The legendary Coco Chanel called a woman's neck a passport. And there is nothing better when the pages of this passport are not tattered. However, most often they become treacherously thinner, forcing their owners to cover the wrinkles that have appeared on the neck either with a massive necklace, or with a multi-colored scarf, or even hide them under a deaf collar of a dress. But the neck can remain a swan for a long time, if only you follow simple rules.
Method #1. Special care: pamper and nourish the skin of the neck
The skin of the neck needs special care. In this area, it is very thin, moreover, it is characterized by reduced activity of adipose glands. Therefore, the usual soap is not suitable for cleansing. It is better to use cosmetic milk or cleanser.
Neck cream up to 30 years old can be used as a moisturizer. But for ladies of a more respectable age, it is better to choose those creams that contain active nutrients.
Once a week it is good to make masks for the neck. In addition, you can periodically nourish the skin with olive oil or sour cream.
You can make your own anti-aging and whitening masks for the neck. For example, grind 100 g of fat sour cream with 1 yolk, pour in 1 tsp. vodka. Add grated fresh cucumber to the resulting mass and pour in the juice of half a lemon. Refrigerate for a couple of days and then use.
• Sour cream and yolk help to rejuvenate the skin, while lemon and cucumber juice whiten it.
After cleansing, it is good to do a little neck massage. For example, pat on the chin with a towel soaked in water or make a few stroking movements on the neck from the bottom up.
Method #2. Special exercise: tone the skin and prevent wrinkles
Cosmetic products allow you to keep the skin in good shape and prevent the appearance of wrinkles, but they are not able to cope with them. For this purpose, it is better to use special serums and anti-cellulite creams. And also — do gymnastics for the neck, the exercises of which are aimed at strengthening the lateral muscles.

• With outstretched lips, pronounce the vowels A, O, I, U, S. This exercise helps to strengthen the broad muscles of the neck.
• Clamp a teaspoon with your teeth (you can take another object, for example, a toothbrush) and draw geometric shapes with it in the air, while stretching your chin forward.
• Place your palms on your forehead. Lower your head down, while resisting with your palms until you feel tension in the neck muscles.
• Support the head from below with joined fists. Press them on the chin from the bottom up. Try to throw your head back and at the same time try to keep it motionless due to the tension of the lateral muscles of the neck.
Method #3. Best girlfriend — girl pillow: anti-wrinkle
The right pillow is not only a guarantee of good sleep, but also an anti-aging agent.
The fact is that sleep is not only the best medicine, but also a rejuvenating agent, because during it the skin regenerates. But if mechanical injuries are caused to her under the influence of an incorrect posture, then their result will soon appear on the neck in the form of unwanted wrinkles.
How to choose a pillow for perfect sleep:
• the height of the pillow is directly proportional to the width of the shoulders: the wider they are, the higher it is;
• the rigidity of the pillow depends on the position in the dream: the most rigid — when sleeping on your side, medium hard — on the back, soft — on the stomach;
• anatomic pillows should be used by those who have problems in the neck (including the skin). Orthopedic pillows are intended only for the treatment of cervical osteochondrosis.

Method #4. Remember the neckline: clean, moisturize and nourish
Many ladies, when caring for their necks, make one big mistake. They completely forget about the decollete zone, which, due to its thinness and almost no subcutaneous fat, is very vulnerable and prone to premature aging. That is why it needs special care. It, just like the neck, needs to be groomed and cherished: cleansed, moisturized, and after 25 years, completely nourished.
What harms the skin of the decollete:
- soaps, hard washcloths, rough scrubs injure the skin and break its protective barrier;
- A hot bath or shower can weaken the skin;
- tight or uncomfortable bras disrupt the lymph and blood circulation of this zone;
- Sharp fluctuations in weight contribute to "stretch marks".
After we have ruled out dangerous effects on this area, it is worth determining what manipulations should be performed in order to be able to wear low-cut dresses.
Choose neutral pH cleansing gels. Please note that they should not contain soap, but they must have moisturizing ingredients in their composition. The area of this area is prone to dehydration.
For cleansing, use gentle scrubs for sensitive facial skin. They are perfect for the neckline.
Give preference to creams that contain moisturizing and moisture-retaining ingredients, as well as nourishing and regenerating ingredients (vegetable oils, amino acids, vitamins).
Do a light self-massage in the décolleté area with a soft terry mitten (two to three times a week). Also, do not refuse the "water massage"; contrast shower.
