As the years go by, expression marks begin to appear and, with them, wrinkles on the neck. But it is possible to alleviate them!
As the years pass and age advances, it is normal for wrinkles and expression marks to begin to appear. These dreaded marks appear mainly on the face and chest. This occurs because our body reduces the production of collagen, a substance that supports the skin, leaving it firm. In this way, the skin becomes more flaccid and sensitive and wrinkles appear on the neck, chest and face.
First of all, it is important to understand that this is a natural movement in our lives, wrinkles are part of the aging process. As the skin begins to absorb less liquid over the years, hydration becomes even more important, especially in this region where the presence of sebaceous glands is smaller. That said, skin care routines are important at all stages of life, not only to keep your skin smooth, but also healthy.
It is from the age of 40 that the appearance of wrinkles becomes greater. However, it is possible to reduce and prevent the deepening of wrinkles on the neck and expression marks on the face with a skin care and protection routine.
Furthermore, it is common for most skin care to be concentrated on the face, eye area and around the mouth, but it is important to remember that the décolletage and neck area are as sensitive as the skin on the face. That’s why we’ve brought you a list of precautions you can take to avoid wrinkles on your neck.
How to avoid neck wrinkles
Hydration is essential to avoid neck wrinkles
Just like the face, the neck is also an area that is extremely exposed to friction, pollution and UV rays on a daily basis. However, it is still often forgotten in skincare routines. Therefore, this is one of the first places where expression marks, also called “collar”, another name for wrinkles on the neck, begin to appear.
Therefore, daily water consumption must be at least 2 liters and hydration of the skin in the neck area must be intense. Furthermore, when choosing products for this part of the body, remember to opt for moisturizers for the face and not for the body.
Another important tip is to prefer denser moisturizers throughout the day, to increase protection. Therefore, it is important to hydrate the region after bathing, when the skin absorbs the substances from the products better.
The neck also needs sunscreen
Without sunscreen combined with care routines, it is almost impossible to avoid dryness and marks caused by the sun’s rays. Therefore, always remember to apply sunscreen to the neck and chest area on a daily basis. As these regions are also very sensitive, lack of attention to them can harm the skin’s texture and even tone.
Furthermore, as already mentioned, when choosing sunscreen to apply to the neck, choose those specialized in facial skin care and not body skin care.
Bet on dermocosmetics for wrinkles
Currently, there are treatments for wrinkles and expression marks. Furthermore, the cosmetics market already has a variety of anti-aging products that can be used to avoid and reduce expression lines, wrinkles on the neck, around the eyes, mouth and forehead.
Therefore, look for a specialist to help you better understand your skin and find the most appropriate treatment to combat wrinkles and prevent the appearance of new marks.
Healthy eating prevents neck wrinkles
Skin health comes mainly from what our body consumes daily, which is why diet is such an important factor in keeping your skin looking good. Therefore, add foods rich in antioxidants, as this substance acts against free radicals responsible for reducing our collagen production.
Furthermore, nutrients such as vitamins C, B and E are rich in antioxidants and are therefore great for preventing the early appearance of wrinkles on the neck and face. Invest in citrus and red fruits, green tea, flaxseed, olive oil and maintain the health and beauty of your skin.
Massage the neck region
A technique that can enhance skin products and help reduce wrinkles on the neck is massage. During skincare, remember to exfoliate the area well and give it a thorough massage as well. Furthermore, use specialized products, such as anti-wrinkle products, that act when you sleep, massaging well at the time of application.
To do this, start with light taps just with your fingertips on the neck area. Then, using the palm of your hands, with more pressure, always moving towards the face.
Pay attention to your posture
Another simple way to avoid marks on the neck is to maintain ideal posture in everyday life. With the popularity of smartphones, it is common to spend hours a day with your head lowered, which can also be very harmful to the skin on your neck. Therefore, spending so much time using your cell phone can contribute to the appearance of “collar”.
Therefore, do your best to maintain a more upright posture throughout your day and keep your head lowered as little as possible, preventing wrinkles from forming on your neck.
