Your skin care routine ends at your jaw line – Are you guilty of neglecting your neck when you apply your skin care products? Our necks can be one of the most telltale signs of aging, so it’s definitely worth giving it a bit of attention!
UV rays – Apply sunscreen (ideally factor 50) to your neck every day, rain or shine, indoors or out. The sun is the number one cause of skin damage and it isn’t just about slathering yourself in cream when you hit the beach!
Slow down in Collagen production – Sadly it is just a fact that collagen production drops as we pass through our 30s, and not only that, but our existing collagen also breaks down…ingesting collagen supplements (supplements are not all equal) can benefit the body as a whole and anecdotally, many report good results for the face and neck.
What else can you do to reduce and delay signs of aging?
Massage your neck – There are a number of massage techniques that can greatly improve the appearance of your neck. By massaging, you are increasing the blood flow; therefore, feeding the skin with the oxygen and nutrients it needs to look healthy. Massage can also boost collagen production and tone the muscle.
Once you have some techniques under your belt, why not add them to your skincare routine, as you apply your products?
Exercise your Platysma neck muscle – This sheet-like muscle that runs up both sides of the neck hugely benefits from a workout! Strengthening and toning the muscle will plump up the appearance of the skin above, our techniques also tone and define the jawline. A word of caution: it is really important to do these techniques correctly so not to put strain on the neck.
Create ideal conditions for collagen production – Whilst we may make less collagen as we age, we can certainly do everything to maximize the conditions for production. Eating lots of Vitamin C is a great way to do this as it is needed to synthesize collagen production, and stay hydrated!!
Avoid pollutants – Smoking is very damaging to collagen, so that’s definitely a habit to avoid, but do what you can to protect yourself from air pollution; get out into clean air as often as you can, and wear an anti-pollutant formula every day if you live in an urban area.
The takeaway lesson for today? Don’t despair! There is so much you can do to prevent and even reduce signs of aging in the neck…if you are ready to take it seriously (and by seriously, we mean a few minutes a day!), then we are ready to help you! Check out our membership options today!
