We all develop and evolve our beauty routines according to our skin types’ needs and personal preferences. The way we take care of our faces is important, but nearly enough to maintain a youthful complexion and flair. I tend to
think that our necks get neglected often, maybe not entirely, but just don’t get the same amount of attention and care as the face. Unfortunately, necks give away a woman’s age right away.
To slow down aging process on our necks, we need to stimulate the blood flow to this area, moisturize and protect it. So whichever care you usually give to your face, you need to extent down to your neck and chest. When you cleanse or exfoliate your face, do so to your neck as well. Apply moisturizer twice daily (morning and night). Sometimes we use less product on our necks than on our faces, but we should be slathering enough for a good hydration. Tap moisturizer into skin with the tips of your fingers until it sinks in, but don’t rub.
Skin on the neck has to look smooth, soft and hydrated. It’s very sensitive, that’s why it can develop premature wrinkles and sagging without proper care. The main thing here is to avoid dryness at all times and protect our skin from sun damage by wearing a good amount of sunscreen pronto. I don’t think that anybody needs to invest into special neck treatments, because all face moisturizers, serums or concentrates work just as well. All you need to do is never miss a day to apply them.
Also, spending around 10 minutes a day on special neck-firming exercises pays off quite well. The best part about this is that you don’t need any special equipment to do them, they are easy and can be done anywhere. These exercises help to strengthen neck muscles and tighten up the skin at the same time:
- Bring your neck down to your chest slowly, then raise it slowly and bend backwards as far as you can. Repeat 10 times.
- Turn neck on your right side as low as you can without moving your shoulders. Then turn it on the left side. Do 10 reps of each.
- Turn your head to the left and back as far as you can, without moving your body. Alternate with turning it to the right. Do 10 repetitions.
