Your Neck is in Check! Tips for Aging

While most people are opting for facials, medical grade skincare and non-surgical treatments to have smooth and relaxed creases on their faces, the neck remains widely neglected. So why does this happen? The answer is simply that people don’t often think about treating their neck because it is not something that people pay as much attention to compared to their faces.

It is important to say that most people ages can be guessed by looking at their neck! If you spend hundreds of pounds to have a youthful face but you ignore your neck, then mission abolished.

Before we dive into the treatment options, it is important to acknowledge that neck lines are a normal aspect of the aging process. However, there is a number of internal and external factors that accelerate the appearance of those lines and wrinkles. While it is difficult to avoid internal factors such as genes and skin type, simply avoiding the external ones can improve neck appearance significantly. Such external factors include exposure to harmful UV light without sun protection, smoking, excessive alcohol intake and lack of sleep/exercise.

So how can I keep my aging neck looking youthful?

Here are some tips if you follow them you will notice a huge improvement in the way your aging neck looks and totally free of charge!

1.      Keep a correct posture!

We all know the importance of maintaining a good posture for all health aspects but there is another reason to add to the list, good posture reduces lines and wrinkles on your neck!

2.      Use your skincare products on your neck too!

The skin on the neck is an extension of the face although thinner, so apply the same products onto your neck and no you do not need to buy specific neck products. Make sure you apply your moisturiser and SPF to your neck daily.

3.      Exfoliation is not a negotiation!

Exfoliation helps remove the dead skin and keep your skin healthy. Make sure you avoid harsh exfoliants and you only need to exfoliate once a week as your neck skin is thin.

4.      Message your skin upward!

Use upward motions to message your neck and while applying skincare products. This will help rejuvenate sagging skin.

 5.      Reduce time on your tech devices!
