Women can spend a lot of time and energy on facial and hair care. But the skin of the neck requires no less attention: it also needs cleansing, moisturizing and nutrition. After all, it is this part of the body, as well as the décolleté area, that betrays your true age. You can try to hide your true age, but the loose skin of the neck will still "give out" the truth. And the thing is that the skin in this area is softer than on the face. As well as the area around the eyes, the neck has practically no sebaceous glands, it is more often subjected to dehydration, which leads to flabbiness and the appearance of transverse wrinkles. And the opinion that neck care should be started by the age of 40 & ndash; 50 is absolutely not true.
The skin loses its tone: causes of the phenomenon
If you are into diets, your body has to work in an extreme mode: it's like a rollercoaster (when you lose weight, then after a while your weight "goes off the wall" again). And in this case, you will not envy the delicate skin of the neck. But if you want to look young, your diet should be rational and include a lot of vegetables, cereals, fish, not too fatty meat. Thus, the skin cells will be provided with all the necessary nutrients.
In addition, even an incorrect bite can affect the decrease in skin tone. Another "culprit" folds in the neck area, as well as the second chin, is an incorrect posture. Weather conditions also have a negative effect on the skin of the neck. wind, sun, frost, temperature changes – and climatic costs (for example, it has been established that the inhabitants of the middle latitudes have more elastic skin than the inhabitants of the southern and northern latitudes).
Those who like to constantly hide their necks because of wrinkles under scarves, shawls or clothes with a high neck, harm her health: from such a "masquerade" the skin becomes even drier, which threatens with a final loss of tone.
You should also pay attention to whether you sleep correctly: in this case, we mean the use of a pillow. If it is high, then you should not expect your neck to look fresh and toned. In general, ideally – sleep without a pillow.
Let's not leave any chance for aging to the neck
How to ensure the proper care of the neck, so as not to let it grow old? There are many methods for this.
Wraps
Wrapping procedures will keep the skin silky for a long time, make it soft and protect against the appearance of wrinkles. We offer one of the recipes. Cut the overripe cucumbers, remove the seeds and separate the semi-liquid pulp. Then apply it on the neck, cover with gauze, which should be folded in several layers. Leave the application for half an hour, then rinse with cool water and finish with a nourishing cream.
Contrast compresses
They will help prevent the appearance of a second chin. The procedure must be performed 2 times a week. Soak a towel in hot or cool water and apply to the chin and neck. The first compress lasts about 2 minutes, and the second – 5–10 seconds. The procedure is repeated at least five times.
However, such compresses are excluded for diseases of the thyroid gland.
Masks
You can make them yourself from simple products and without much effort.
Masks made from oats, potatoes, eggs, carrots, yeast will help you moisturize the dry skin of the neck and provide it with proper nutrition.
A paraffin mask also has a wonderful rejuvenating effect. To achieve the desired effect, it should be done at least 2 & ndash; 3 times a week, and all you need to "pass" up to 15 procedures.
Cosmetic wax is melted in a water bath. The layer of such a mask should be at least 2 cm and it should be kept for about 20 minutes. (be sure to remove the water from the paraffin and apply the mask only on dry skin). When the mask has hardened, remove it with a medical spatula.
And, of course, in such an important matter as caring for the neck, you cannot do without special exercises.
Take care of your neck skin as often as you brush your teeth, do it regularly and stay young forever.
