Q: What about sun damage on hands, neck, and chest?

Immediate Answer: These areas age fastest because people often forget to apply SPF there. Extend your sun protection and treatment programmes to hands, neck, and chest for comprehensive anti-ageing results. The Science: Hands, neck, and chest have thinner skin and receive significant sun exposure but are often neglected in skincare routines. Result: these areas show photoageing (spots, wrinkles, texture) years before the face. Additionally, these areas have fewer sebaceous glands, so they're naturally drier and more vulnerable to UV damage. Troubleshooting Breakouts: SPF application: Daycream Defence Repair SPF 50 for hands, neck, and chest dailyUse same quantity as face (1/4 teaspoon distributed across these areas)Reapply after hand-washing Treatment application: Power Glow Serum on neck and chest (supports collagen)Dark Spot Treatment patches on hands if sun spots are presentAdvanced Face Repair on neck/chest at night alongside face—it contains retinol to support skin's natural renewal process Most people neglect these areas, then wonder why they look older than their face. Including them in your routine is simple but high-impact. Pro Tip: Your hands reveal age more than your face because people neglect them. If you're investing in facial anti-ageing, extend it to hands and neck. It takes minimal extra time and produces visible results.
