How To Rejuvenate Your Neck

The skin on your neck often ages faster due to a lack of collagen in this area. This is why wrinkles and/or creases often occur prematurely. To avoid this you need to keep your skin deeply hydrated. In this way it will be softer to the touch and you'll get a more nourished complexion.

One of the best ways to moisturize the skin on your neck is with olive oil, as it is a 100% natural ingredient and functions as a moisturizer. To apply it put two drops of oil on some cotton wool and apply it on your neck and chest while they are still wet after having a shower.

Another one of the best natural ingredients for moisturizing the skin is honey. Moreover, it will also help to combat loss of firmness giving a more toned and strengthened appearance. To take advantage of its properties just add a layer of honey onto your neck once a week and let it work for 20 minutes. Rinse it afterwards with cold water and you'll gradually notice the change.

To keep the skin on your neck taut and smooth whenever you're in the shower, you should direct the pressurized jet of water towards your neck and neckline. The water should be cold in order to stimulate blood circulation and also to prevent sagging skin and the appearance of flabbiness in this area that can cause jowls.

It is also recommended that once or twice a week you perform a neck massage to stimulate the area and prevent sagging.

To rejuvenate your neck we also recommend applying a homemade mask that contains properties that provide elasticity and firmness to the skin once a week. The ingredients that are part of this treatment are as follows:

• 2 tablespoons organic honey
• 2 egg yolks
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

The oil moisturizes the skin, the honey combats sagging and the egg provides nutrients and vitamins that will keep the area smoother and younger. To make this mask, just mix all of the ingredients in a bowl, apply it onto the skin of your neck with circular massaging movements and then leave it to act for 15 minutes. After this time rinse it with cold water to get the circulation flowing.

To get a young neck without any wrinkles it is also important to take care of the skin in this area and to keep it well hydrated and free of impurities. To do this you should use scrubs every week to help to remove any dirt or toxin that has been embedded in your pores. Besides this, by scrubbing your skin you also activate micro-circulation that brings oxygen to your tissues and makes your skin look firmer.

Furthermore it is also essential to protect your skin from external agents that can damage your appearance, like UVA rays. For this reason, it is important to use sun cream of at least factor 30 every day to prevent marks caused by the sun's rays which can cause the skin to wrinkle faster.

You should also perform a series of exercises to improve the elasticity of the skin on your neck. Bear in mind that over the years horizontal wrinkles (like folds) can appear in this area and, in addition to being unsightly, can cause you to have a more aged appearance. To combat this you can do facial exercises to train the muscles and skin in this area.

• Exercise 1: pronounce all the vowels while opening up your mouth as wide as you can. Repeat 10 times.

• Exercise 2: do some neck stretches to strengthen the area and stretch your skin. In this article we tell you how to stretch your neck muscles.

• Exercise 3: stick out your tongue and try to touch your nose with it. With this exercise you'll be able to strengthen the muscles.

However, if you want a more effective and immediate solution for rejuvenating your neck you can opt for a cosmetic treatment with immediate and very visible results. It uses an ultrasound technique that, without using surgery, is able to overcome the signs of aging. The sounds penetrate the deepest layers of your skin, activating collagen in a natural way.
