The neck is one of the parts of the body that most betrays age . If you take care of your face, why not pay attention to its extension as well? Yes, because the neck continues to be the continuation of the face, and suffers from wrinkles and sagging like this.

Extend your facial cleansing

Use specific cosmetics
If the sagging is mild, daily use of firming creams improves the look considerably. The most effective firming actives are retinoids (retinol and retinaldehyde), silicon, soy proteins and petids. If the flaccidity is muscular, the creams are insufficient and one would have to resort to aesthetic treatments. And if the problem is that the double chin has already made an appearance (due to family predisposition or being overweight), it is best to combine creams with caffeine (an active ingredient that reduces fat) with appliances in beauty centers.
The sunscreen, essential
One of the big mistakes when we put sunscreen on our face is not lowering our hands to our necks. And we have already commented that the skin here is much thinner, so an excess of unprotected sun will cause vertical wrinkles. Don't leave home without it!

When you apply the cream, spend a couple of minutes in a small and effective massage. Make fast passes and always in an upward direction, alternating hands. Then, put your hands under your chin and slide them down your jaw to your temples three times. Finally, give light pinches in the same direction.

On the neck and cleavage, make diagonal passes (crossed) from the base of the neck towards the clavicle with up and down movements. You will also find serums that incorporate a roll-on to exert a massage while you apply it.
Team up with makeup
In addition to using your specific creams daily, you can hide the incipient double chin with the help of contouring. Apply the darkest powders under the jaw, blending towards the neck and use the lightest just above this area to highlight. Always direct the brush from the outside towards the chin.
Avoid the "tech collar"
Continued use of mobile phones and tablets forces us to keep our heads down for a long time, which favors the appearance of wrinkles in this area. This has been called tech neck or technological neck. To slow them down, do neck stretching exercises or keep your head up while using your mobile.
What pillow do you sleep on?
Maybe it hasn't even crossed your mind, but think that sleeping with very high pillows can also promote wrinkles in the neck due to a poor head position.
And if the wrinkles have not yet appeared …
It is better prevent. Do not forget to hydrate and nourish the neck to compensate for the lack of water and lipids in this area. Use a creamy but not sticky cream twice a day .
Clara trick
Before the cream, a serum
If you apply an antioxidant serum before your neck firming, you will combat free radicals caused by the sun and enhance the action of the cream.
