NATIONAL NECK CARE DAY

April 24 is National Neck Care Day, so there’s no better time to discuss the importance of caring for your neck as part of your daily skincare routine! Our goal is to empower people with all skin types to stop neglecting the neck and decolletage area and prevent common signs of aging that can appear.

#NationalNeckCareDay

Caring for the delicate skin on the neck is just as important as caring for the skin on the rest of your face. However, according to a survey conducted by NEOSTRATA®, only 17% of 2,000 women pay significant attention to caring for their neck. In addition, less than 1/3 of women use a skincare product on their neck daily. National Neck Care Day is intended to encourage people to take their skincare routine below the chin.

Many of us become self-conscious about our appearance as we get older, especially on the neck area. It’s an area that is often forgotten about, which is why it’s one of the first areas on the body to show signs of aging. The reality is our necks need just as much attention as our faces. The best thing you can do to get ahead of this is to include your neck as part of your skincare routine.

Simple Neck Skincare Routine

Neck skin is thinner and contains less collagen than facial skin, meaning it needs special care to align with your face in the aging process. Because of this, skin in this area is more prone to showing signs of aging like wrinkles and sagging if not properly cared for. Here are a few simple steps to incorporate your neck in your daily skincare routine:

Wash your neck thoroughly with a gentle cleanser every day using the same cleanser you use for your face.
Use a gentle exfoliant a few times a week to promote skin cell renewal, which will give your skin a healthy glow!
Moisturize your neck just as you would your face. Keeping your skin hydrated will keep your skin looking fresh.
Consider incorporating a neck-specific product into your nightly skincare routine, such as a neck cream. These are often formulated with key ingredients to help visibly reduce the signs of aging, such as wrinkles. Neck cream will also firm and tone the skin on your neck.
Wear sunscreen daily, especially when outside for prolonged periods of time. The sun causes significant skin damage and can accelerate signs of aging.

Even if your face looks youthful, failure to care for skin on the neck could leave you with wrinkles and fine lines that reveal your age. National Neck Care Day is your reminder to take care of your neck skin so you can take pride in your youthful glow!
