We all know that ageing of the skin is a natural process and can be easily divided into natural ageing and photo ageing. While it’s impossible to stop ageing clock but there’s still a possibility to prolong the same. We might take extra measures to prevent wrinkles from creeping on your face but do you pay attention to what’s below? It’s true that your skin on your face and neck is very similar and as we age and get exposed to environmental factors like pollution and sun damage, our skin loses its elasticity. 

Ultimately, this causes your skin to fine lines, wrinkles, sag, and causes folds. Well, yes, we still tend to ignore the neck and only focus on the facial skincare routine. It’s well said that you can tell a person’s real age by looking at their neck as it is one of the most neglected areas in our skincare routines. Wrinkles and fine lines tend to show if you don’t take your cleanser, toner, serum, and moisturizer down to your neck after slathering your face with each of the products. 

Skincare products aren’t just meant for your face but it’s time that you show some love to your neck too. If you don’t exfoliate and moisturizer your neck often, trust us it will age quickly, and to prevent premature ageing, we have got you covered. 

What Causes Neck Lines Or Wrinkles? 

Necklines are caused by the combination of daily activities we engage in and natural ageing. Those horizontal lines which you see on your neck are caused by the same factors that cause wrinkles on your face. Our daily activities weaken our skin foundation that leads to skin folding and wrinkles that stick around the rest of our lives.

We understand that wrinkles, fine lines, and necklines are a normal part of ageing but they are caused when your skin loses its elasticity and is exposed to UVA rays over time. Well, all the time in the world which you spend scrolling through your Instagram isn’t helping you. You know why? The more we engage in activities that tend to fold our skin, the wrinkles and earlier lines will start to set in. This is also a major fact that we can see contributing to the increase in neck wrinkles is majorly in the younger generation as they spend most of their time on their iPhone (well, android too). 

Can Exercise Help Prevent Neck Sagging?

Sorry to disappoint but it’s not always that exercise can help you to prevent neck sagging. But if you are in your initial stage, you can do exercise like head raises as it helps you to stretch your neck muscles and firm your neck skin. Next is the cow face as it helps you to reduce your jowls as this totally defines your jawlines and supports your blood circulation for that instant and radiant glow on the skin. 

One can also take the help of some facial tools like Gua Sha and Face rollers or some treatments that can help your neck fight the good skin fight against all the gravity. 

Ways One Can Reduce Wrinkles On Neck

If you’ve checked the mirror and you were alarmed by your neck’s appearance, well don’t panic. There are several treatment options and skincare products to minimize neck wrinkles effectively. But, prevention is always better than cure. Here are some of the beauty tips that will not only prevent wrinkles on the neck but will also improve the texture of the skin.

Exfoliation Is Important! 

How many of you exfoliate your neck whenever you exfoliate your face? If you don’t from now on, make it a habit to apply the face scrub to your face and neck and gently massage in circular motions. Klairs Gentle Black Sugar Facial Polish 110g melts away pore-clogging and removes all the dead skin cells, leaving your skin clean and soft. With this action, it will make you get rid of all the dirt and dead skin cells stuck on your face and neck. Well, well, don’t forget to moisturize your skin too! 

Always Always Moisturize

Whenever you are choosing a moisturizer for your neck, always opt for an oil-free one. As it will not clog your pores but it will make your skin on the neck soft, supple, and smooth for sure. It’s Skin Pure Moisture Gel 100ml is a gel-based nourishing cream that intensely hydrates your skin and protects it from all the environmental stressors. 

Wondering what’s the best time to apply a cream to your neck? Well, moisturize your neck after back when the skin is damp as it is more absorbent during that time. Keep in mind that if you have dry skin on the skin it can lead to inflammation and acne. Make it a habit of moisturizing your skin every day as it soothes your skin and keeps it hydrated and nourished all day long. 

Never Skip Sunscreen

One of the primary causes of necklines and wrinkles is exposure to harmful UV rays. UV radiation is one of the major causes of tanning, skincare, and premature ageing. Even if you are staying indoors, it is important for you to wear sunscreen daily (also suggested by a dermatologist). And the same routine goes for your skin and we suggest you Suntique I’m Tone Up Multibase as it comes with SPF 50+ that defends your skin from harmful UV rays and creates a clean and bright complexion.

Every dermatologist suggests that you should invest in sunscreens with SPF 30 and above as it would help to keep your skin protected and safe. Also, if you can, try to avoid staying under the sun when it is harshest. 

Indulge In Nutritious, Well-Balanced Diet

While you are taking care of your skin from the outside, it is equally important to nourish it from the inside as well. It is well said, we are what we eat, so mind what goes in your mouth. You should get enough Vitamin A, C, E by eating fresh vegetables and fruits, or if you want one can consider taking supplements too. Go for food that’s enriched in omega-3 fatty acids as it helps to keep your skin plump. For example- walnuts, salmon, and avocados are some of the nutrient-enriched food that you should have. 

Include A Vitamin C Serum
