How to Reduce Neck Lines and Wrinkles Without Surgery

How to Reduce Neck Lines and Wrinkles Without Surgery Most people over 30 are familiar with horizontal lines and wrinkles forming on the neck. Neck lines are one of the first signs of ageing; if they appear early, they can make you look older than you really are. So it is not surprising that quite a lot of people are wondering how to reduce neck lines and wrinkles without resorting to expensive and invasive treatments.

The skin of your neck is exposed to considerable stress every day. It constantly stretches and contracts when you move your head and is exposed to the sun, wind, high and low temperatures and other external factors when you aren’t wearing a scarf. In addition, there is very little subcutaneous fat and sebaceous glands in this area of the body. As a result, the skin of the neck easily loses moisture and is more vulnerable to natural and photo ageing.

Because of this, most people over the age of 30 have neck lines, and some get them as early as at age 25. Nevertheless, you can still prevent the formation of unappealing folds on the skin of your neck or at least slow it down as much as possible. To do this, you should follow a few important rules.

First of all, you need to invest in a good pillow. Your pillow should be neither too thick nor to thin. Ideally, it should support your head in a strictly horizontal position during sleep, so that you neither throw your had back nor press your chin to your chest.

If you have the habit of staring at your phone or laptop with your head down, you need to get rid of it. This, by the way, will not only help to prevent premature neck lines or wrinkles, but it will also contribute to your overall health (because neck pain is no joke).

You should also eat healthy and control your body weight. Sudden changes in body weight, both weight gain and loss, often result in stretch marks and other skin damage. And if your diet lacks proteins, healthy fats, vitamins and dietary minerals, your body won’t produce enough collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, which are responsible for the skin’s firmness and elasticity.

Finally, it is important to take good care of the skin of your neck. A lot of people forget to apply moisturiser to their neck or think it is unnecessary. In reality, the skin of the neck needs hydration, nourishment and protection from harmful environmental factors as much as the skin on the rest of your body.

So, now you know what to do to prevent premature neck lines. But is there something you can do to make the ones you already have less visible? First and foremost, don’t panic. If you take a comprehensive approach, you will be able to reduce the appearance of neck lines without resorting to invasive procedures. This approach includes making sure that your body gets all the nutrients it needs, taking care of the skin of your neck, and exercising your neck.

If you want your skincare routine to be effective, it is very important to choose the right products. Make sure they contain ingredients that stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, hydrate the skin and lock in moisture, nourish the skin, protect it from free radicals and UV radiation, have a toning effect, and help to maintain the skin’s natural hydro-lipid balance. Such ingredients include vitamins A, C and E, resveratrol, peptides, hyaluronic acid, natural vegetable oils, cosmetic clay, honey, and more.

You can use any type of anti-age skincare products for the neck you want: various moisturisers, serums, boosters, different types of masks (peel-off alginate masks are considered especially effective, etc.). Just make sure you apply them properly. Any products for the neck should be applied from the bottom up. Do not stretch or rub the skin, especially in the area where your thyroid gland is.
