4 ways to reduce the signs of ageing on your neck

If you’re like many of us, you seen a lot of time using beauty products on your face. But what about the skin exposed just a few centimetres below the face?

The neck is just as visible as the face, yet it is often very much neglected in the beauty routines of women around the world.

Try these simple tips to keep the skin on your neck in good shape (to match your gorgeous face).

1. Use your cleansers, moisturiser and anti-ageing creams on your neck

Don’t stop your creams and cleansers at your jaw line; go all the way down to your neck, where the skin is thinner and more prone to showing the signs of ageing.

2. Choose natural fibres for jumpers and scarves

If you’re wrapping up with a scarf or wearing a jumper that goes onto your neck, be sure to avoid synthetic fibres that can irritate the sensitive skin there. They’re also more likely to pull moisture from the skin if they’re not natural wool or cotton.

3. Keep perfume to a minimum

There’s no need to just spray your fragrance on the neck area only, as this can make the skin more sensitive to sunlight. Instead, dab a little perfume on the neck, wrists and behind the ears where it’s less likely to cause issue. 

4. Avoid irritants like sun and cigarette smoke

Skin damage from the sun can quickly age you, and smoking can cause more wrinkles on the face and neck. Be sure to cover up with a good quality sunscreen on your face and neck, and steer clear of smoke if at all possible.
