Healthy Skincare Tips for the 6 Most Neglected Parts of Your Body

1. Healthy Skincare Tips for the 6  Most Neglected Parts of Your Body      Have you noticed how when a star enters a room, all eyes turn towards that  direction? Nobody else seems to exist except the celebrity!  Now, use this analogy for your body parts. Your face is the “star” of your  body. All your attention and care are reserved for your face because, after all,  it’s the first thing people notice. So, you spend endless hours grooming,  preening and polishing your face with all sorts of lotions and creams.   But what about the common people in the room? The ones in the background  that do the actual work? What attention do you give to your knees, elbows,  and neck? What about the real foot soldiers – hands and feet? 

2. My guess is like the majority of us, you tend to overlook paying special  attention to them. Barring the occasional manicure and pedicure, or the back  massage at your neighbourhood beauty salon, your hands and feet, neck,  elbows, knees, and back tend to be generally neglected in your skincare  regime.  Well, the time has come for the neglected parts to demand their due! Read on  to know some special skincare tips to pamper these forgotten heroes of your  body.  The Neglected Parts of Our Body  These would be your hands and feet, elbows and knees, neck and back. Let’s  see how you can give these the attention they deserve.  Feet:   Our feet have to bear the load of our bodies the entire day. If you are  working, then your feet are in formal shoes for the better part of the day.  Even if you are at home, your feet are almost always at work. Barring the  leisure times when we put our feet up (literally) and relax, our feet have it  really rough and tough.   Swollen ankles, rough and dry skin on the feet, cracked heels, these are  some familiar problems your feet have to bear. How about pampering your  feet for a change, with a ​foot cream​ that has moisturizing Shea Butter with  Argan, Sweet Almond and Extra Virgin Olive Oils?   If you are pregnant, your feet have to work double time! Swollen ankles and  feet are common during the later trimesters of pregnancy, when the baby is  growing in weight. Provide some relief to your tired feet with a​ foot cream for  swollen feet ​with Peppermint Oil and Arginine -that increases blood  circulation. This foot cream also has the nourishing goodness of Vitamin E  for preventing skin damage.   Elbows: 

3. Do your elbows look rough and dark? Chances are there is an accumulation  of dead skin cells on your elbows. Or it may be due to excessive sun  exposure. Skin problems like eczema or post inflammatory  hyperpigmentation also tend to leave elbows and knees dark and dry.   Indulge them with a ​natural body lotion​ with Shea Butter, Honey extract and  Coconut Oil. Organic Chamomile and Jojoba Oils helps heal acne or eczema  affected skin and reduce irritation. Rosehip oil helps in collagen synthesis  while Rose oil helps in soothing nerves.  Neck:   While your face gets all the attention of skincare products, your neck stands  neglected. However, your neck gives away the signs of aging through its  folds and creases.   Use a body lotion with natural oils like Chamomile and Jojoba, and Vitamin E  that moisturize your neck region and repair the skin here. Moisturize your  neck region with this ​natural body lotion​ after your bath.  Back:  Unless we wear backless dresses or cholis, we don’t spare a thought for our  poor back. It remains “out of sight, out of mind”.   How about indulging your back skin with a really nourishing ​body butter  cream​? With essential oils like Almond, Jojoba, Olive, and Rosehip, and  Cocoa and Shea Butters, this body butter lavishes care and moisture to your  back.   Hands:  In the current scenario, with all the extra emphasis on hygiene, hand washing  has increased manifold. We are also using alcohol-based sanitizers  regularly. This leaves us with dry, flaky skin on our hands.  

4. Pamper your hands with ​natural body butter ​that is enriched with the  moisturizing properties of Shea and Cocoa Butters. What’s more, it has  Natural Almond, Jojoba and Olive oils along with Sea Buckthorn Oil, an  essential source of Vitamins E & A and Omega fatty acids, that improves skin  elasticity and stimulates skin regeneration. Rediscover soft and smooth  hands with this nourishing body butter cream that also has Rosehip oil to  stimulate collagen production. Keep itchy skin at bay and indulge in some  tender loving care with this natural body butter.  Knees:   Your knees are much neglected parts of your body that hardly receive your  attention. If you have dark, dry and rough knees, do attend to them with a  paraben free body lotion​ that has natural oils like Coconut, Chamomile,  Jojoba and Rose, along with Vitamin E for rich moisturization. Get smooth,  well moisturized knees with regular use of this rich body lotion.  Now that winter is approaching, you need to treat your entire body with extra  care. Endow your body with the deep moisturizing care of these 100% natural  skincare products. Also follow some general skincare tips to keep your  hitherto neglected body parts in top shape.  10 Skincare Tips to Lavish Attention on Your Hands, Feet,  Neck, Back, Elbows and Knees  1. Drink lots and lots of water. Hydrate your skin from within. Drink  natural juices, lemon water, coconut water, buttermilk, instead of  artificial beverages that tend to dry out your skin.  2. Eat plenty of greens, fresh fruits, nuts, fish, yoghurt for providing your  skin with protein and good fats. Eggs, cottage cheese and milk are also  good for the skin.   3. Take smaller baths in lukewarm, tepid water. Avoid hot showers or  soaking in hot water for a long time in winter.  4. Don’t rub skin too hard with the towel after washing. 

5. 5. Moisturize your skin immediately after drying yourself after your bath.  Take drops of the natural body lotion, and apply to your neck, elbows  and knees in gentle circular motions.  6. Apply the natural foot cream to your tired feet before you retire for the  night. Let your feet soak in the moisture. For better absorption, wear  cotton socks after applying, so that the moisture from the foot cream  can seep into your skin.  7. Always wear sun protection before venturing out in the sun in peak  hours. Apply sunscreen lotion not only to your face, but also your neck,  hands, elbows and knees, if exposed.  8. Apply the body butter cream liberally to your hands, abdomen, back  and thighs. These areas show stretch signs the most, when you gain or  lose weight.   9. If you are in advanced stages of pregnancy, you should never forget to  apply foot cream for swollen feet to ease your muscles and soothe  skin.  10. Lastly, get sufficient sleep and rest. Your body repairs and  rejuvenates while you are asleep, so make sure you are getting enough  of shut-eye. Sleep is the natural beauty treatment recommended by all  physicians!  You can’t go wrong with these healthy habits that add glow and softness to  your skin.  The Moms Co.​ is with you in your skincare routine with its fully natural,  chemical and toxin-free products.
