Hey, dolls! Most of us spend a lot of time pampering our faces, but there’s one area that often gets overlooked: our necks. Yuuuuuup, your neck deserves just as much love and care as your face! Let's get into why we shouldn't forget to include your neck in our skincare routine and how to do it right. Trust us, your neck will thank you!
Like your face, your neck has delicate skin that’s prone to showing signs of aging and sun damage. Some reasons why you should give it some TLC? The skin on your neck is thinner and has fewer oil glands, making it more susceptible to wrinkles. It's also often exposed to the sun but might not always get the SPF it needs, leading to sunspots or uneven tone. Plus, from looking down at our phones (hello, tech neck!) to environmental pollutants, your neck goes through a lot every day.
So how do we give your neck the attention it deserves? Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to incorporating neck care into your daily regimen:
1. Use a gentle cleanser to wash your neck, just like you do with your face. This helps remove dirt, oil, and impurities.
2. Exfoliate your neck once or twice a week to slough off dead skin cells and promote cell turnover. Be gentle to avoid irritation.
3. Extend your face serums down to your neck. Look for serums with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and peptides.
4. Use a hydrating moisturizer, but don't forget the power of body oils. Oils like our All Day Slay can deeply nourish the skin, keeping it smooth and supple.
5. Apply sunscreen to your neck every morning. SPF is your best defense against sun damage and premature signs of aging.
If you really want to show your neck some love, treat it to a special mask once a week for an extra boost of hydration and nourishment. You can also incorporate a gentle massage when applying products. Using body oils during your massage can stimulate circulation and enhance absorption while providing wanted moisture.
Overall, including your neck in your skincare routine is a good look for maintaining healthy skin. By extending your skincare regimen to this often-forgotten area, you can protect against all kinds of daily stressors. So next time you’re pampering your face, remember that neck!
