Q. Why is there such a difference in the skin on my face and the skin on my neck? My neck looks twice as old as my face does.
A. I have a question for you. Do you treat this sensitive area the same way that you treat your face? People often have this issue because they do not cleanse, treat, moisturize or apply sunscreen like they do on their face. The skin on your neck is thinner and has fewer oil glands than the skin on your face so it is very susceptible to early signs of aging. The same products you use for lines and dark spots on the face will work well on your neck. I recommend a patch test in this area to avoid irritation.

Q. I have dark circles underneath my
eyes. I feel like I get enough rest, so why are they there and what can I do
about them?
A. Contrary to popular belief, sleep habits have nothing to do with dark under eye circles. They actually may be caused by allergies and a simple OTC antihistamine may the answer. Another factor is that under eye skin is thin and there are numerous veins in this area so the color beneath can give a darker hue. Increased pigmentation caused by sun exposure could be another cause.
Many people have dark under eye circles and there is no real cure. Using an eye cream that contains peptides and retinoids will help build collagen and thicken the skin over time, making the dare circles less noticeable. Also, using an eye cream that contains an SPF will help prevent further sun damage to this delicate area.
Finally, invest in a good concealer that is a half shade lighter than your skin tone and use it regularly.
