Neck Skincare is Just as Important as Facial Skincare

Generally we are most concerned with the aesthetic appearance of our face, whether it’s fine lines, complexion or pigmentation. It is ideally what we look at the most, isn’t it? Therefore we tend to invest in treatments and products to address only that part for those concerns. However, what we often overlook or neglect is our… neck or décolleté. Pictures of women who have had amazing results with a facelift but their age can be easily guessed based on the condition of their neck comes to mind!

Reasons why our neck can show aging:

1. Neck is almost always exposed – not often do we wear turtlenecks in the summer to offer protection from sun exposure and environmental factors. How often do you remember to apply sunscreen on neck just as you do on your face?

2. Skin on the neck is very thin – the skin around the neck is thin compared to other areas of the body. This means that once age sets in, the appearance of the neck can deteriorate pretty quickly. Neck wrinkles will form without notice, and before you know it, the neck skin will be sagging. Do you always spread your facial products down to your neck/décolleté to help treat? Or do you use a specified neck cream?

Consider the following:

Protect your neck with sunscreen or a big fashionable beach hat when the occasion calls

Use a little extra product on your face and spread down the remaining to your décolleté
