Tips to get beautiful shining Body Parts

NECK and CHEST:

When the temperature rises, necklines fall. “Women obsess over every millimeter of their face, then completely ignore everything from their chin down. Remember the ultimate skin-care rule: Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen SPF 15 or higher every day including your neck and chest. This will help prevent sun damage that can lead to age spots, sagging and wrinkling. If you already see these signs, consider a trip to your dermatologist. “A gentle, in-office chemical peel can improve skin tone and texture. If you’re the do-it-yourself type, rub an at-home exfoliation gel on your neck and decolletage in circular motions for a few minutes, two or three times a week. It will leave your skin refreshed and give you a complexion you can feel confident about.

Knees:

These leg joints are one of your body’s most overworked parts, helping you kneel, bend and climb all day long. It's no wonder they can show signs of wear and tear in the form of thick, dry, discolored, itchy skin. Like your elbows, it’s important to cleanse, exfoliate and hydrate your knees. “Because they work so hard, the skin on the knee often looks much older than the rest of the leg,” says New York City-based dermatologist David Colbert, M.D. Choose a gentle cleanser, then exfoliate in the bath or shower two or three times a week. Rub in a circular motion on and around your knee, rinse and pat don’t rub dry. This will help whisk away dry, flaky skin.

To get even more visible results, use a retinol. (That’s right retinols aren’t just for your face!) It will help keep cell turnover constant on your knees, evening out skin tone. Finally, hydrate with an antioxidant-rich body butter.

Feet:

Finally, it’s sandal weather! If you’re not thrilled about baring your soles, treat yourself to a professional pedicure early in the season. Even if you do it yourself afterward, you’ll give your toes a head start in looking their best. Then, keep it up on your own. If you live near a beach, take advantage of the sand as a natural exfoliant. “Take a long walk near the water where the sand is looser and water can wash over your feet,” says Stephanie Whittier, L.M.T., C.S.T., a New York City-based wellness expert and licensed massage therapist. “Then walk backward, digging your heels in with each step.” It’s a fun way to get rid of unsightly calluses!

At home, use a sea salt scrub and a pumice stone to peel away dead skin, and apply a soothing, hydrating oil on your toenails to keep them primed for polish.

If your tootsies need extra pampering, pile on an emollient cream, concentrating on your heels, then wear cotton socks over the treatment while you sleep.

Elbows:

You’ve got your front covered, but how about your back view? “It’s so easy to forget the areas you don’t see very often, like your elbows,” says Whittier. Take a peek at these neglected joints in a mirror. Notice dry, flaky skin? First, avoid rubbing or scratching the area, which will only aggravate your skin; next, exfoliate your elbows in the shower. When you get out, apply a generous amount of vitamin E oil (while skin is still damp), followed by a body lotion to seal in the moisture.
