"Chest and neck. This is so true," another Redditor agreed.

Savorie knows firsthand what happens when you don't prioritize applying SPF all over your bare skin.

"For extra bonus points, use it on the tops of your hands habitually, and your hands will be the envy of all your girlfriends when you're 70," she said.

"Hands as well! I'm 31 and really wishing I applied sunscreen there as well as my face!" another Reddit user advised.

If you're in your late 20s, the Redditor said that you probably have "very few visible signs of aging."

"Chances are you don't need a big regimen. You can just do basic things to maintain the great skin and structure you have now," she said.

But if you have any particular skin concerns, such as redness, acne, or dark circles, she said it's fine to target them because "managing them" will boost your anti-aging strategy.

Savorie dubbed "prevention" and "knowledge" as your best weapon against signs of aging so you don't have regrets down the road.

She said it was vital to find out which parts of your skin show your age first.

It could be your neck, chest, hands, or elbows, but "it rarely starts with your face."

"Take good care of those areas with daily sunscreen, daily moisturizers, or lotions," she added.

For facial care, she suggested opting for gels, serums, and light lotions instead of heavy creams and oils, unless you have serious dryness or flakiness.

Also, she said there were two things to "figure out" early on in your skincare routine.

First, they are the areas with the thinnest skin on your face, like the eye sockets and lips.

Also, be mindful of whether or not your skin is sensitive because those with it have special needs for what ingredients it can tolerate.

Above all, she said to pay attention to your face over the years and look for the first places that start to show a little laxity, and "give them a little more love."

But she warned not to become obsessive about it.

"You don't want skincare or image issues to take over your life!" she added.
