I hate to admit it, but I am a Real Housewives of Beverly Hills addict. Each Tuesday my DVR is set to record the usual train wreck that precedes this cult-following reality series. I’m not surprised by the outlandish drama that goes on, but what I am surprised by is the amount of sun damage these plastic surgery junkies have.
The majority of the housewives are in their forties, but you’d never guess it. Despite their efforts to look younger (including overblown lip injections, obvious forehead lifts, extreme Botox and fillers, etc.), most of the women actually look quite a bit older than their real age—tan skin, neon pink lipstick and all.
I find it odd that the housewives put so much emphasis on having cosmetic procedures done on their face, but yet they make little to no effort to take care of their sun-damaged wrinkly necks and leathery, brown-speckled décolletages. This exemplifies the point that you cannot have it both ways: All the fillers, injections, and lifts available will never look convincing if you continue to damage your skin in the sun.
As diligent as I am about wearing sunscreen, I still sometimes forget certain areas like the neck, chest, and hands. Seeing the leathery-skinned housewives of Beverly Hills reminds me what a big mistake that is. Because those areas are constantly exposed to UV light, they blatantly show the telltale signs of sun damage if not adequately protected. Let the sun-drenched skin of the Beverly Hills housewives serve as a reminder for us all: Don’t neglect your neck, chest, and hands when it comes to sun protection!
In my office we have a saying, “Your face starts at your boobs” meaning how you take care of your face should extend all the way down to your chest. To find out more info check out this article on why Anti-Aging Shouldn’t Stop at Your Face.
