Yes, even if you're past your acne-prone years. As you go about your day, your face picks up environmental debris, like dirt and other pollution-related skin saboteurs.

In addition to your face, smooth your serums and moisturizers down your neck, over your décolletage and even on your hands to keep everyone guessing your age.
