We invest in serums, treatments and technology for our face, but some of the first visible changes in skin texture can appear somewhere else entirely.
The neck, décolletage, arms, elbows, knees, hands and legs are often overlooked in daily skincare, despite being prone to dryness, uneven texture, sun exposure and crepey skin. If your facial skincare stops at your jawline, it might be time to take your routine further.
The Neck and Décolletage
The neck and décolletage are frequently exposed to UV and environmental stressors but often receive less attention than the face. Over time, changes in collagen, elasticity and hydration can contribute to fine lines, crepey-looking texture and loss of firmness.
Extend your cleansing, skincare and daily SPF down across the neck and chest rather than treating them as separate areas.
The Upper Arms
The upper arms are a common area for crepey skin, particularly as the skin becomes thinner and loses elasticity over time.
Dryness and dead skin cell build-up can further emphasise uneven texture. Regular gentle exfoliation combined with consistent hydration can help keep the surface feeling smoother, softer and more refined.
The Elbows + Knees
These hardworking areas are easy to forget until their texture changes.
The elbows and knees are naturally prone to dryness, roughness and surface build-up, which can make the skin look dull and uneven.
Targeted exfoliation helps lift away dead skin cells and accumulated build-up, revealing a smoother surface and preparing the skin for the moisturisers, oils and body treatments that follow.
The Hands
Your hands experience almost constant exposure to the outside world - from UV to frequent washing. Yet they are often excluded from a dedicated skincare routine. Daily SPF, regular moisturising and gentle exfoliation can help maintain smoother, softer-looking skin and address dryness and uneven surface texture as it develops.
The Legs
Dry, dull or finely textured skin across the legs can become increasingly noticeable as skin renewal and moisture retention change over time.
Consistent cleansing and exfoliation help remove dead surface cells and daily build-up, while following with hydrating body care helps support softer, more supple-looking skin.
Take Your Skincare Routine Below The Neck
Caring for these forgotten areas does not need to mean adding another complicated routine.
The Face + Body Cleansing Brush brings electric cleansing and exfoliation from face to body, combining Rotating Brush Technology + Sonic Vibration to help lift away dirt, oil, SPF, daily build-up and dead surface skin cells.
With three interchangeable treatment heads, you can customise your cleanse across different areas of the body - from gentle facial cleansing and everyday body cleansing to more targeted exfoliation across areas such as the knees, elbows and heels.
Used consistently, it helps leave skin feeling freshly cleansed, smoother and baby-soft, while preparing the surface for your body serums, oils and moisturisers.
Your Skincare Routine Should Not Stop At Your Face
When it comes to crepey skin, think beyond the areas you see in the mirror every morning. Extend the same principles you use on your face - cleansing, gentle exfoliation, targeted skincare, hydration and daily SPF - across the neck, décolletage and body. Healthy-looking skin is not just about your face.
