The Skin on Your Neck May Be Giving Away Your Age

The skin on the neck is the thinnest part of the body. And when people get to a certain age it begins to sag and wrinkles begin to show. It may also occur among people who do not have wrinkles on their face. Nevertheless, wrinkles on the neck make you look older. So, for a younger looking neck, anti-aging creams should be used, and it is just as important that you exercise the area before it becomes problematic. If age and gravity have already created unsightly wrinkles, there are measures you can take to make the skin around your neck look younger. Here are 7 essential steps you should follow:
 
Step 1:

Do exercises that are specifically targeted at the neck to get rid of the wrinkly appearance. To start, you can sit on a chair, tilt your head back and stare at the ceiling keeping your eyes closed. Then, start chewing. Feel how the skin on your neck tightens. Remaining in the same sitting position, pucker your lips and try to kiss the ceiling. Finish off by sticking out your tongue as you try to touch your chin with it.
Step 2:

Be sure to always use sunscreen on your neck, as too much sun can cause aging to the skin. Facial creams are also beneficial, yet you need not spend a fortune on facial creams to avoid wrinkles, as many do not offer the same benefits for the face, that they do for the neck. So, when purchasing facial creams, look into creams that are also beneficial for the neck.
Step 3:

Practice perfect posture. Keep your head held high for the skin on the neck to automatically stretch. Then, pretend that a cord from the sky is holding your head in place. This will diminish the look of wrinkles. Avoid looking at the ground and refrain from sagging your shoulders as this position accentuates the wrinkles of the skin on your neck. If working at a desk, adjust your computer screen so that you won~t have to look down at it.
Step 4:

Be sure to treat any age spots on your neck as they draw attention to the wrinkles. You may also use a lightening cream on areas that have hyperpigmentation. High levels of glycol acid will also reduce the appearance of brown spot. Liquorish extract is another natural alternative you can use.  
Step 5:

If you are a smoker, make it a point to try and quit. Smoking contributes to wrinkles and puckers around the lips. It can also lead to neck skin looking older.
Step 6:
