If you ask us which part of our body we pay the least attention to, we would answer “neck” without hesitation. Although it is the neck and décolleté that speak of age much more than the face. This occurs due to differences in the structure of the skin. The skin of the neck is similar to the skin in the eyelid area – there are almost no sebaceous glands, and the subcutaneous fatty tissue is very thin, making this area vulnerable to external factors. Therefore, neck area care should firstly be simple and secondly, regular and sensitive. Below we’ve collected ten tools to help with this.
Why does neck skin age?
The first signs of neck aging appear at different ages for each person. And usually the following reasons are identified:
– Phone use. A pose with the head down creates noticeable horizontal wrinkles on the neck. This phenomenon was even given a special name – technohorn.
– Sitting in one position. Phones, laptops and tablets aren’t the only ones responsible for neck strain. When we read, eat, or work, we stay in the same position for a long time. That’s why wrinkles on the neck always appear, even during daily activities.
– Give load to the cervical spine. The skin in this area reacts when we nod our head, tilt our head, lie down, or turn our neck. However, when the muscles can easily bear the load, the skin loses its firmness and elasticity over time.
Top 10 neck care products
Subtlety is important when caring for the skin of your neck. Therefore, you should not use aggressive products such as peeling or alcoholic micellar water. It is better to give preference to enzyme powders (for peeling), creams containing hyaluronic acid and other moisturizing ingredients. Apply a mask once or twice a week for additional skin nutrition. In general, neck skin care should include the same steps as facial care; cleansing, toning and moisturizing. However, it is important to ensure that the products are softer and less traumatic.
