@samanthaschneidermd Your neck, chest, and hands? They age loudly if you ignore them. Extend your skincare — these elegant areas deserve just as much care.

We’re all guilty of it.

We carefully apply our serums and sunscreen to our face—every single day—then completely forget the places that show age just as quickly.

Those forgotten areas?
They will give you away.

The Face Isn’t the Only Place That Ages

Your neck, chest (décolletage), and hands get just as much sun and environmental exposure as your face—sometimes more. Yet they often get zero skincare attention.

Over time that can mean:

• More sunspots on the hands
  
  
• Crepey texture on the chest
  
  
• Lines and laxity on the neck
  
  

Meanwhile, your face looks great because it’s the only place getting the good stuff.

The Easiest Habit to Add

Here’s the pro tip:
Whatever goes on your face should keep going.

After you apply your products:

1. Spread them down your neck
   
   
2. Continue onto your chest
   
   
3. Finish with the backs of your hands
   
   

Sunscreen, moisturizer, retinol, vitamin C—don’t stop at the jawline.

It takes an extra 10 seconds and makes a huge difference over the years.

Think of It as One Big Canvas

Your skin doesn’t end at your chin. Treat these areas as part of the same routine so everything ages gracefully together.

Because nothing reveals your years faster than a glowing face paired with a sun-spotted chest and hands.

Don’t Forget Them

Neck. Chest. Hands.
That’s the tip.

Make it automatic—and your future self will be very grateful.

 I am gonna tell you my favorite skincare tip. Are you ready? Our face is the place we always remember to put our product on. We always remember our sunscreen, at least I hope so, but we forget these other places and they will give you away. Okay? They will. They will give you away. So remember the neck, remember the decolatage area, the chest and the hand.

Take your products. Spread them out on your face, down your neck, backs of the hands. Rub it in. Extend down the neck. Okay? Get it onto your neck. Get it onto your chest. Backs of the hands. That's the pro tip. Don't forget 'em.
