Doyou even notice someone with very youthful skin on their face, but then you seethe aging signs on the neck, chest and hands? Most people spend lots of time ontheir complexion, but forget the rest of their body.
Yourneck and shoulders can get almost the same amount of sun as your face, so youshould give them the same protective treatment. Its particularly important totake care of your hands. When you drive they get exposed to the sun throughyour car windows, and activities like washing dishes can damage them too.
Makesure you pay lots of attention to these areas and you'll be thankful later. Tryto apply a daily moisturizer of at least SPF 15.

Waxingcan be a bit uncomfortable - but it gets rid of unwanted hair. What many peopledon't realize is that it can be a great exfoliant too.
Waxingnot only rips the hair out from the root, but also removes the very top layerof your skin, along with all the impurities that lie on the surface.
Thisis great before applying any self-tanning products as they will go on evenlywithout streaking. However, to avoid any irritation it’s best to wait 24 hoursbefore applying these products.
