The skin on your decolletage and breasts is so soft, fine and delicate that it can often be one of the first places on your body to show up the tell tale signs of aging in the form of sunspots and freckles, and the loss of elasticity. The main reason for our lack of attention to this area, is that we don’t really pay attention to the fact that almost everyday whether you are wearing a v neck to work or a swimsuit to the beach, your decolletage is at the mercy of the sun and the over exposure to it, will leave it marked and frecklely. Help yourself by always wearing sunscreen or even covering up completely as this is the only way to limit the damage.

Your skin doesn’t end at the bottom of your chin and neither should your skin care routine. Cleansing is a must to rid the skin of dirt, grime and sweat that accumulates on its surface everyday. Choose your cleansing products carefully as too often we lather up with cheap harsh soaps because we think that the skin on our bodies can take it.
The fact really is that over use of harsh soaps result in dry, taut skin that has been stripped of its natural oils. Look for the more gentler cleansing products and soaps that contain moisturizing ingredients like milk and glycerin which will better benefit your skin. Give your bodys skin a helping hand by using the right products for your cleansing, exfoliating and moisturizing as our skin cells depend on the right minerals for metabolism; without them, cells cannot synthesize nutrients for maintenance and growth.

To get the best effectiveness from your dried herbs always store them in dark glass jars with airtight lids away from moisture, sunlight and heat. This will also help in order to keep the fragrance and the oils from dissipating. Its always a good idea to label the bottle with the name of the blend and the date that you made the herb product.
