The Ultimate Anti _Aging Body_Care Routine
The sun is the number-one aggressor when it comes to aging, so if any part of your body will be exposed to the sun — lather up. While we want to stress this during the summer months, the same logic applies in the winter. We recommend the La Roche-Posay Anthelios Melt-In Sunscreen SPF 60 for full-body coverage. It’s non-greasy and absorbs quickly, so it’s an easy addition to your anti-aging body routine.
STEP 3: Don’t Forget About Your Hands
The skin on your hands is delicate and can become saggy, veiny and crepey long before the rest of your body. Take preventative measures and keep the Vichy Ultra-Nourishing Hand Cream on hand (no pun intended) at all times. The formula, which includes shea butter, reinforces the skin’s barrier and keeps your skin hydrated and supple.
STEP 4: Nourish Your Under-Eye Area
Yes, we’re aware that this is technically part of your face routine, but taking care of your under eyes is so important that we just had to reiterate. While you might not necessarily see an immediate difference, applying an eye cream, like the Kiehl’s Powerful-Strength Dark-Circle Reducing Vitamin C Eye Cream, religiously morning and night is one of our cardinal skin-care rules. Gently tap the creamy product around your orbital bone with your ring finger.
STEP 5: Add a Neck Cream
Whether you’ve started to notice fine lines or wrinkles as a result of tech neck (read: lookiehls.com/…vitamin-c-eye-serum/WW0109KIEking down at a screen all day) or your skin has lost tone or firmness with age, a neck cream is a good addition to your anti-aging routine. One we love is the SkinCeuticals Tripeptide-R Neck Repair, which is formulated with retinol to target signs of neck aging.
STEP 6: Bring on the Body Makeup
While skin care is the first step towards younger-looking skin, body makeup can help conceal signs of aging like varicose veins, discoloration and sun spots if they bother you. For a heavy-duty option that’s also used to cover up tattoos and bruises, reach for the Dermablend Leg and Body Makeup. This may not be something you need to apply everyday, but if you are looking for some extra coverage now and again, it’s a good product to have in your arsenal.
