Increasingly in Spain we are more aware of the importance of skin care to get this age prematurely and in leaps and bounds. For this, there are many women who start at a very young age with a facial routine exhaustive, as well as the daily use of sunscreens to protect the skin from sun damage.
However, no matter how old we are, there are two parts of our body that we always tend to forget when it comes to taking care of ourselves and they are: neck and neckline. Two areas that if not treated when we already have mature skin, this It will look much more aged and damaged..
We talk with Alejandra Martínez Rocha, pharmacist and owner of Farmacias Rocha who sends a very clear message when it comes to taking care of the neck and décolleté: “Don’t forget to take care of these areas. We must understand the neckline and neck as an extension of the skin of the face“and explains why.
