Ever despaired of wearing that strand of pearls or that delicate chain of gold? All because you were ashamed of your ugly neck? Don't worry, help is at hand. You regularly cleanse, tone and moisturise your face. Your feet are scrubbed and your hands well manicured. But ignoring your neck is sure to affect your looks. All that lack of attention will show as a darker, unsightly and if not careful, a wrinkled neck that detracts people with its sheer unseemliness. Usually, all salon treatments like facials do good to your neck. If your neck is darker than the rest of you, try bleaching but not at home. Don't forget to cleanse, tone and moisturise it. Be generous with the sunscreen lotion and the anti-wrinkle cream.

Toning the neck

1. Sit straight, erect with your chin held high. Keep your lips closed. Try and smile with only your upper lip.

Ways to prevent foot problems:

Footbath:- A footbath with a dash of bath salts is an essential routine for relaxing and soothing feeling. It does away with aches, pains and odour problems. Use a pumice stone in a gentle to and fro movement and wash off loosened skin. Thoroughly dry your feet with a soft, fluffy towel and don't forget to dry between toes. Smooth on a rich foot cream.

Footwear:- The right way to select sensible and suitable footwear is to first measure both your feet separately. Try on footwear, stand up and take a stroll around the store. If your toes are squeezed in or begin to pinch, those shoes arent for you. Try on a different pair.

Most of your foot problems are triggered off by ill fitting footwear. Narrow shoes and stiletto heels must be avoided :D Ok Ok don't gimme a punch.

Foot Exercise:- Foot Exercises are designed to keep your feet supple, relax and soothe tiredness, aches and excruciating pains. The time spent on leg and foot exercise will go a long way to keep your feet and legs looking great and problem free too.

Soothing Foot Massage:- Your legs and feet also respond to regular pampering. Give them a soothing and relaxing yourself or get it done in a parlour. The guideline to a good massage is ''the better you feel, the better you are massaging it''

Pedicure:- A pedicure forms a part of your weekly routine and must be carried out religiously to keep your feet in pristine condition and problem free too. For a simple DIY pedicure click here.
