Most girls have their makeup game on point, but what about body beauty? Check out the 5 most forgotten body parts that NEED beautifying in order for the whole package to look completely gorj.
1. Start just below your face. Your neck is made of the same delicate skin as your face, but there’s a good chance you’re just not giving it the same love. Give your neck and chest some TLC with extra hydration to keep the skin young, supple, and not looking 9 million years old. Products like Strivectin Neck Tightening Cream help hydrate the area while tightening loose skin (perfect for anyone who might’ve ‘forgotten’ to take care of the area for a few years). Available here.

2. If eyes are the windows to the soul, hands are the gateway to everything else. Beauty editor Aly Walansky of ALittleAlytude.com says, “we concentrate so much on stuff like gorgeous hair and eyes and accentuating (or not!?) our cleavage, but think about our hands. From that VERY FIRST meeting when you meet in a bar, or are across from each other at a coffee date, your nails can be soft and smooth and well-manicured or chipped and rough and I think it says a lot about what’s going on with the rest of you. Even if you are nervous and have sweaty palms – you shake hands…and you feel that…or wants to feel ANYTHING else after that?
3. Your butt. Body beauty has a lot to do with booty. It’s true. Butts get trapped inside clothes all day (I mean, if you’re a normal person), are subject to sweaty work outs, grabs by lovers, and contact with bacteria-ridden toilet seats. Try scrubbing down at least once a week with an acne face wash to prevent bacteria-related breakouts and weird skin imperfections. If you’re seeing small veins and other imperfections, Phytomer makes a top notch leg cream that works wonders on the behind, too. Check out Phytomer Blemish Eraser here.
4. Your knees. Knees are the first to get dry and ashy when it comes to lower body skin, and they’re the most obvious parts of your legs when you’re wearing a dress or skirt. Give them a little extra attention by slathering them in a body oil or coconut oil a couple times a week, and dabbing a little bronzer (just one shade deeper than the rest of your legs) on the knee caps to help give a contoured leg look.
5. Heels. But really, there’s nothing worse than a perfectly made up face, gorgeous skin all over, and then boom– cracked heels. Amber Katz of Rouge18.com is a moisture maniac, applying heel-saving treatments both morning and night. If your heels are particularly cracked, try dousing them in a glycolic acid formula for a few days first before moving onto oil-based treatments. Glytone makes an effective and strong Heel and Elbow Cream that goes to work moisturizing while it’s sloughing off dead, hardened skin. Available here.
