6 Ways To Prevent Neck Wrinkles

There goes a saying that a woman’s age can be detected by looking at her neck. This is because the neck is often neglected from pampering that other parts of body tend to get. Women obsessively hunt for the best beauty products like facial moisturizers, sunscreen and other skin care products as well as the best peels, Botox procedures and laser treatments. For them, a beautiful face is more significant than a beautiful neck. It is no doubt that all this lead to neck wrinkles.

To get rid of such wrinkles and prevent their reappearance, proper skin care is required which can cater to both the face and the neck.

There are several easy tricks to get a beautiful and smooth neck.  Here are 6 of them:

1.  One recipe for avoiding neck wrinkles is applying papaya and pineapple on both the face and neck. These can be applied directly from the raw fruits. Small pieces of papaya and pineapple can be applied and left for 15 minutes. One can then rinse off with warm water. These are also present in many beauty products. They also form the main ingredients of many natural peels due to their exfoliating properties. They ‘peel’ off the outer layer and stimulate the growth of new healthy skin cells.

Omega 3

2.  Moisturizing the neck along with the face is necessary. The thin and delicate skin around the neck is very sensitive. To prevent wrinkle formation daily application of serum, cream or moisturizer is required. These products should consist of Vitamin A and E and antioxidants which promote skin elasticity and texture. It should be applied in an upward motion, starting from the bottom of the neck and ending in the jaw line. It should also be done several times a day.

3.  A good sunscreen is also necessary for the neck. Most often women neglect this area, especially right below the ears, and merely apply extra cover on the face. To keep the neck wrinkles at bay using a good sunblock is mandatory.

4.  The omega-3 acids present in fish do wonders for skin rejuvenation. They boost collagen production and act as sealer for the cells. They are also considered to be ideal skin protectors. One can eat plenty of fish for getting omega-3 acids. People can also receive their benefits through fish oil supplements, available in local grocery stores and pharmacies. They should, however, be mercury-free and contain purified formula.

Neck Exercises

5.  Regular throat and neck exercises also prevent the formation of neck wrinkles.  These exercises are often overlooked by many in the anti-aging industry however face exercises have time and time again shown to help lift and smooth out the skin of the neck and lower face. Sufficient water intake for hydration and proper diet also help in enhancing the firmness of the skin. The head should be kept high and straight to overcome the formation of creases in the neck area.

6.  One should also avoid sleeping with high pillows at bed time, for they result in neck wrinkles over a long period of time.  A small pillow can maximize the angle between the face and the neck, thus slowing down the aging of the skin.
