The other day I was at my friend's house and she was putting on her makeup, etc. as we were chatting. I noticed after she applied her moisturizer with SPF, she wiped off the excess product that was on her hands onto a paper towel.
Waste Not – Want Not
Immediately I yelled, "Why did you do that??!" She looked at me and said, "Why did I do what?" I informed her that she shouldn't have wiped the excess product on a paper towel. She tilted her head and gave me an inquisitive look. I explained that she could have used the excess product on her neck, chest and the tops of her hands. At that point, I saw the the lightbulb go off over her head.
First, you should be applying your SPF or moisturizer to your neck and chest areas anyway. You don't want to wind up looking like some of those Hollywood starlets who have had facial rejuvenation done but neglect to do anything with their neck and chest. You know what I'm talking about. Their neck and chest areas look 10 years older than their faces. Gobble, gobble-turkey neck anyone?
Secondly, most women neglect the tops of their hands. This area shows aging rapidly because of the constant exposure to UVA & UVB rays all year round. Hyperpigmentation (brown spots) will show up sooner than you want it to if your hands aren't being protected daily with SPF.
One last tip: always apply your moisturizer/SPF to the face, neck and chest in an UPWARD manner. Don't help gravity along by dragging the skin down.
