appearance. The inclusion of hyaluronic acid holds moisture to promote a hydrated, plump, healthy appearance when used regularly. You can then apply Concreta as an overnight hand mask to soften and restore skin’s natural beauty.

Where: Knees and Elbows

Ever wondered why knees and elbows get so dry in the first place? Thicker skin to protect active areas don’t absorb moisture as quickly, which, without a preventative skincare regimen, can lead to wrinkled, crepey skin long before it appears anywhere else. Luckily, simply adding them to your self care ritual can combat dryness and prevent that “crepe” look.

Preventative Skin Solution: Body Polish + Concreta

Take advantage of luxury spa secrets by infusing a hydrating Body Polish into your skincare routine. Sugar and salt act as natural exfoliants, gently buffing away dead skin cells to reveal soft skin. Organic shea butter hydrates deeply while easing wrinkles and sunspots.

The last step? You guessed it—Concreta. This multi-tasking balm can be used to spot-treat particularly dry areas as it penetrates thick skin for ultra-healing power.

Combat signs of aging and introduce clean body care into your routine. After all, don’t we all want to look as vibrant on the outside as we feel on the inside?
