The neck and hands reveal our age... and they are 2 of the parts we care for the least. We always apply creams to our face and body, but we rarely emphasize the neck. The first warning signs are the appearance of a double chin, sagging skin, and wrinkles. Therefore, starting today, we need to combat them with a diet that prevents fluid retention, facial exercises, and appropriate makeup. No matter how old you are, it's time to start now! Combat the double chin from all fronts Starting at 30 years old, the jaw muscles begin to lose tension, encouraging the development of a double chin and the loss of definition in the facial oval. The causes are many, ranging from genetic predisposition, sudden weight changes, to diets high in fats and salt. Increasing the intake of fruits, vegetables, and whole foods while reducing the consumption of high-sodium foods (table salt, canned goods, cured meats, among others) and animal fats (processed meats, industrial pastries, etc.) are some good dietary practices that help avoid fat accumulation and fluid retention. Of course, we should complement this diet by drinking plenty of fluids, especially water. Hydrating the skin in this area is very important, and we rarely remember it. The first step is to apply a moisturizing cream to the neck to combat sagging. If this is already visible, it is better to use a specific cream with a tightening effect. We must not forget to apply sunscreen to avoid aging skin, loss of elasticity, and accentuating the double chin. Remember that the cream is always applied from top to bottom and gently, without moving the skin. Facial exercises The type of skin on the neck promotes the appearance of the so-called Venus Rings, those annoying horizontal wrinkles, as well as vertical ones—produced by sleeping positions—and sagging. To combat them, practice some facial gymnastics exercises (always in sets of 10). One of them consists of pronouncing all the vowels while opening your mouth as wide as possible; another involves stretching the neck and moving the lower jaw forward as much as possible to tone the area. Sticking out your tongue and trying to touch your nose with it also helps to strengthen the jaw. Ideal makeup for the neck The key to disguising neck wrinkles is to use a lifting effect foundation. To camouflage the double chin or sagging, the secret is to use a slightly darker foundation on the double chin area. Natural alternatives A pressure jet of cold water on the neck area followed by a gentle massage with a vegetable sponge is one of many natural alternatives. Others opt for the use of honey: applying a good dose to the area, covering it with a slightly damp gauze, and letting it act for 20 minutes before rinsing with cold water, taking advantage of honey's moisturizing properties to combat loss of firmness.
