Many people tend to apply washes and lotions to their faces but forget that their necks, уearlobs, and decollete are also exposed at all times. They can bear the brunt of the environmental factors that damage delicate skin. And they are the first that shows your age.

Make sure you follow these beauty tips so that your neck and decollete look as lovely as your face:

1. Wash your neck, decollete, and earlobes when you wash your face. They are exposed to the same dust and pollution as your face so, when you wash your face, use the same products to cleanse your neck, decollete, and earlobes.

2. Moisturise them with the same lotions that you use on your face. Massage these lotions into your skin to stimulate lymph fluid flow and release toxins.

3. Do not forget sunscreen! When you step out of the house, make sure that not just your face but also your neck and earlobes are protected with sunscreen. That way, you’ll protect the skin from developing brown sunspots and photoaging.

4. Posture is important. To keep your neck elegant and slender, indulge in some posture exercises that will tone and stretch the muscles around the neck and keep the double chin at bay.

You probably already heard that certain food can affect your skin condition and complexion. Although there is still insufficient data on the link between food and skin condition, you might want to avoid the following foods.

Foods with a high glycemic index (pasta, bakery, sugar, soda) and dairy (particularly milk) may worsen acne. These foods increase your blood sugar, leading to a higher level of insulin that increases sebum production and contributes to the clogging of follicles. By reducing sugar and dairy in taking, you may decrease the amount of insulin and thus sebum production, which will lead to a clearer complexion.

The best food for your skin is the same as for your body: fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean meat, and seafood reach in Omega-3 fatty acids such as salmon, mackerel, tuna, herring, and sardines.

A hot shower is especially bad if you get out of it so relaxed that you ignore moisturising products. After leaving the shower, the skin is saturated with moisture for just a few more minutes. Apply moisturiser to slightly damp skin to soak it with moisturising agents as much as possible and maintain the moisture level afterward.

If you overuse scrubs, you'll get more damage than you bargained for.

If you're exfoliating too much, you might notice redness, dryness, and increased sensitivity in the skin instead of that nice glow you were looking for. Who shouldn't use scrubs or other physical exfoliation?

• people with any skin disorders, for example, acne, psoriasis, rosacea
• people with even minor breakouts. Physical exfoliation can make existing breakouts worse by irritating the skin and exacerbating inflammation.
• People with dry and sensitive skin: Dry and sensitive skin already have a damaged skin barrier. Any form of physical exfoliation will trigger an inflammatory response in the skin and aggravate the problem.

It doesn't suit your skin type ...

A moisturiser should be chosen according to your skin type.

If you are not comfortable with its consistency (it is poorly absorbed, leaves a greasy film), it clogs the pores, provokes inflammation or causes a feeling of tightness, then you might think of changing it.

Burning, itching, redness of the skin ...

All of these can be signs of an allergic reaction. In this case, you should stop using your moisturiser. There should be no itching or burning sensation if this is not skincare with acids.

A few days after applying a new moisturiser, you notice new pimples ...

Most likely, the moisturiser contains ingredients that cause pores clogging: petroleum jelly, paraffin, silicones, lanolin. Look for a label "non-comedogenic".
