79

Are you the one who just tend to focus on face, neglecting your neck? Well, this is a mistake that I guess many people commit. Your neck is equally sensitive and prone to ageing as your face. Skin experts around the world suggest paying more attention to neck as the neck skin has less collagen and consequently can begin to sag. It is thus important to treat your neck well to avoid premature wrinkling and dryness. Therefore, keep in mind to extend your face wash, exfoliating scrubs and moisturizers onto the neck and make it look super sexy. After all, who doesn’t like to flaunt a beautiful neck? Are you wondering how to make your neck look good?

Below are a few tips for a younger-looking neck

Moisturize it

Who doesn’t know the benefits of moisturizing? It is one of the best mediums to avoid skin-ageing and drying effects. Next time, remember to spend as much time on neck as you spend on moisturizing your face. Make your neck look good under cold and dry weather by extra application of moisturizer whenever you step outdoor.

Here’s how to moisturize your neck for maximum benefits:

• Moisturize your neck immediately after bath with clean hands. The damp skin absorbs the lotion quickly, helping it to lock moisture on the skin. Simply pat dry your neck and apply face moisturizer, preferably homemade moisturizer.
• Apply a liberal amount of Moisturizer to the most neglected parts of your neck – back and sides. It will help to minimize horizontal wrinkles and sagging of the neck skin.
• Rub the moisturizer stroking upwards from bust line to chin, to avoid pulling down the skin. It helps to keep away from wrinkles.
• Moisturize at least twice a day, preferably in the morning and before going to bed. Also, if your face is dry then your neck is dry too.
