Reddit user Savorie offered several anti-aging tips for women in their 20s.

The 46-year-old shared in a post the beauty items you should start integrating as soon as possible that have nothing to do with your face.

She said women around 27 are "so lucky" because they can start early on the "greatest anti-aging cream" of all - sunscreen.

"Use it not only on your face but also your neck and chest," she recommended.

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

Savorie knows firsthand what happens when you don't prioritize SPF all over.

"I have a wrinkle-free face, but my chest is a sun-damaged nightmare, thanks to my habit of wearing V-necks all through my 20s when I lived in Florida," she admitted.

She added that no one warned her about putting sun protection on her chest and neck, even when you're not at the beach.

"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 recommended.

"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.

For more targeted advice, Savorie said that there was "nothing wrong" with consulting a dermatologist for "custom advice" or help to craft a basic regimen for your skin texture.
