Along with increased stress and less face-to-face time with others, there’s one more potential wrinkle that comes from being connected 24/7.
Staring down at your smartphone, tablet and laptop too often could be giving you a neck that looks much older than you are—a condition some experts are calling “tech neck.” But before you swear off tech, know that there are some simple things you can do to help stave off lines, wrinkles, sagging skin and other telltale signs of “tech neck.”
Taking the time to extend your skincare efforts all the way down to your neck can have a huge impact on your skin’s health and overall appearance. Instead of your neck being an afterthought, make it a daily part of your anti-aging skincare strategy. Try a topical medicated skincare regimen to diminish discoloration, improve overall tone and texture and help reverse other signs of chronic sun damage. With consistent use, real results are possible. Most important, apply sunscreen to your neck every morning. While the area directly below the chin gets some shade, it’s not consistent and the rest of your neck is often left exposed and unprotected. This can result in everything from sagging skin to brown spots.
One thing you can’t do to remedy “tech neck” is get a neck lift. There’s actually no such thing … your neck can’t be treated independently from your face. Reversal of the sag requires an invasive face-lift (with a minimum of two to three weeks to heal), and it won’t improve the overall quality of skin.
Fortunately, when it comes to a younger-looking neck, you don’t need surgical pain to get that gain. It is possible to prevent and correct “tech neck” with a clinically proven skincare solution. And for the sake of your skin and overall well-being, try to take a break from 24/7 connecting and go off-line a few times a day. Your skin, and your health, will thank you. ~Debi

Pretty Summer Feet
Athlete’s foot got its name because the fungus that causes it is prevalent in locker rooms, pool-changing areas and other places that the sports-inclined among us tend to frequent. But the reality is fungus is everywhere in the environment and whether you get it is a matter of your individual susceptibility—not your athletic prowess. In fact, one in three people have some form of foot fungus—and most are completely unaware they have this condition.
If you have dry heels accompanied by white, moist scaling between the toes, chances are you have a fungal infection and will need to use a topical antifungal cream or spray you can get over the counter at the drugstore or through your doctor. To prevent reappearance, it’s important to stay vigilant even after you’ve cleared the infection. Continue to use anti-fungal cream or spray daily, wear flip-flops in public showers and make sure to dry your feet thoroughly after showering. You may also want to pare away the dead skin with a high-glide, oil-free micro-dermabrasion paste. This gentle exfoliation will allow moisturizers and medicines to better penetrate while also improving the tone and texture of your feet.
It’s also important to treat all your shoes, as they can carry remnants of fungus long after the infection may have cleared from your skin. We suggest sprinkling some Zeasorb-AF, available in most drugstores, in every pair to kill the spores.
Taking care of your tootsies is no small feat. But if you show them the love they deserve, you’ll be putting your best foot forward whether you’re wearing hiking boots on a mountain trail or strappy sandals at an outdoor party.

Lips feeling lousy this summer? If so, it’s not surprising. The thin skin on lips is particularly sensitive and vulnerable to showing signs of aging and dryness, conditions that are exacerbated by summertime sun exposure, chlorine and salt water.
When lips are dry and chapped, it is human nature to lick them for relief. In fact, a recent study found that the average woman will consume eight pounds of lipstick in her lifetime from licking her lips. The problem is, while licking lips offers momentary moisture, the act creates a wet/dry cycle that will only make matters worse.
Almost 60% of women aged 35 to 44 reported wearing lip gloss daily, but layering on gloss won’t help cure dry, flaky lips. That’s because lip gloss is primarily cosmetic, designed to color lips and add shine. While most formulas might temporarily soothe and disguise dry lips, they aren’t formulated to improve the quality of lips over time.
To keep your pout looking and feeling perfect, use a gentle, specially formulated exfoliating and conditioning treatment to remove dry, dead skin. To help lips retain their natural moisturizing factors and reduce the appearance of lip wrinkles, apply a moisturizing serum rich in peptides and antioxidants. Then use a balm that contains lipid molecules, antioxidants and dimethicone to improve skin, lock in moisture and protect the delicate moisture barrier. Make sure to select a balm that contains broad -spectrum sunscreen to protect against UVA and UVB rays.
Your (previously parched) pucker will thank you.
