For superior anti-aging results, nothing beats deep treatments that renovate and intensely rehydrate skin. On oily skin, pair a gentle exfoliator for combination types with a moisturizing or exfoliating mask: apply, leave on for 10 minutes, then use wet hands to massage before drying thoroughly.
For dry, fragile, or normal skin, select a water-rich mask like the Avène Thermal Spring Water Moisturizing Mask (80% water). Sleep in it overnight for ultimate plumping—your skin (and pillowcase) will benefit immensely.
Start at: 20 years old.
Frequency: Exfoliate weekly; masks twice weekly for dry skin.
Lips—key for kissing, eating, and expression—are delicate semi-mucosa with minimal keratin, leaving them vulnerable to cold, wind, biting, and aging (think pinched lines or barcode wrinkles). Repurpose your eye contour cream for lips, then seal with a moisturizing balm. Apply generously around the edges (opt for colorless formulas). Consider nourishing lipsticks from Dior or L'Oréal Paris packed with hydrating actives.
Start at: 20 years old.
Frequency: Contour cream twice daily + balm as needed year-round.
Hands: Aging thins them and causes spots. Extend your facial moisturizer to hands daily. Keep a cream handy and reapply post-wash. Wear gloves for chores and apply sunscreen religiously to prevent pigmentation.
Neck & Décolleté: As delicate as facial skin, treat them identically—include in every application and mask routine.
