Don't Neglect Your Neck- How To Prevent Visible Neck Aging
When our skincare routine neglects the neck, the face and the neck age at noticeably different rates. This is something to be aware of, considering the neck is known to be one of the most prominently aging features of our bodies due to its particularly thin and delicate nature, not so dissimilar to the fragile, thin skin of our eyes.
While we don’t automatically think of the neck as an extension of the face, it is a front-facing, highly visible part of our appearance that experiences just as much exposure to sunlight, environmental pollutants and the effects of aging. In addition, the muscles that run along the neck weaken more rapidly than our facial muscles due to the fact that they’re not as firmly supported by our bone structure, and are therefore naturally less taut and extremely prone to sagging.

Our lifestyles and self-care routines, or lack thereof, can also impact the state of our neck with phenomena like “tech neck,” otherwise known as the amplified creasing of neck skin as a result of folding forward in a hunched posture, a consequence of looking at our cellphones and laptops for long periods each day or week. And did you know that artificial blue-light emitted by our electronics can contribute to damaged, tired, dull and saggy looking skin? MBR’s CEA Blue-Light Power Cream is formulated with Ectoin and other remarkable skin protectants and enrichers that keep blue-light damage at bay while moisturizing, promoting collagen and elastin production, and improving the skin’s structure- an essential for those who work long hours at the computer! Even the simple act of forgetting to apply sunscreen to your neck can be responsible for rapid and visible signs of aging and decreased elasticity, which is why you should always keep a trusty SPF close by. We love Elta MD’s Oil-Free UV Clear SPF 46.
