Why Your Neck, Décolletage & Hands Deserve LUSH Love Too

We've all been there – diligently applying our favorite moisturizer to our face, patting ourselves on the back for our skin care dedication, while completely neglecting three areas that reveal our age just as quickly (if not more so): the neck, décolletage, and hands. We're here with a gentle reminder that our LUSH organic moisturizer isn't just for your beautiful face – it's perfect for these often-overlooked areas too.

Our Nutritional Approach to Skincare

At EAA, we believe in a revolutionary approach to skincare: your skin doesn't have a fixed "type" that requires specific formulations. Instead, we understand that when you offer your skin organic, plant-based, and highly nourishing substances, it knows innately how to find its natural balance.

New discoveries in epigenetics have shown that gene expression can change through nutrition. We've applied this wisdom to skincare, formulating products that provide essential nutrients for your skin to thrive – whether on your face, neck, décolletage, or hands. The outdated concept of treating "skin types" with different chemical formulations is giving way to a deeper understanding of skin as a dynamic, responsive organ that benefits from proper nutrition everywhere.

The Forgotten Zones of Skin Aging

While many skincare conversations focus on aging concerns, these areas deserve attention no matter your age!

Your Neck: Constantly moving, exposed to the elements, subject to "tech neck" from looking down at devices, and often neglected in both sunscreen and moisturizer application

Your Décolletage: Prone to sun exposure, often neglected in daily skincare routines, and susceptible to early dehydration

Your Hands: The most active and exposed parts of our body, constantly washing, working, and weathering the elements

For younger skin, these areas benefit from preventative nutrition and protection. For mature skin, they respond beautifully to targeted nourishment. Either way, extending your skincare beyond your face is a practice worth adopting early. These areas can reveal your true age – or even make you appear older than you are – when left unprotected and unnourished. Avoid premature aging with extra attention using quality skin nutrition.

Why LUSH Works Wonders Beyond Your Face

Our LUSH moisturizer was formulated with powerful botanical ingredients specifically chosen to balance, tone, and protect, while supporting collagen production and moisture retention – benefits that are just as crucial for your neck, chest, and hands as they are for your face!

For Your Neck & Décolletage:

The delicate skin of your neck and chest area benefits tremendously from LUSH's lightweight yet deeply hydrating formula. For younger skin, it provides environmental protection and balanced hydration without clogging pores. For those noticing changes over time, the jojoba oil mimics collagen and reduces fine lines by increasing hydration, while rosehip oil promotes actual collagen production – perfect for these areas where skin tends to thin and crease earlier than other body parts.

Marine phytoplankton delivers trace minerals and protective antioxidants that shield these constantly exposed areas from environmental damage, while the anti-inflammatory properties of lavender hydrosol and aloe vera calm any redness or irritation.

For Your Hands:

Our hands endure constant washing, sun exposure, and environmental stress. LUSH's sweet almond oil acts as an emollient to soften and recondition, while coconut oil helps retain moisture and reduces inflammation from excessive exposure. The oat extract reduces redness and irritation while stimulating collagen synthesis – exactly what hardworking hands need!

The Perfect Trio: LUSH, HYDRATE & NECTAR

While LUSH alone works wonders, combining it with our HYDRATE mist and NECTAR serum creates a customizable skincare system for our most vulnerable areas. Create your own alchemy by combining products to find your unique skin balance. With consistent use we've seen a reduction in age spots, fine line wrinkles and improved skin tone.

The Foundation: LUSH Organic Moisturizer

Evens skin tone • Heals blemishes • Promotes cell growth • Reduces puffiness

LUSH is our powerfully healing, concentrated moisturizer that absorbs beautifully without leaving greasy residue – making it perfect for the often-sensitive neck and décolletage areas as well as your busy hands.

The Amplifier: HYDRATE Moisturizing Mist

Firms and tones • Soothes and hydrates • Aids in healing sun damaged and aging skin

Our HYDRATE mist, with its star ingredient Rose Geranium hydrosol, creates the perfect canvas for LUSH application while delivering its own healing benefits through hyaluronic acid, marine phytoplankton, and willow bark extract.

The Enhancer: NECTAR Serum

Reduces fine lines • Rebuilds skin tissue • Balances natural oils

For areas needing extra attention, our NECTAR serum adds concentrated nutrition with argan oil and raspberry seed oil (which offers UV-A and UV-B protection – crucial for the often sun-exposed décolletage!).

Nourishing Application Techniques: Listen to Your Skin

At Essential Apothecary Alchemist, we believe your skin will find its natural balance when it's offered the proper nutrition. Rather than prescribing rigid routines based on traditional "skin types," we encourage you to observe your skin and respond to what it's telling you. Your skin's needs can change with seasons, stress levels, hormonal fluctuations, and environmental factors – it's a dynamic, living organ that responds to the nutrition you provide.

Responsive Customization:

When skin feels tight or appears dull: Add 2-3 drops of NECTAR serum to your LUSH application

When skin seems congested or imbalanced: Add an extra pump of HYDRATE to thin the LUSH concentration

For areas showing fine lines or needing extra attention: Apply LUSH at full strength, followed by a targeted application of NECTAR

During seasonal transitions or environmental stress: Combine all three products – HYDRATE, LUSH, and NECTAR – allowing their plant-based nutrients to work synergistically

Remember, your skin's needs aren't fixed – they evolve and change. The beauty of our plant-based formulations is that they provide the nutrition your skin requires to find its own natural balance. Rather than forcing your skin into submission with harsh chemicals, our ingredients work with your skin's innate intelligence.

Self-Care for All: Prevention & Nourishment at Any Age

Whether you're in your 20s establishing good skincare habits, in your 30s noticing the first subtle changes, or beyond and addressing more visible concerns, extending your skincare routine beyond your face is a form of self-care that pays dividends.

For Prevention-Focused Care:

Including your neck, décolletage, and hands in your routine from an early age helps establish protective barriers against environmental damage. Consistent hydration of these areas helps maintain skin resilience and elasticity before visible changes occur. The lightweight nature of LUSH makes it perfect for younger skin that needs balanced nutrition without heaviness

Areas showing early signs of dehydration or texture changes respond beautifully to LUSH's concentrated plant nutrition. Adding NECTAR to specific zones provides targeted replenishment where needed most. Using HYDRATE anywhere will help the skin absorb moisture and lock it in. The combination of all three products creates a complete nutritional system that works with your skin's changing needs over time

For Target Treatment of Fine Lines:

For those specific zones showing the first signs of aging (often the sides of the neck, upper chest, and backs of hands), continue your EAA routine, by rubbing any excess product beyond just the face!

1. Apply LUSH at full strength as you would a night cream
2. Add 2-3 drops of NECTAR to create a protective barrier
3. Press gently into areas where wrinkles are forming
4. For hands, focus on the thin skin between knuckles and on the back of the hand

The Botanical Power Trio for Head-to-Hand Beauty

What makes our three-product approach so effective for these often-neglected areas is the synergy between carefully selected botanical ingredients:

LUSH's Star Ingredients for Beyond-Face Application:

Jojoba Oil mimics collagen and reduces wrinkles by increasing hydration

Rosehip Oil contains natural Tretinoin to rebuild tissue in thin-skinned areas

Aloe Vera improves skin's natural firmness while providing weightless hydration

HYDRATE's Supportive Benefits:

Rose Geranium Hydrosol balances all skin types found on neck and chest

Hyaluronic Acid forms a moisture-locking film perfect for the drier neck area

Willow Bark Extract provides gentle toning for the often-neglected décolletage

NECTAR's Enhancing Properties:

Argan Oil prevents skin aging while reducing redness

Raspberry Seed Oil offers UV-A and UV-B protection - crucial for décolletage and hands

"I cannot wait to apply LUSH after washing my face! Along with LUSH I mix a few drops of NECTAR in the palm of my hand and have a 'morning moment' :) I include my neck, chest and finish scrunching any remnants on my hands to the ends of my hair! I can't imagine starting or ending my day without these beautiful products! BONUS - the scents give me a calm and peaceful feeling, therapy in a jar! Thank you, Kate!"

"After struggling to find a moisturizer with the perfect balance for my persnickety skin, I discovered LUSH and my face is finally happy!
