Your Neck

Your neck is one of the first places

to give away your age.
Unfortunately the neck is 

highly visual so it is quite difficult 
to cover up the fact that you 
are aging if the condition of 
your neck is not up 
to the same standard as the rest 
of your body.

It is not quite as easy as it 

might seem because the neck skin
 is one of the 
areas on the body that gets particularly dry due to having fewer oil glands
 than anywhere else on the body.

In addition to this lack of oil glands we are constantly turning our

 head and moving it in different directions throughout the day.
This constant movement effects of collagen and elastin fibers causing 

them to lose their tone sooner than other parts of the body.

Obviously we don't want to stop moving our head around as that 

will be totally impractical, so what are the alternatives for helping to 
keep the skin of the neck from sagging and looking old?

Well the first thing you need to do is consider this part of the body 

as one of the more important parts that need your attention.
This will be a major change for many women who neglect the neck skin

 in favor of spending time on the face or the rest of the body.

The most important thing that you need to do for the skin on your neck

 is to keep it moisturized on a regular basis and 
more so than for most of the rest of the body.

Ensure that you always put sufficient sunscreen on your neck 

right up to your jaw line.
Make sure that you always put sufficient moisturizing cream on your neck

 when you're doing your face and also when you're doing your body 
as this particularly dry area can always do with more moisturizer.

Used upward strokes when applying cream to your neck and try not to look down when you're reading or working because this will encourage a double chin.

Rapid changes in weight gain or weight loss can also cause baggy 

skin under the chin.


Just for fun here is a recipe, but my favorite is just using coconut oil.
