As we age, our skin will gradually change, becoming a map that tells what we have experienced throughout our lives.
Dark spots from sunny days, wrinkles smile from good times with friends and family. Decades of late nights, study and hard work, sleepless nights and life with children will eventually begin to show on your face, on your hands – and on your neck.
And suddenly you start to notice them. Skin changes such as lines, wrinkles or spots are completely natural. But not always easy to accept.
Fortunately, your skin is resilient and strong. And with simple steps, your skin can regain some of its elasticity and radiance — and feel softer, smoother and tighter again. Also on the neck.
The skin on the neck and chest is often forgotten, and lines and wrinkles form faster.
The skin here is thinner than the rest of the body, has fewer sebaceous glands, and thus becomes drier. The neck is also in constant motion and is therefore more prone to developing signs of aging such as flabby skin and wrinkles.
Here are 5 simple tricks to tighten the skin on the neck:
1. Sleep on your back
The way you sleep can actually affect the skin on your neck.
If you usually sleep on your stomach, you might consider trying sleeping on your back.
Sleeping on your back not only helps prevent wrinkles that form when your skin sags, but it also ensures that the skin care products you use stay where they need to be-and don’t end up in your bed sheet.
When you sleep on your stomach, your face and neck are pressed into the pillow, creating lines and wrinkles. You may have noticed the pillow marks on your face in the morning from time to time? Over time, they can contribute to the development of permanent wrinkles.
On the other hand, sleeping on your back reduces pressure on your neck and allows your skin to breathe, contributing to smoother, firmer skin.
2. Exercise
Like the rest of your body, your neck also benefits from regular exercise.
The muscles in this area also lose strength over time. Simple exercises involving your neck and throat muscles can help counteract this.
Sit with your back straight and your chin pointing upward. Open your mouth and stretch your lower lip over your teeth.
Contract your neck and throat muscles by opening and closing your mouth slowly and controlled. Repeat this exercise 10 to 15 times a day to strengthen the neck muscles. Regular exercises can contribute to firmer skin and a more defined neck contour.
3. Remember skin care for neck and décolleté
Many people pay a lot of attention to the skin on the face, but neglect the neck. The neck is an extension of your face and is equally susceptible to age-related changes. The skin here obviously deserves just as much care and attention.
Exfoliating your skin is an important part of your skin care routine to maintain healthy skin, and this applies to the neck as well.
When you exfoliate your face, you can also apply some to your neck to remove dead skin cells and stimulate skin renewal.
This not only contributes to healthier, firmer skin, but also improves the absorption of skin care products. A smoother surface allows skin care products to penetrate deeper into the skin and enhance the effectiveness of ingredients.
Vessi Neck & Chest Refining Cream is a moisturizing and firming cream specially formulated for the skin of the neck and décolleté. It contains a combination of oat seed oil, betaine and hyaluronic acid that soothes and hydrates the skin. Niacinamide and blueberry seed oil help even out the complexion and reduce visible signs of aging. It also contains salicylic acid, which gently exfoliates the skin.
4. Apply skin care products in upward motions-never downward.
Gravity is constantly pulling on your skin-it does so without you having to help it. When you apply Vessi Neck & Chest Refining Cream, massage it in upward strokes to reduce flabby skin. Start at the chest or lower neck and apply upward toward the chin.
5. Use a face roller to increase lymphatic drainage.
A face roller, or gua sha tool, can help drain swollen skin and stimulate both circulation and collagen production.
Apply Vessi Neck & Chest Refining Cream first, so the device will glide more easily over the skin. Then, gently roll or glide upward toward the chin. Work against the force of gravity. Repeat this process 5 to 10 times a day to tighten the skin and reduce the visibility of fine lines.
If you follow these 5 tricks regularly, it will help make the skin on your neck and décolleté softer, smoother, and firmer.
