Anti-Aging
The skin on your neck and décolleté—the triangular area extending below the collarbones to just above the breast—is different from the skin on your face. There are fewer oil glands and collagen in this zone. Because it lacks that natural moisturizer, these often-neglected areas are more prone to wrinkling. The neck, is notably thin and subjected to repetitive movement, stretching, and sun exposure. As a result, you may see signs of aging including lack of elasticity, hyperpigmentation and fine lines on the neck before any other part of the body,”
Genetics predisposition plays a large part in how our necks age. Excess neck skin and fat that crosses below the jawline—that unsightly “turkey gobble”—and protruding platysmal bands (the two cords that pop out from under the chin toward the clavicle) reflect the 46 chromosomes we receive from our parents. Over this, we have little control but, you do have control over other factors.
“Tech neck” is the newest term created to describe the more recent growing issue of early aging lines found on the neck. These lines tend to surface before other signs of aging and are caused by the repetition of looking up and down at our electronic devices. Rapid weight loss as well as a reduction of natural hyaluronic acid due to menopause are other causes for thinning skin in those areas.
As for the décolleté the sun plays a major factor, especially if you were big on tanning in your youth. Unprotected exposure to UV rays will lead to splotchy pigmentation, crepiness, and wrinkles caused by a loss of collagen.
Slowing signs of aging skin care does not stop at the jaw. First things first: wearing sunscreen daily on your face and body is essential. UV exposure speeds up the aging process, so keep your skin protected by limiting your time in the sun and wearing SPF 30 or higher—as well as reapplying it throughout the day—to keep skin looking its best.
Focus on skincare with collagen-building ingredients. Collagen is the protein that gives your skin its structure and helps with firming and tightening. The more collagen that is present in your skin, the denser and smoother it is—meaning less lines, creases, and wrinkles. For a at home routine, I recommend incorporating products with active vitamin C to start.
