Face it! You’ve probably paid too much attention to the creases and spots quickly manifesting one-by-one on your face but, have generally forgotten to tone and tighten skin on the neck until there obviously was a need to facilitate skin repair and recovery from sagging and wrinkles. However, if you’re still wondering whether or not your neck skin indeed deserves a special brand of care then, that means you’re still not convinced it could give away your age too.

Why Won’t A Regular Moisturizer Work On Neck Skin?

Simply taking your facial routine down to your neck skin may be sufficient when you’re in your 20’s or younger. When you’re already faced with natural causes of aging and your matured skin is already working against you, however, you need to give your neck skin something more. Below are the top reasons why your neck skin requires extra special care as you get older:

1. Your neck skin is constantly exposed to the sun. It is a fact that can incredibly go unnoticed for decades. Just think about it, your neck skin is just as exposed to harmful UVA and UVB, the top causes of skin aging other than old age, and yet you probably haven’t been religiously using protection or, upping your neck skin’s treatment just as you have been consistently caring for your face.
2. Your neck skin takes more time to recover from damage.In fact, your neck skin heals longer than the skin on your face. This fact makes damage prevention an important strategy when caring for your neck skin.
3. Your neck skin has a unique orientation.Its vertical arrangement makes it highly vulnerable to signs of aging caused by the Earth’s strong gravitational pull, most notably skin sagging.
4. Your neck skin is thick. Products that you use to heal, treat and spoil the skin on your face with may not work as effectively to soothe skin on your neck. This fact makes it imperative that you give your neck skin products formulated specially to complement its naturally different structure and texture.

How To Beat Sagging Neck Skin?

You should keep in mind that your neck skin, just like the skin on your face and elsewhere on your body, will age, sag, wrinkle, and show other signs of skin aging over time, no matter what measures you take to stop these from happening. With the right combination of preventative and treatment strategies to tighten neck skin, however, you should be able to effectively delay the inevitable consequences of skin aging. Here are some tips to achieve younger looking neck skin:

1.  Protect: Add sunscreen to your regimen.One of your best anti-aging allies is a high-performance sunscreen that will do more to shield your skin from the damaging effects of UV without inflicting unnecessary damage to your skin.
2.  Heal: Exfoliate your neck skin regularly. Exfoliation is generally good for any type of skin and any part of your body. Help facilitate faster skin regeneration and turnovers by regularly eliminating dead and damaged skin cells on the surface of your neck skin. Exfoliating regularly helps improve the rate and volume of collagen naturally produced by your skin, which makes it even more imperative when caring for aging skin.
3. Plump: Apply moisturizing products specially formulated for use on neck skin. Achieve instantly plumper, smoother, and fuller skin texture by adding a neck lotion or moisturizer to your routine. Protect with antioxidants, rebuild with ceramides, heal with aloe and peptides, and treat with Vitamin A derivatives like retinol or, prescription retinoids.
4. Boost: Give your neck skin a boost by signing up for a procedure. For newer and mild or moderate cases of sagging skin, and if you’re still relatively young, there’s generally no need to undergo skin surgery to improve the appearance of loose neck skin. There are several non-invasive and minimally invasive procedures that can help your neck skin finally cope and even get ahead of damage so that healing and recovery can happen faster than degradation. Below are just a handful of the procedures that you may consider to help heal and rejuvenate your aging neck skin:

• Radio Frequency Therapy.This procedure’s main benefit is skin tightening. It can give your skin a firmer and tighter contour. The procedure works by delivering deep-penetrating radio waves that stimulate the deeper layers of your skin to produce higher amounts of collagen fibers at significantly faster rates.
• Laser Skin Tightening. Laser treatments work by delivering light at very specific wavelengths to target very precisely the damaged patches on particular layers of your skin. For correcting sagging neck skin, laser-based procedures are often combined with radiofrequency therapy. The high accuracy of the laser makes it possible to heal damaged skin while also leaving healthy skin cells intact. When combined with completely non-invasive radiofrequency treatments, collagen is significantly improved without unnecessarily doing damage to your skin.
• Chemical Peels.Yes, these helpful but, sometimes, painful procedures work wonders for your neck skin as well. Your skin care specialist will recommend a chemical solution that will heal your saggy neck skin depending on your skin type, your tolerance to chemicals, and based on the severity of your skin issues.

5. Pamper and tone: Use home-concocted remedies and neck exercises.Use naturally concocted solutions to rehydrate your neck skin, including ingredients such as aloe, honey, yogurt and essential oils for masking and moisturizing your skin. Neck exercises, likewise, help strengthen your neck muscles and shape your neck skin in the process. Below are some neck exercises that you can try:

• Lean back as far as you can, hands on your collar bones.
• Rotate your neck clockwise then, counter-clockwise.
• Look sideways, pause on center, then up and down, pause on center.

Conclusion

Saggy and wrinkled neck skin can easily give away your age. Pay closer attention to this part of your body when your skin care strategy includes delaying the signs of skin aging for as long as you can.
