This tutorial covers caring for the skin below your chin. We’ll explore exfoliation, moisturizing, and using a retinoid to make sure the skin stays healthy.
Here, we’ll talk about the skin below your jawline. We all fret about it from time to time, but this area does need a little extra attention and care.
There are various ways to take care of skin below one’s chin. We will mention a few of them now.
It is important to moisturize the skin below your chin every day to keep it hydrated and healthy. You can use a rich moisturizer or an oil-based product for this purpose. The two most common types of moisturizers are lotions and creams, which contain different ingredients that can be helpful for various skin types. Some people find that they have better luck with natural oils like coconut oil than with store-bought products, but it’s really up to the individual.
It’s important to take care of the parts of your face that are seen, but what about those that can’t be seen? The under-chin area is at risk for sagging and may require a different skincare routine than the rest of your face. Below, we will discuss some things you can do:
1. Exfoliate Your Elbows
Fragrance-Free Friction is the biggest cause of “leathery” skin. Rubbing against clothes can lead to dry and rough elbows and knees, says New York dermatologist Erin Gilbert, MD, PhD.Ph.dead skin can be easily removed with a gentle loofah in the shower and then followed up by using a softening urea cream such as Vaseline Intensive Care Advanced Repair Fragrance-Free breakouts instead.
2. Hydrate Your Nails
“As we age, our nails can become dry, brittle, and damaged. To treat the condition, apply a heavy moisturizing cream such as CeraVe Healing Ointment.”
dead3. Nix Body Bumps breakouts instead
Diane Berson recommends using a benzoyl peroxide wash for people who suffer from acne and especially those who experience it on their butt and back. One such product is PanOxyl 10% Acne Foaming Wash, which retails for $27 and can be bought online.
When it’s hot, it’s tempting to avoid your skincare routine and just wash off underwater, but this can lead to increased oil production, which causes breakouts Instead, reach for creams and lotions that are free of clogging ingredients or lotions with petroleum jelly-both of which can result in breakouts. You should also opt for natural fabrics that wick away moisture.
3. Don’t Forget About Your Chest
Sleeping on your stomach, wearing tight sports bras, and the sun can all lead to lines on your chest, says Bay Area dermatologist Katie Rodan. Prevention of new lines is key, so apply SPF moisturizer in the morning and sleep on your back.
4. Remember Your Hands
The majority of us are guilty of forgetting to apply SPF before heading out, so it’s time to give our hands protection. “Our hands get as much sun as our face, yet we rarely protect them,” says Texas dermatologist Sherry Ingraham, MD. To add insult to injury, we usually put them in a sink full of detergent and start scrubbing away. Make sure you use SPFs and you’ll feel like a pro while wearing rubber gloves (even if they make you feel like a 1950s housewife.)
5. Take Care With Your Neck
The skin here is more sensitive because it has fewer oil glands. It is also more prone to dryness, itching, and redness. The neck is vulnerable to different types of irritation, which are caused by various things. One of the most significant causes of aging is alcohol-based products, so make sure to avoid moisturizers and anti-agers that have them. Other potential irritants include fragrances, so be mindful when buying anything.
6. Use the Right Coverage
Self-tanners can give you a safe, sunless glow. However, if you have brown sunspots on your skin, the tanning cream may make them darker. Instead of using traditional makeup on your legs, try products by Sally Hansen’s Airbrush Legs brand.
