What you don’t know about your neck skin
Did you know? Neck skin is part of the same skin as the face, but it has many unique features.
Neck skin is 40% thinner than the face! , and collagen is more easily lost! This makes it less resistant to external stimuli, more likely to show signs of aging, the signs of age are more likely to leave footprints in the neck. Therefore the neck anti-aging more urgent!
Moreover, the daily “movement” of the neck skin is very large, often bending and stretching, especially when we look down to brush the phone, look at the computer, the neck skin will be repeatedly folded. In the long run, neck lines deepen and become “traitors” that reveal the secrets of age.
Understanding these characteristics of the neck skin allows us to take care of the neck more precisely and do a good job of anti-aging the neck!
Genes play a major role in the formation of neck lines
The appearance of neck lines is not the result of a single factor, but rather a combination of factors.
First of all, genes play an important role in the formation of neck lines. The length of the neck, the thickness of the skin and the distribution of neck fat are all predetermined by genes. When people with longer necks look down, the stretching of the neck skin is relatively small, compared to people with shorter necks, it is less likely to produce neck lines; while people with naturally thinner or fatter neck skin are more likely to have redundancy when their skin bends and folds, forming folds, and neck lines are also more likely to come to them, so anti-aging of the neck is particularly important!
Second, the natural aging process is an irresistible force. As we age, our wisdom grows, but the gradual loss of collagen and elastic fibers in the skin, like the gradual decay of the support structure of a building, the neck skin loses its elasticity, becomes flaccid, and wrinkles appear naturally.
Ultraviolet light, the “skin killer”, is also merciless to the neck skin. Daily travel, outdoor activities, the neck skin is often exposed, a long time to suffer from ultraviolet rays, collagen and elastic fibers in the skin is damaged, accelerated aging, neck wrinkles also deepened. Daily should also do a good job of neck anti-aging care!
Finally, frequent low head brush cell phone, look at the computer, the neck skin for a long time in a state of bending, like a repeatedly folded paper, over time, neck lines will be deeply imprinted in the neck. So, if you want to fight against neck lines, you have to start from understanding the causes and break them down!
So how in the world to lighten the neck lines?
Simple Neck Care Tips to Say Goodbye to Neck Lines
First, start with your daily habits.
