Keeping hand and neck wrinkles in check.

Face it, the face gets special treatment. Most of us try hard to use the right products on our face to prevent signs of ageing: lathering on the sunscreen, retinol at night, vitamin C in the morning, keeping our faces glazed like a doughnut.

But our hands and neck are just as likely to show the same signs of ageing. Fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots can all show up there too. So why wouldn't you give them the same special treatment? Your face goes all the way down to your neck, and your hands are almost always exposed to the elements.

Here's how to prevent signs of ageing on your hands and neck. If you're into that sort of thing.

Scrub with love

Exfoliation gets rid of dirt and dead skin cells, but it also encourages new cells to come to the surface. Great for anti-ageing. The skin on your neck and hands can be thinner than the rest of your body, just like your face. So gentle is the way to go. My Niacinamide Body Scrub exfoliates with sugar and magnesium salts in a rich, whipped texture. Packed with niacinamide to help block free radicals. Use it in the shower or pop it next to your sink for luxurious hand washing.

The secret is serum

Anti-ageing serums help prevent wrinkles, fine lines, and signs of ageing. My Niacinamide Correcting Body Serum is rich in antioxidants to soothe, smooth, and brighten skin while helping protect against environmental stressors. Use it at night and take it all the way up to your neck and down to your fingers. Pop it in your bag to top up during the day.

SPF is non-negotiable

You probably know by now that using SPF is the number one way to prevent signs of ageing. Apply a broad spectrum SPF50+ every morning to your hands, neck, and décolletage. Not just your face. They're exposed to the sun just as much, if not more.

Hydration station

Moisturising keeps your hands and neck supple and healthy. The antioxidants in the Niacinamide Correcting Body Serum do double duty here. And don't forget to drink lots of water. You didn't buy that expensive two-litre water bottle for nothing.

Try necks-ercises

Yep, exercises for your neck. Doing them regularly can help treat existing wrinkles and prevent new ones from forming. Tighter muscles mean tighter skin and less chance of sagging. Try this: tilt your head up to the sky and pout your lips like you're waiting for a kiss. Then stick your tongue out and try to lick your chin. Hold for a count of five, then return. Thank me later, babe.
