Healthy Skin Month: For your Lovely Neck + Chest

EVERYDAY TIPS FOR HEALTHY SKIN

Don't neglect your neck if you want to stay looking youthful.

Most of us are guilty of stopping our skincare routine as soon as we hit our chin, which may not seem like an issue if you're in your 20s, 30s + 40s. But as you age you will begin to see aging on your neck and chest and wish you'd paid those areas the same attention as you do your face. You can use the same products that you use on your face.

THE PROBLEMS WITH TECH NECK

Limit your screen time! It is the biggest cause of “tech neck.”

Tech neck refers to skin laxity and lines that occur from looking down at your computer or your phone for long periods of time. Any repetitive movement or contraction of underlying muscles has the potential to cause skin lines and wrinkles over time.

SPF SPF SPF!

In this day & age when sunscreen is in basically everything, you really have no excuse, my dear. Protect your neck.

SPF is your best friend—the premature lines caused by hunching over your IG feed are only made worse by sun damage. Using daily SPF will also help protect the skin from sun damage, which causes collagen breakdown and eventually lines and laxity.

MOISTURIZE, MOISTURIZE, MOISTURIZE!

Be vigilant about moisturizing.

Did you know that your neck has fewer glands than the skin on your face? Because of this, the neck is more susceptible dryness and irritation (and more prone to scarring). Use a moisturizer to keep dryness at bay.

Choose the right products + understand their ingredients.

It’s important to remember that there are not “blind controlled studies” backing the products, but only the brand’s research. We research based on what’s good for your skin to absorb, not what benefits us. Check out our ingredient philosophy page to learn more.
