The problem: The culprits behind the dreaded wattle are easier to explain than they are to defeat.

Saving Your Neck - Hyperigmentation
The problem: When the poet Gerard Manley Hopkins wrote, “Glory be to God for dappled things,” he clearly wasn’t referring to mottled skin.

All of this is especially noticeable in the lower throat and chest area. “The chin acts like a parasol, protecting the skin just underneath it a bit,” Day says. “But the rest of the neck and chest are angled to get white a lot of sun.” Read the rest of this entry »

Saving Your Neck
Consider, if you will, the neck. While the face gets moisturized, buffed, and babied, most necks are lucky to get a spritz of perfume now and then-and the difference shows. “The neck is a dead giveaway,” writes Nora. “You have to cut open a redwood tree to see how old it is, but you wouldn’t have to if it had a neck.” Nora is right.
