Spring renewal means Exfoliation, Hydration, and Exposure. Go ahead, stick your neck out!
After winter, the skin can be congested from dead, dry skin cells due to dry air and heavier moisturizers and oils. While all areas of the face are important, one area that is often neglected is the neck. When we treat our patients, we can feel the difference in skin texture between the face and neck. Our habit is to focus on the more prominent area of the face, but the neck shows aging starkly as we shed our scarves and turtlenecks. In addition, our devices cause “Tech Neck”. The craned position causes muscle strain, lines, and wrinkles when constantly looking down at your phone or tablet.
We recommend regular facials and effective skincare products with anti-aging ingredients like botanical growth factors, peptides, and hyaluronic acid to battle wrinkles, loose skin, and sun damage. Sunscreen is crucial to protect the delicate skin of the neck; when applying sunscreen, think of one pump for the face and another for the neck and décolleté.
The delicate neck skin needs a gentle cleanser like TITOK NATURALS Cleansing Milk. Massage the cleanser into the skin with gentle upward strokes to avoid pulling the skin downward.
If the neck area seems congested after winter, use an exfoliant to remove dead skin cells and allow for better absorption of healing ingredients like Proteasyl (pea extract) to boost collagen synthesis.
Stretch and relax your neck to loosen tight muscles and promote ease of movement. The top of the spine and neck are intimately connected to the nerves of the spinal column, so maintaining a healthy neck promotes all-over health. Ensure you sleep on the proper neck, head, and back comfort pillow. Use silk pillowcases to prevent wrinkles and help keep hair healthy.
