5 tips to rejuvenate your neck

As we age, our skin gradually loses moisture and elasticity, leading to more pronounced wrinkles. This, combined with exposure to UV rays and other environmental aggressors, means that these wrinkles and fine lines can be combined with dark spots over time. Did you know that one of the first areas of the skin to show these signs of aging is the neck? While this fact remains true, you don't have to settle for those fine lines and dark spots! Although we can't keep from growing old, there are some steps we can take to slow down the visible signs of aging. Below we will share a few simple tips that will help you make your neck look younger.

Use sunscreen - all year round

One of the main causes of premature signs of skin aging - from wrinkles to dark spots - is the sun. These harsh UVA and UVB rays can affect our skin from head to toe, especially on the neck. Whether you're lying on the beach or walking in the snow, it's important to apply broad-spectrum sunscreen to your face and neck every day to prevent sun-induced skin aging. Also, remember to reapply sunscreen throughout the day to stay protected. 

Layer of antioxidants

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant, also known as L-ascorbic acid, found in many anti-aging skincare products, from serums to creams and cleansers. In fact, it is often considered the gold standard in anti-aging! Foods containing vitamin C are known to help combat signs of free radical damage and premature signs of skin aging—fine lines, wrinkles, dull tone, and uneven texture. 

Step away from your smartphone

Smartphones are great for keeping us connected all the time, but they can also be responsible for the technology neck. Tech neck is caused by repeated folds of skin when you look down to check your notifications. To avoid these wrinkles, try to keep your neck in a neutral position. when scrolling your smartphone.
