Let's set the record straight first. As Illamasqua's Generation Q collection
so boldly declared, beauty is ageless, and we couldn't agree more. That
said, no matter a baby boomer or Gen Y'er, we should all be taking
care of our skin with the precision of a scientist.
Our skin is largest organ on our body, yet most of the time we give
all of our attention to our complexion and forget about 90% of the rest.
Unfortunately, the parts we
don't take care of age just as
quickly as our face—telltale giveaways. Fortunately, it's easier than
ever to take a whole body approach with these tips.
HANDS
Driving, chopping, typing, applying eye liner—your hands have all the
fun and do all the work. Thus, they are easily callused, bruised,
damaged, and equally affected by UV rays. Don't forget about these
operators just because they move all the time! Apply leftover SPF and
serums from your face over the tops of your hands and fingers for extra
protection.
NECK AND CHEST
Yes, French women
have realized this secret for years—your neck and chest are prime real
estate! It's a shame when those with flawless complexions are marred by
spots and small wrinkles below the chin. Firming, wrinkle-reducing creams exist aplenty for your décolletage, but if you're in a pinch just use the same moisturize for your face down below.
LASHES
Ever wonder why children look so naturally beautiful? It's because of
their full, thick set of eye lashes. Whether you invest in lash extensions or worship your favorite mascara,
it's important to take time to nourish the lid area every once in a
while. Hydrate your lashes weekly with a drop of coconut or olive oil
and you'll see a noticeable improvement in their luster and health.
EARS
It's subtle, but ears can age you years
if not properly taken care of. Since most walk around with exposed
lobes, wrinkling and sun spots can prey here just as easily as on the
tip your nose. Sunscreen and extra moisture during the winter can't
hurt.
