Neck: All too often, we forget to put lotion on our necks, and this is the area we need to pay attention to most. One of the worst tell tale signs of aging is a woman's neck, because while her face may be wrinkle-free from years of taking care of her skin, she'll forget her neck and her age is immediately shown. Use a classic like Nivea on this all too forgotten area and you'll be happy that you did.
