Aging gracefully is just as much about protecting your skin as it is about an age appropriate style. Try the best neck skin care tips to hide signs of aging.
Caring for your neck can be just as important as maintaining the
youthful look of your face if you're planning on aging gracefully.
Check out some of the best neck skin care tips and options
to keep your looks.
Dealing with Wrinkles
Sun damage can cause wrinkles on your neck skin as you age,
especially if you don't use sunscreen regularly on your entire
neckline. When you're looking for the right anti-aging cream, focus
on what you need to build collagen for a smoother skin. Must have
ingredients in any products for neck wrinkles are peptides and
retinol. More extreme options include fractionated resurfacing, a
technique that uses lasers such as Affirm and Fraxel.

Tightening the Skin
Dealing with loose skin is another problem in the neck area and if
you want to know how to prevent neck
wrinkles than you must check out some simple homemade remedies.
Mix a tomato with half of a peeled cucumber and half a cup of fresh
cream in a blender and apply it with cotton balls on your neck.
This gives the skin a good boost of antioxidants in the form of
vitamins A and C. Another easy way to tighten the skin is using
mashed avocado that should be left on your neck for 30
minutes.
Hiding Skin Spots
Caused by UV exposure, skin spots can give your neck a blotchy
look. The best way to deal with this problem for an aging neck is
using a bleaching cream for an extended period of time. The best
ingredients for these neck skin care products include kojic acid,
along with licorice and mushroom extracts. Creams with AHAs can
also help the bleaching process.
Protecting Your Skin
Even if you wear sunscreen daily, you should take a few more steps
for protecting your skin besides using the right neck skin care
products. Avoid make-up and perfume on the neck and also be careful
about the weather when you wear jewelry. Even silver and gold can
leave black marks when worn for extended periods of time on humid
days. When you know your skin will be exposed to a lot of moisture,
opt for pearls, bends and enamel jewelry.
Reducing Banding
Vertical chords which form as the muscle begins to stretch out of
shape don't have a simple fix. Botox can help, but exercises for an
aging neck don't have the desired effects. If you're willing to try
a more permanent option, the right surgery is the platysmaplasty,
which tightens the muscle and anchors it for a younger looking
neck.
